Well done Pirates, your four heat leaders just so strong. I suggest whoever is tuning the Pirates engines the Scorpions seek out and use their services. On several occasions we were doing the hard work to gain advantage on the bends, just for the Pirates to breeze past on the straights. A lacklustre performance by the Scorpions and maybe the kick up the backside they needed before the Oxford encounters.

Just watched the stream and disappointed all races were won by the 2nd bend exit. Thankfully I see far more passing at the EWR every week.

Just a reminder folks, its a 7.00pm start and a double header.

Cab Direct Championship takes priority to get all the league fixtures completed.

Well done Scorpions a solid team performance. Nine point lead to take back to the EWR fortress for the 2nd leg.

It is on Monarch's stream, EMTV.

Not much interest in this one so it seems? Both sides with normal 1 to 7s. With Glasgow rained off and winds blowing rain clouds towards Edinburgh, will it go ahead? Hoping for the Scorpions to steal a win ,or at least keep it close, so we can win the 2nd leg.

Our stand in manager was mad giving Lambert heat 15, it should have been Nathan, or Jake instead. Last two meeting Lambert has failed to score in heat 15.

You would be sober at the EWR then, as we let the track develop and only grade during a track watering Saves Rob on fuel bills too!

Speakers in car park are great, perhaps we should all run out there to listen to scores and interviews between races. As above poster said, we have put up with poor P.A.system for years, both outside and in the after meeting presentation.

Can the club sort out the P.A. system as it is awful ,especially the one facing the stand after the start finish. Can the announcer, the result announcer and the DJ also have some system between them so they are not playing music and trying to talk over one another. On a positive ,the scoreboard and count down are working well. Rant over.

Gino was a liability riding for us and his head was not always in the right place.

They can all redeem themselves tonight after the dire performance at Poole. Just beat Workington convincingly, take the bonus and we can try and forget midweek.

Pity the train driver for someone walking on the track and the driver being traumatised through no fault of his own

No guests available ,or Rob saving money? Prove me wrong, but I despair sometimes and question club's ambition with Rider Replacement on away trips.

Defo not , but you could be a crash test dummy.

It is a general comment, that older bones are more prone to fracture and its a fact take longer to heal, but you see every comment as cannon fodder.

We all know Speedway riders are tough, but there comes a point after loads of falls, fractures etc, that the body is more prone to failing. Best wishes to Rory ,but age and quick healing are not on his side.

Back to the match, even without Rory's injury, Berwick were sadly lacking. Kerr was fine and Kemp did ok but, the remainder were dire. Gilkes is off form , Hume had a poor one and Starke spent too much time on his rear. For us another, very solid performance all around.

Could be close with Kerr, Kemp and Gilkes being track specialists and Rory been around long enough to know the track well.

RR is ok until someone gets injured, then it leaves the teams very exposed.

Redcar's new signing and the on form guest make them much stronger. Scorpions need to be on it and continue their form from the last meeting.

Carlos obviously had keyhole surgery with a significantly reduced recovery time. If Celina had open surgery, recovery time is so much longer, I can personally vouch for this.

Pity about the riders and fans who were 100's of miles enroute, before the late call off.

Really? I go every meeting and thought the crowd was poor. Perhaps some thought an 18 point deficit was not going to happen and saved their money not attending. For me, it was so enjoyable watching everyone perform, I bought the stream to watch it a day later.
