  1. as i said before,first base is to win your home meetings,that is what ensures the income to keep a speedway club running,its basic ecconomics
  2. didnt we win the payoffs with Josh in the team once? first base for any season,,,,,win your home meetings
  3. with Scunny now being run slick,is there any point in Grading the track if theres nothing on it? also,a point worth mentioning,if friday night was only the second time the track has been graded this season,then they should delfinatly not grade it,as the racing this year has been on the whole very good the meeting against the Sheffield the previous week was excellent,yet i never saw a tractor come out once
  4. to be fair to Howarth,theres alot of folk that need a fix before they go to Armadale.....
  5. if you stop going to a track due to one average meeting,may i ask which track you actually visit?
  6. Firstly best wishes to Zaine Kennedy,if he got away with that hes a lucky lucky kid what a fanastic meeting,scoreline doesnt really show how close the racing was and both teams having a go Auty was simply outstanding and i just hope he never learns to gate, Got to give credit to Howarth,he didnt put a food wrong all night but didnt get the points he deserved,he just happened to come up against Auty 3 times
  7. you are 100% correct in what you say but the lad needs to learn to adapt to track conditions,flailing around the outside on Friday was a waste of time,The lad needs to learn to use other parts of a race trace and he will become a tidy rider in this league on the whole hes had a decent start to the season though to be be fair,hes down what is expected
  8. it can`t have held it up that much,i was home with my feet up by 9pm
  9. he was very good,done alot of laps around scunny to be fair but made it count when he needed to,made some of the home riders look poor to to be honest
  10. First, congratulations on a fine team performance from the Rebels,rode very inteligent lines to either keep in front or make the passes,a fine performance and never looked like loosing the meeting from heat 2 onwards Auty again a class act for Scumthorpe,the rest were simply not good or smart enough--simple as that on the ref,never have i seen a more shocking performace in speedway,some absolute howlers all night,i can understand the odd mistake by a ref,that happen,s but to make shocking decisions all night ,that i can`t accept more concerning from a club point of view was folk leaving early,never a good sign
  11. maybe he got the `wolberts`` from a fast food place,who knows
  12. sometimes though dragging the dirt back has the reverse affect and you end up with marbles on a hard surface which gains nothing at all The EWR is wide enough i think to let lines develop,sometimes track grading grades the life out of a track
  13. sad thing is if your wish of Chapman getting his fingers burnt comes true,then its highly likely that the Mighty panthers will be gone forever sometimes you have to be becarefull what you wish for
  14. sad to say that is what speedway seems to be about these days Seems this year the Lions will be there or thereabouts come end of the season,will take some beating over two legs in a playoff situation if they can all stay fit
  15. looking at that kid and his lap times its a year to late never mind early
  16. Decent meeting and a fair result.the home win was never really in doubt the the visitors battled away to keep the meeting close,and have to be favourites to progress through to the next round some entertaining racing and good effort from both sides,again track prepped smoth and consistant done and dusted quickly ,which was good as that dam east wind had a bite to it big bonus-------never saw a tractor all night Perfect!
  17. which is the same with any family whos kids start out in motorsport,with a 10year old who loves Motorcross i have first had experience of this££££££££££££££ and more££££££££££
  18. he has some form of patrality i believe so it doesnt matter
  19. yet reading the press release it was done after discusions with his father,hes still staying around Scunthorpe,will travel with the team to gain experience etc seems to me to be a amicable situation that all are happy with,and thats how it should be
  20. one could argue we dropped one rider,your lot dropped 7 riders,
  21. i dont ride the bike,but talking to alot of riders they all seemed to say it was smoth and consistant other than that im wrong to comment,i just watch
  22. i think i heard at Sheff last week that the work being carried out at Owlerton will be complete by early August and what a stadium it will be then
  23. you would imagine tho cold and damp is ideal conditions for track prep normally they moan about it being hot and dry
  24. Thats exactly how speedway should be,to much HTA is half of what is wrong with speedway i dont care really if a track is slick or grippy,as long as its smooth and consistant,then riders can have a go thats how speedway should be
  25. An excellent meeting last night ,some fantastic racing from both sides on a well prepared track just shows what entertainment most riders can produce when given a track to race on, well done to both teams
