Sheffield - for sale


Recommended Posts

His Excellency (you have to say that loads of times if your Hearn or Warren!) Turki Al-Sheikh could be interested in Speedway.  Someone at Sheffield should get in contact with him on social media and find out. Could end up with Speedway in Saudi Arabia!  Could hold a GP over there.

Sand racing would be better. At least no rain offs with flooded tracks

Owlerton is quite narrow but with long straights. Always compared it to Kingsmead. 

Guess on the high revving laydowns - you get it wrong and you will rapidly run out of room. 

Owlerton is practically D shaped,no long straits there.

Well you were a co director at Brum so would have more of an idea than most of us 🫠, the rumour has been around for a few months now and he is good friends with Drillerman, my only surprise is that a deal has not already been done, which throws a little doubt as to why hats have not been doffed already, unless it's because Mrs Tophat  prefers him to take a year out.

In my opinion if Mr Tophat did take it over don’t have Mr Roger’s involvement in it because it will close end of season with him running things So my message being get rid  run it yourself then speedway will stay

I'd be wary of this! Utd (Blades) seemed to be the only Saudi prince owned club with no money 😁

The moment they got into the Prem the other season the club was put up for sale

Really hope a new promoter is found etc - having looked at the Sheffield accounts they do seem to lose money over time (unless i have misread them) so someone with a few quid is needed.
