  1. Wow so much passing tonight, think there may be more in the first two heats at the EWR tomorrow.
  2. No passing at EWR this must be a wind up justere2cgoodspeedway? Even the die hard Glasgow true fans, know the EWR is renowned for being the best passing track in the country for real racers. . Contemplating coming up to Ashfield, but the long range weather forecast looks a bit doubtful, however plenty of time to change yet .
  3. Plenty of students at John Legget studying Media or Photography that maybe might appeal to?
  4. PA system facing towards the stand just after the start tapes is poor,yet those in the carpark are great! Middle of the centre green- whoever is using the microphone, needs a sports mike shield to protect from the wind roar, as most times interviews are inaudible. Can the box and centre green man, talk to each other to cut the music during interviews also.
  5. Was going to drive but weather looks a bit suspect. Some good guests for us so result could go either way.
  6. Anyway, back to the Scorpion thread. Were the Witches that bad I don't think so, but expected more from King and Covatti. At last the Scorpions looked hungry and gating well, 6 out of the 7 getting at least one confidence boosting heat win. Hope we can now kick on, get firing on all cylinders, have some consistency, keep injury free and move quickly up the table.
  7. Congrats to the Bandits. As for the Scorpions apart from Ryan who put in a good effort and young Josh doing what is expected of him ,the remainder of the team are in turmoil Big Josh not doing what we know he can and looks under powered. Andreas , early days but on a 7 average can't see him anywhere near that so far. MPT knows the track backwards and can do much better. Alex, a real worry and major form loss, days could be numbered. Wilko, at reserve, should get shed load of points every week ,but so inconsistent. Presume Rob was as gutted with the display as the crowd were since he disappeared again from the centre green mid match? Nobody even bothered to give us the raffle draw result??? Highlight of the match was watching Dumb and Dumber Start Marshalls - white liners of the year!!!
  8. MPT is in attendance most weeks, now often seen pushing a pram.
  9. Been watching the Scopions/Stags since the Ashby Ville days and to say this team is lack lustre is an under statement. Last year I too went to Glasgow, to watch our relatively strong team get beaten by the Tigers. This year no way was I going to drive 5 hours each way, to witness a severe drubbing that was always on the cards. Holub-- bad signing, Lyager weak again-( if it happens) and the rest so inconsistent. Speedway is all about preparation ,skill and confidence and the current Scorpion set up is sadly lacking in all areas. We need a big hitter soon, or crowds will dwindle to just the usual hard core couple of hundred. It will be interesting to see what positive spin the two Robs can put on this inept performance.
  10. Apparently Sky stopped anyone from filming the live action according to Sheffield management???
  11. I'd rather see us winning, so Andre Compton is a much better bet in that respect. Hope everyone in the team whoever they are, has an injury free season, that is the key to being top of the table.
  12. Glasgow Scunthorpe Workington Rye House Peterborough Plymouth Edinburgh Ipswich Berwick Sheffield Somerset Newcastle Redcar
  13. Keep writing us off boys and girls ,last time you all did that we won the league.
  14. Good news, just hope SSI closure does not kill off large percentage of crowd base. Good luck, Scunthorpe are not safe yet in either Speedway terms, or Steelmaking.
  15. Damned if you do, or damned if you don't call off early. With no reserves and SUFC playing too it made good sense.
  16. Another guest not doing it for us costs us the points.
  17. Fine,dry and hardly any wind-perfect track conditions for tonight.
  18. Josh coming from the back is great to watch, if he could gate consistently he would just clear off into the distance. I know which I prefer to watch- as long as he doesn't give them all too much of a start.
  19. Could not attend today due to work commitments, but could see this banana skin coming up a mile off. Every time the Promotion and riders big themselves up they have to eat their words. Well done Tigers and well done our own team of two again, the rest, I presume they stayed back for a long practise session!!! Mistake in letting MPT slip through the net in my opinion.
  20. Le Mans style would be a good spectacle. Riders line up opposite bikes, run over to bike, mechanic gives a shove and away they go... maybe
