Not quite as the Tigers could have lost lastnight and still made through,unless Kings Lynn somehow overturned a 70+ match points difference.

Light rain just started.

Tigers trying to finish in 4th place!

No it won't be open,and Owlerton still holds over 3000+ and that's unlikely to be reached.

Josh had a very heavy spill in Ht15 last Thursday at Owlerton,so might not be fit.

try refreshing the page if it dosen't load,you may have to try a few times

Well,Jack's time might be legit,Chris went round in 59.79 earlier and the track was really grippy that that evening.Tai was struggling to keep up with Jack in that race! http://www.sheffield-tigers.co.uk/birp130052024.html The times were quick all night.

Crowd was noticeably up on the Kings Lynn fixture ,plenty of kids in for free and a few 'old faces' around me that have been missing, were back.

It was later announced that Anders time was null and void due to a faulty transponder!

They don't seem much different for Belle Vue and Leicester,however the Kings Lynn attendance was lower, possibly because of the heat as there was several 'familiar faces' who stand near me missing.The silence over Jack isn't helping matters.

He did get 11+2 earlier in the year! Target is 39 for us for the bonus point.

True enough in my Dad's case.He passed halfway through the 2024 season,so that's roughly £700 in entrance money ( upto lastweek) that the club have needed to replace for him. Multiply by just 10 and that's £7000...

Well mis-remembered,it was a PL meeting (May 7th 1998)!

... "will be a future World Champion ! " (they weren't!)

I'll start with my period of following Sheffield. 1977-1979 Sheffield Speedway was Promoted on behalf of County Speedways (Owlerton Sports Stadium) by John Dews. Then the Promotion rights were put up for sale. 1980-1984 (March) Ray Glover. 1984-1989 (February) Maurice Ducker. 1991-1992 (June) Cliff Carr. 1992 (July)-2013 Neil Machin along with Tim Lucking (1996) Malcolm Wright 1996-2007 Louis Carr was involved up to the end of 2001. David Hoggett 2008-2013 2014-2025 Damien Bates and Peter Mole. 2026 Damien Bates and Louise Mole.

Just be thankful he hasn't gone from a near 9 point rider to under 6 like he did in 2021 !

If Steady wants to try something different with RR at home, then move Chris to 2. 1 Jack RR 2 Chris 3 Leon 4 Anders 5 Josh It frees Chris up to do heat 13 and also means he can ride with Josh three times. For Example, Ht 1 Chris-Leon Ht 6 Chris-Anders Ht 10 Chris-Josh Ht 13 Chris-Josh Ht 15 Chris-Josh It would mean pairing Leon and Anders but they score enough at home to cope reasonably well.

I've never seen them win here and I go back to the 80's! They did get a draw in 2006 in the Prem League and 2007 in the Prem Trophy.

Sometime in 2001 actually FD as you,Gemini, and Norbold were already posting when I joined in June 2001. 2003 was when Phil moved the forum and we all had to rejoin!

SKY have moved Wednesday's home match with Bradford from the 3pm Saturday to 8pm Thursday 20th August,the same night the Tigers face Kings Lynn at Owlerton.

From 2001 to the mid 2010's it was very well used,most teams had fans posting.It started to fall off when the likes of Reading,Eastbourne and Coventry especially closed along with all the other tracks lost to the sport. There was quite a few Sheffield fans (Forum owner Phil included ! ) who would post daily,now hardly anyone bothers as the Tigers- Leicester meeting thread proved!

The team who replaced him and won the league...?

If the two N'hampton meetings had gone ahead (tonights was to have been r2 in the original fixtures) we'd have had half of our home fixtures for the season.Two home meetings a month is workable until the weather hits or there is no other team free to come.

Well it is raining in Sheffield right now,so it was the right call.

Steady probably had the holiday booked for half term week way before the fixtures came out. As for Anders keep him,we know what he can do and to be fair all the Tigers have had a duff score so far this season.I would swap him and Leon over though.
