The Third Man

Yes please, keep him away from Sheffield

No thanks, we have an excellent team for the league we are in, never know might get promoted at the end of the season

So its three teams in isolation this year. next year lets say two more teams in isolation and so on, how long before these isolated problems mean there is no speedway. These problems are a problem for the whole of speedway, not just for the three teams

Waiting for Belle Vue?

and they will changed as soon as possible, usually when people have already booked their away trip

Merry Chrismas from the more famous tigers as well

Even if that was true it would be irrelevant, you cant hold up a meeting because someone is having bike problems, unless after a crash,

Never thought of him staying with Stead as team manager, but as you say nothing to say he has gone, heres hoping though

I have to say that every time Boocock gets involved with Sheffield he upsets riders and the track gets slick, hopefully with him gone next season we can get back to normal

Yet some tracks do it on a regular basis, and Sheffield actually managed it on few occasions last season, the best meeting being against Newcastle in the league cup

Just to put the record straight, they didn't throw a match, they bet that their team, Sheffield Wednesday, would lose, in fact one of them got the man of the match award after the game, still a serious offence but not match fixing

Would want to risk your life for no pay, that's what you are saying he should have done I can understand someone going through the motions and staying safe, after all it is the promotion short changing the fans, by collecting their money and not paying the riders who therefore did not put on a show for fans

A lot will depend on who has first call on the riders when there are fixture clashes, this could be just as important as any injuries we may get

Great news, potentially, hope this works out, and with team as it is should be a good year. As long as we get the track sorted out.

the name change is irrelevant, it wont change anything at all The strange thing is on radio Sheffield before the play off final they said the winner of the play off final would be "Promoted" to the Premier League (they don't do speedway normally) how ever as it happens they were correct, Somerset won the play offs, moved up a league and will ride in the premier league So maybe they knew more than the speedway experts knew after all.

i think the league titles could be decided on who has first call on the double up riders, therefore avoiding guests. so its not just injuries to worry about next season

i was there, my first season watching speedway Might even still have the programme

Cant remenber him wearing glasses, see avatar, Bobbath, is that the race jacket and wasn't it normally eight qualified from each semi?

As I said is this something to do with the pressure he is under riding for family at Sheffield?

I just think for his own benefit he could do with being away from the pressure he must have riding at Sheffield He showed this with how he rode for Coventry and some good scores in his guest bookings, however I agree that on his average it wouldn't be a problem having him back.

Was a joke, because he has progressed for Coventry, but not for Sheffield

Do you support Coventry or Sheffield?

Totally agree, actually anyone would be better than Boocock, even our cocker spaniel, at least she doesn't upset everyone

Agree, cant see a problem with the signings so far, both have the potential to up their averages, and that's what you need. thought it was common knowledge at the end of the season that Berge wouldn't be back Need a number one next then the rest can be sorted out Up early this morning Chris

Like I said lots of confusion
