Thought we might have seen an update by now on Sheffield by the club based on their message last week. Hopefully we hear something positive by the end of the week 🤞

All pretty quiet on the Sheffield front for 2026 which I’m taking as a positive that we will be running in 2026, no continual messages from the club about those interested in buying to contact the club like in previous times. Hopefully pre AGM the club confirms its intentions and can then get on with rider announcements

26 plus 2 bonus points out of a maximum of 30 from his 10 rides, you have to say Kyle Howarth was the on fire over both legs, without his performance at Armadale it would have been all over after the 1st leg

Heard ‘Torun Belly’ can be a bitch especially this time of the year

Just hope the weather plays ball this week so we can get a completed fixture list and true end of regular season table

First trip to Workington’s new home, great venue, really impressed its definitely got room for growth. As for today’s racing it was really hampered by an ultra slick powdery surface which the water just couldn’t adhere to and soak in so was simply back to being dry and dusty in minutes. The inside line was the place to be for the vast majority of races. Impressive performances from Fraser Bowes and Anti Voulas, with good back up from Jye Etheridge and Jacob Hook. As for Glasgow the just couldn’t get out of the gate, Kyle Howarth was always there or thereabouts in his 5 races resulting in winning ht15 and spoiling the two home riders maximum hopes. It'll have been said before but sure this venue would benefit from floodlights and have evening meetings under lights where the moisture will start coming up naturally rather than battling with the heat and wind during the afternoon meetings, but it’s a track I’ll come back to again

First time seeing Vilads Nagel live last night, very impressive, looked fast all night, great style to go with it too

Hopefully people don’t expect too much from Will Cairns it’s a massive step from NDL racing coming into the Premiership even if it’s only the one guest appearance. He made competitive debut for Zielona Gora on Tuesday in U24 league and scored 0 from his 5 rides, so that should put things into a little perspective

Seems an age since the last home match v Ipswich, might have to programme the sat nav in to get me there! 😁 Hopefully some good racing and a home win to come away with the 3 points on offer

I’d say the two guests make us slightly stronger at Birmingham, just need a similar performance to last Thursday

Not been on BSF for quite a bit but have to say there was some really good racing from the off last night at Foxhall. The Sheffield lads looked a lot more on it after a couple of below par performances and unlucky to come away with no league or bonus points

Just seen on Bend2BarmyArmy FB page that Dan Gilkes suffered a broken wrist last night, so looks like a new Rising Star needed, Ace Pjiper, Ashton Boughen, Jason Edwards??

They hit the fence with a right ‘thump’ in front of where us Sheffield fans were standing on back straight, poor Dan sounded in a lot of discomfort before he was seen too by St. John’s and taken off in ambulance. His sister and grandad obviously left to help sort his stuff out before going to hospital, fingers crossed it’s not too bad an injury and he’s back on the bike soon

Dan T is Sheffield’s number 8

Who can take the R/R rides for Kyle ?
