Sheffield v Leicester 21/8/25


Recommended Posts

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Josh Pickering, Nick Morris, Chris Holder, Jye Etheridge, Leon Flint.
LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson
 

Anything other than a home win would be a disaster for Sheffield morale wise going into the play offs. Leicester have beaten us twice already round Owlerton. last visit Kerr and Sedgmen scored a shocking 1 between them, and in my opinion were rightly replaced with Morris and Etheridge. Kemp and Thompson scored paid 12, they’ll do well to do the same tomorrow. 

Becker back in the team makes Leicester weaker as an away team but still are the form team for me going into the play offs. 
 

Sheffield to win 50-40. If the tracks as good as the BV meeting should be some good racing

Planning to be there for this one - Leicester certainly do well at Owlerton of late so should be a good meeting - I think the Tigers will break the Leicester thing this time and claim a win about 47/43 or 48/42

Lions will push it close I reckon. 47-43 either way

I think that's what's called "hedging your bets" 🤣

This tie is quite interesting. Both sides have something to prove and there is a fair chance they'll meet in the semis (or the final!?). Can't see Sheffield doing anything but being on top form, but Leicester just don't seem know when they're beaten at the moment. So it could be close. But not to sit on the fence, I think it'll be around a 48-42 win for the home side.

I can only see this as a Sheffield win and no doubt if it is it will be all down to the Manager, rather than his riders.

In my opinion Sheffield have been a successful side for the last 4-5 seasons despite their Manager, rather than because of their Manager, who frankly at times appears clueless when interviewed.

It's odd isn't it? Simon nearly always looks miserable on TV and at times has that "rabbit in the headlights" look. But he came to the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club meeting a while back and he was a completely different person. Chatty, friendly, he even smiled a few times. I must admit, I changed my view of him that evening.

I note you didn't say informed.
