Sheffield Tigers speedway: Tigers face changed Peterborough side as Chris Harris returns for visitors
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The TruPlant Tigers find themselves on another positive run of form at Owlerton and head into the clash against the Panthers on the back of an impressive 54-36 victory of a solid Leicester Lions side last week.
Thursday night (August 17, 7.30pm) gives the South Yorkshire men the opportunity to move back to within one point of the play-off places.

"They’ve now got 'Bomber' (Chris Harris) in at number one, Vadim Tarasenko will be looking forward to riding our track in drier conditions than the last time the Panthers came to town and in Niels (Kristian Iversen), Ben Cook and Benjamin Basso they’ve got a very capable middle order as well," Stead said.
"Their new signing Patryk Wojdylo shot into form in their home meeting against Ipswich last week and Jordan Jenkins down at reserve has come on leaps and bounds once again this season.
"So Peterborough have got what it takes to give us a good run for our money – but as ever, as long as all the lads apply themselves correctly and ride how we all know they can, then you know I’d back them against anyone.
