p.s I will be going!

yes im going, now i just need to talk my nephew into going, trouble is he finds most sports boring:loopy: :huh:

depend on the weather if i go:(

1) Jason Crump
2) Simon Stead
3) Nicki Pedersen

See if I am right czechroman what do you think.

Don't be late the back straight is open. You can get wet if it rains.

well i dnt think i can predict winner, im not bothered about getting wet, just the track could ruin this meeting:(

yeah, we want it to be dry for this.
although last time i saw nicki pederson ride around owlerton was at a really wet northern riders meeting, and that wasn't too bad.

i'd predict

1st jason crump
2nd nicki pederson
3rd undecided really, i hope sean wilson can get on the rostrum, or simon stead

Bit early in the year for a promising meeting like this. It deserves a slot later in the summer when the weather should be better.
Good luck to Sean Wilson, he has done Sheffield proud!!!

yeah its way to early, they should run it on a nice warm sunday afternoon in the summer, like v hull other year, i just knew it wouldnt be a good idea to have this so early on, :(

im sure the thinking behind having it early was to entice as many top riders as possible, which it has.
to have it early meant the top riders wouldn't be riding away at grand prix or abroad yet, plus it's a good practice meeting for them, to get sorted for the upcoming season.

you have to admit, in our country, even having this in the summer would be no guarantee of fine dry weather.
look how much dry weather we've had upto this point, it's just sods law that we'd hit a wet spell at this time:(

Paul Hudson on Look North has forecast snow for Sat/Sun. I hope he's wrong.

I've watched weather forecast on Sky this morning, it's not looking good. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the snow comes later, much later!

rain off written all over it - also watch the superstars pull out one by one...

Well it's finally been called off. Put back to next sunday will give chance for Billy Hammill to get over here and compete.

it's an even stronger line up now for the restaging, lets hope we get some dry weather this time

i can't wait for this, hope the weather stays fine

Well, looking OK so far and the forecasts are moving towards light rain staying off until this evening.

should be good tonight.

I had to take my son to the NHS walk in @RHH earlier and was suprised how damp it was around there - where I am (Hackenthorpe) it's been quite bright most of the day apart from a very slight drizzle about 1pm.

Looks pretty fine on this webcam (http://sccplugins.sheffield.gov.uk/utc/cam15.htm) atm anyway.

I haven't been to Owlerton for some time so I am taking the kids to see it - we usually go to meetings only when we're on holiday lol.

super speedway, nikki pedersen was great, and crumpy was too, super speedway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

One of the best meetings I have seen for some time - once the track had got a couple of races on it anyway.

Ht8 when Adams pushed back passed Pedersen for 2nd place was esp. good ( and I'm a Pederden fan - love the controversy) as were several others.

That was the 1st time I have seen Kyle Legault - I was quite impressed with his style and he didn't seem phased by the company he was racing at all.

yeah he rode well good experience, johno a former tiger oh dear:rolleyes: , and havvy sticks to line like glue!

yeah, some superb racing by quality riders, like you said, heat 8 was a corker, leigh getting passed, then coming back under nicki to take it on the line:cool:
