89buttons Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM I’d be surprised if it’s not picko back at Sheffield tbh, etheridge isn’t exactly a huge trump card on a 3 point average and there’s a good few riders in the 6-7 point average range still unattached who would allow a stronger no.6 would seem a strange strategy to me run with a 3 point number 6 to just allow enough for picko to fit and then not use him - unless there’s a similar average rider available who would come a bit cheaper that they think can outperform him? But I can’t see who that would be? Also wasn’t he quoted in the speedway star earlier this winter as saying Scunthorpe are aware that if it ends up being one big league he’d be pulling out and riding for Sheffield?

ouch Posted yesterday at 10:16 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:16 AM 5 hours ago, Manifesto said: No he’s not quite on the level of Kurtz, Holder, Bewley Fricke but he isn’t far behind. He’s an exciting rider to watch and anyone prem team would have him Any team would welcome him as a great all rounder. In the same bracket as Jaimon and Doyle who have similar home, away and overall averages. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2025-rider-statistics/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying times for sheffield now I guess that means there'll be another "for sale" sign going up at Owlerton at the end of season '26 (if not before). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldPitGate Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Does anyone know why the investors pulled out ? Given all the problems/loss of revenue/lack of teams with the top flight going into 2026, I would have imagined the only people interested would have to be massive fans of the sport who would shrug off losing 50-100k. I don't think the Bates are short of a few quid I guess it just comes down how much there willing to loose on the club in 2026 compared to previous years.

Sponsorship deal with Guy Nicholls ended last season. Not heard of a new deal with him is in place so could be new main sponsors at Sheffield, AB Race Cruisers/AutoCraft?

SteveLyric2 Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago Did the Bates' not say that their reasons for 'stepping away' originally were due to the pressure of other work issues, and that the Tigers were in a 'healthy financial position'?
