SHEFFIELD TIGERS
Sheffield Tigers Speedway is based at the Owlerton Stadium on Penistone Road in South
Yorkshire and they currently compete in the Premier League. They are led by President Reg
Wilson with Joe Screen working as the Team Manager and they are looking to progress
under their guidance.

One of the major
positives this
year was the

Simon Stead.
They have put together a history of which they
have every right to be proud and one of their
most successful seasons came in 1999 when
they managed to win the treble. This treble
included the Four Teams Championship,
the League and the Young Shield and was
a tremendous achievement for everyone
involved.

This was one of the most successful periodsof
in the team’s history and they claimed another
treble in 2002, winning the League, the Young
Shield and the Knock out cup. The current
group of riders will be keen to add to these
successes over the coming years.
It would be fair to say that 2014 did not perhaps
go the way that they would have liked as they
put together a record of 9 wins, 1 draw and 18
defeats from their 28 fixtures. This saw them
finish near the bottom of the table with 25
points on the board.

They will be keen for an improved performance
next year and so long as they are able to
retain their top riders they should have a good
chance of doing so. It will certainly be exciting
to see how they are able to get on.

One of the major positives this year was the
performances of hometown hero Simon Stead
who claimed the Premier League Riders’
Championship in front of his home crowd.
Speaking after the success, Stead said, “It’s
been amazing day. I’ve got lots of friends and
sponsors here, not to mention my family and
all the supporters of Sheffield speedway so
this is for them.
I’m a little bit lost for words, it just means so
much. Thanks to everyone for their support,
especially the Sheffield fans for their backing
all year.”
