  1. if you read robs statement or davids comments in the speedway star david wasnt expected to ride again this season,so rob built a new team, he want dropped or surplus to requirements,or released, we cant wait for him to decide if he ready or not. even when glasgow first rang him he said he wasnt sure if his shoulder was upto it, if he had said yes the first time i dont think tis would all kick off, its just ironic timing, also the only reason you were entitled to use a guest was because of stuart robson doing the same for coventry, david may of signed for glasgow but who is he an asset of? wolves or scunny?,,,, anyways rob helped your wishes and got nothing, if we beat newcastle it would make the next round that more spicy.
  2. life is about doing favours for each other.... glasgow wanted david howe.... rob said "ok no problem, if you want him this is what i want in return, please dont use a quest on friday"... rob felt let down by a promotion maybe new to speedway? dont know who the new owners are, dont care really, i agree nothing illegal has happened, its just the backing down on a verbal agreement(if there was one) thats upset him, if you lot really wanted to field the best team on friday, then you must of been scared of getting beat.... and if deals are broken then other teams may run scared of helping glasgow in the future.
  3. tell it how it is.... as in .. speak his mind,maybe why refs fine him so much
  4. sorry gaz that wasnt meant specifically to you, i was speaking generally, like i said we believe rob and glasgow will believe your management,to be fair maybe it should of been kept between then selves, but like i said, rob will tell it how it is...
  5. if rob himself repeated on here what he told us, would you still deny there was a gentlemans agreement?,,, obviously yes, because us scunny fans will believe rob, you glasgow fans will be on the side of glasgows.... if you know rob then you know he will tell you straight what he thinks of things, swearing at the ref, our riders not riding the track he prepared for them. , what i heard was that davids signing was based on glasgow not going with a guest, but r/r , they agreed then when signed they went back on the "agreement" .. i wish the meeting was videoed then people could hear what he said (unless it got edited out)..didnt rob request a song from barry when the meeting was getting started? sorry i posted when rob was typing then saw he had posted.... sorry rob
  6. it was your post earlier gaz... "i didnt hear what rob was saying" what i meant about quesing
  7. its the "gentlemans agreement" that got broke thats rattled rob.. to me if someone didnt hear what he said then he or she shouldnt second quess what was said. i believe rob knew that glasgow were planning to use a guest but asked for a favour by saying they could david this week instead of after the match, a gentlemans agreement was agreed last week with lakeside regarding ben barker and ashley birks i believe, its not about what "scunny have done it before", its about promoters talking deals over the phone, and thinking you have people who you can trust, of course glasgow were in the right to use a guest as the bspa granted the facility, did the mangemaent go back on their word as i dont think david would have been with glasgow last night if they hadnt agreed..... could someone explain why berge did hand gestures to the crowd coming off bend 4 please?
  8. i didnt think rob said that david wouldnt go to glasgow.... he said "he didnt expect david to ride again this year", then he heard that he wanted to go to glasgow and it was ironic that it was scunny on friday, so he gave permission for dave to go on loan as he had to problem with david wanting to ride again but asked (i quess the manager) that if i lend you him please dont use a quest for sarjeant," so for rob to ok davids move glasgow must of done a gentlemans agreement which they have backed out of? hence the "win at all costs" i also think that sarjeant was missing because he was doubling up, he wasnt missing got he got injured as he would of been missing any way, with the summers incident at the tapes... seemed to me that he did delay the start because his bike stopped, he was the primary cause of the stoppage ,if his bike hadnt packed up then everthings hunky dory, the ref put the red lights on to halt the start? , maybe to stop all the riders revving up etc?
  9. would r/r scored as many as covatti? i doubt it as someone said to me ,david howe and the reserves would be allowed as r/r..feel sorry for NIke, he looked really fast getting 2 race wins to start off, joked about him getting 18 points, guess i put the mockers on him..... he did a wheelie to celebrate his 2nd win and fell off the back, totalling his bike and i think his 2nd one too, it went hurdling the fences in heat 11.it was an entertaining but in incidents... like the first poster stated....also who is to blame for the quest? glasgow for using him or the bspa for allowing? rob said his wasnt happy with the win at all cost glasgow,
  10. i worry if the fans dont go for this meeting then they wont return full stop, unless we get to the play off final, then it will be too late. to some the results matter most even though almost all the matches so far have been entertaining...... cue the " i pay to watch a winning team" i know we lost some fans because of thomas and ash going but we have a cracking set of lads riding and all of them wanted to ride for us so we should get behind them, they will appreciate the support and every rider there loves scunny and the people, rob WILL close speedway if the crowds continue as they are, its not just sustainable at this level
  11. wasnt "proper second halfs" the fastest riders and 2nd fastest competing in a mini match, hence why times are written down, ? and young up and coming riders having a spin?
  12. ben barker to guest for us again tomorrow,and whenever he can, except next friday when he rides for berwick, no ryan or alex so its r/r and another quest,..... i must say the crowd was very very poor, hoping its just because its was a cup match or maybe because we rode against newcastle before.. a la sheffield last year,im hoping its not because of the results,(which i fear it is,, im thinking that "fans" stayed away and monitored the scores on updates etc and wil lthink "yep we won, ill go back on friday". to me and others i stand with the result dosent matter as long as we try, and the racing is top notch, which most on here have said it is every week, the die hard fans go each week but week by week they disappear and when that happens we end up with what we had on friday, which is unsustaintable for the club, and they are ruining it for the ones who go to be entertained and dont want to lose it again,im quessing the ones who stay away dont realise the costs in runing a club or dont care if it closes.
  13. ben barker should score well around plymouth, if he dosent get 12 or 15 then somethings wrong
  14. if we were getting sheffield riders why dont we get garrity? is he riding elsewhere or dosent he fit in?
  15. Ben Barker guests on friday at somerset
  16. i was told last night by some there he maybe concussed, thats why i asked,,, nicolai tweeted why he didnt get a whip round when his engine blew..stop being personal in your posts montie and nitpicking everything i said. the big clue was in IF alex is concussed, IF its a head injury he may have to take a rest . all i asked.. you know what? shove this forum up ya......
  17. hows does using matt willy give us an advantage? no offense to matt, i think we should be asking why cradley used ellis when he was down as injured for scunny, is it because it 2 different teams? did ellis use cradley as a test to see if his knee was ok and if he came through ok then he would return tonight?
  18. didnt think scunny would get a result, so well done lads, we will get stronger
  19. rumour has it that another bucket collection will be held on the 15th, this time in aid of robs £400 fine from the ref ....
  20. so what about the one that says hes reserve from today? im not arguing but i quess the bspa have sorted the averages out not scunny speedway? i dont understand it as well, i suppose the last one should read...4.17 and then 6 plus?
