Forget all the Glasgow internal disputes perhaps the Scorpions just rode well and had a good win!

Weather today, tomorrow and Sunday looks dubious. I can see this one rained off, or "spongy track"

No Jordan Palin is.

Well as predicted on page one, the afternoon track was bare and dusty, I think half of the track is in my hair. Feel like we threw a few potential points away on a track that the blast around the outside was just not working again. Please Rob refrain from afternoon fixtures the track is never as good as usual evening starts. From the programme notes, there is an indication that Aarnio is on borrowed time after letting us down again???

Why a 5pm start when the track will be difficult to keep the moisture in? Much better to keep the usual 7.30pm tapes up.

Had to do something for the crowd to watch whilst ref was called to pits due to Worrall's handbags with Aarnio

Rob only grades it once per meeting ,sometimes not at all, so the track just evolves naturally.

Jeez ,let's flog a call off to death. 1) Crappy weather forecast for evening. 2) Power supply issues. 3 Hole in road is just off the public highway B1430, some 200yds from the EWR . The EWR can be seen in the background of the Twitter photo, but the land in between is private land which Rob has no influence of. Clearly contractors doing repairs with their tape and fencing around hole. Google maps is useful. 4) Some people just want to make waves for Rob Godfrey. I cannot see many promotors wanting to take up the poisoned chalice of Chairman/Chairwoman post. 5) Some people you just cannot help, even when you give valid info. 6) Track had from 10.15pm until the following morning to dry out for the next meeting. 7 R.G runs the country, Boris and Rishi are doing a good job, the illegals crossing the Channel are welcome, inflation is a blip and Putin is misunderstood!!!

National weather forecast was showers, local weather forecast was showers, club made early call off , what more information do these prats want??? If you want to travel long distances with a dubious forecast, you take that risk, if you want to ignore the information put out in good time, then you reap what you sow end of!!!

Take it from a local it was very wet!!!

Two miles from the track and it was a steady drizzle from 7.30pm onwards , with a deluge at 8.50pm. So weather forecast was correct, early call off correct and if you can't be bothered to check websites before travelling boo hoo!

Is that Keegan re signing for the Iron, or replacing the injured Kinsley for the Scorpions?

Anyone know how Ryan Douglas is re his neck injury when riding in Poland? Will he be fit for Friday ,or who are potential guests for us?

Which Scorpion team will turn up today, will we have more than 4 riders making a significant points tally???

Some big hitters in the Plymouth line up, this could be a difficult match. MPT, Ben Barker and Gilkes know the track well, throw in the very capable Lawson and Anderson and a very strong line up. Scorpions need to start well ,with all 7 making good contributions to keep the 3 points at the EWR. To any travelling fans ,wrap up well as every match this season has been Baltic with the wind in the NE.

If MPT is back for Friday and Lawson is guesting, then Plymouth look very strong opposition at the EWR. Quite ironic that Lambo, Palin and Kinsley probably had more laps around the Gladiators track in the past, but scored so few points.

Yes, not going to improve and poor away too.

Agree, the easier on paper teams look, the more we seem to make hard work of. Hopefully no potential banana skin and we kick on from last Friday.

Yes, noticed that one too, don't know who the wit in the box was.

I think you will find Jake and Rob are still best of mates.

Hope Rob has junked that damn speaker near the start line, that's been a joke for the last 4 years at least. Lots of unhappy fans around us, sort it for Friday please!

Agreed, and Jordan not tearing any trees up tonight either. All our riders need to bring their A game tomorrow.

Well the Iron are down, so we might pick up some fans from the Donny Road

Has Rob got our team doing some laps on Friday or over the weekend as some seem to be well rusty ( Ryan Douglas is of course excused )???

Doesn't seem to like many away tracks apart from Peterborough. If he gates he's ok ,if he doesn't its woeful.
