  1. having said that....Medically and Physically are 2 different 'conditions' !?
  2. Nothing been mentioned ? might just have to refer to speedway updates ?
  3. I can't imagine he'll be 100% after a back injury? I think it's a gamble especially with it being his first meeting back? (no pun intended) Having said that.....he seems the type to give it everything regardless......if he is fit, I think we'll win this one 48-42!?
  4. Barker would've fitted perfectly......Berwick are one step ahead on this one....I'll take a guess at Ellis Perks will being our guest (if needed?)
  5. I don't think Garrity will be riding, so a suitable guest may be the deciding factor?
  6. On decent machinery, that boy has/had the potential to be something special ! Would be great to see him back in our colours ? : )
  7. A decent meeting spoilt by some top-hat in the control box (Dave Watters Referee) playing god with the start button??? I lost count of the re-runs due to his appetite/desire to be star of the show....'so frustrating, especially on a blustery/rain soaked evening'! These incompetent officials need addressing! I thought it was a fair result, although I'm disappointed that we didn't win it! Imo.....Tero and Tobias got us the draw, coupled with some great team riding from Ellis and Paco lost us the win! (I can only think that Paco is trying to keep his average down for next season?) Tom Perry worked extremely hard for all his points......Agertoft may be another 'average manipulator' ? he was woeful! One other point of interest, which may have cost us a last heat 4-2 ? Why on earth did Ellis/Tero choose gates 1-3 in the final heat ??? Previously....10 of the 14 heat wins/advantages had come from gates 2-4??? also, knowing that gate 4, outside track specialist and unbeaten, Barker was in the heat ??? I honestly for the life of me cant work that one out??? Tero was sensational in the last heat …..and it was arguably the best ride from a B'ham rider that I've witnessed this season !!!
  8. I don't think i'd bother going if we dropped down...the NL does nothing for me !? I've loved our first season in the Championship regardless of our league position!
  9. I'm a bit bored at work, so thought I'd make a comment.... Not sure if Scunthorpe can reach the play-offs ? but it would be an achievement for us if we can avoid the 'wooden spoon' ? Failing that, I can only envisage 2 teams going through the motions and trying to avoid injury through the off season? (may be apart from Garrity and Barker ? ) I'd of definitely added Danny Ayres to that list if he was available.....'big loss' not just from a Scunthorpe perspective, but a general all round 'entertainment' point of view!
  10. errr??? Don't park there next time ? Sorry....just joking. I'm sure somebody will be able to help. I've never parked there and never would! I've always advised 'visitors' to aim for street parking which is free and closer to the track!
  11. And that's why he'll never be replaced as Team Manager !
  12. Meeting is 'OFF' ! P.s Well done to the owners for a 'common sense' decision!
  13. Having said that? I've just seen the weather forecast???
  14. If Perks rides as he did last week, we'll sort the Bandits out.....'no problem'!
  15. Jason getting a lot of unfair stick imo…..we love him at Brum and if there's a rider out there that tries to win every race, regardless of the importance/result, then it's definitely him! Which is a lot more than can be said of some speedway riders, who just go through the motions, or protect an average etc...…. Give me a team of 'Garritys' any day!
  16. I think B'ham need a 'skilled' track curator since 'Terry' has left ? may be you could open discussions with them? ( genuine suggestion...)
  17. Well done to Leicester they look a solid side! Scott Nicholls is still one of the best English riders in the country imo..... Obviously Leicester were far superior than us, but you definitely could see that they had something to race for, whereas we were just going through the motions! Ellis was crap! Jason had bike troubles but still produced the most exciting passes of the night (along with Nicholls's move on Ellis) Paco needs to try the outside and stop being too fair (as previously mentioned) Arnio had his best meeting so far...great when he gates but crap when he doesn't!! Agertoft is improving....did well to win Heat 2 (bike troubles after that by looks of it?) Coles did well to keep up with their reserves considering his lack of meetings. He has potential. As for the manager? sorry, but CLUELESS yet again imo.....I'm too frustrated to go in to it? but the Tac Sub was used at the wrong time in the wrong heat! Not that it would've made much difference at any other time of the evening! The track appeared a lot smoother but still something not quite right.....you certainly can't tell that we've had some new shale put on it?
  18. The manager will hopefully swap the reserves around tonight in certain races, so that Agertoft competes against a Leicester reserve in ALL of his rides!? Coles will have no chance of beating either Leicester reserve, so stick him in all the hard races with nothing to lose!
  19. If I was coming from Leicester, I wouldn't touch the M6 between Juncts 5 - 7! It can be a nightmare. I'd get off at Junction 5 and take the Tyburn Rd to Witton....head for Witton Cemetery and your 5 mins away from there! Park on Holford Drive (free) practically opposite the stadium. That's my opinion/advice!
  20. Our reserves will need to step up their game tonight....Lawlor and Mountain ride PB extremely well!
  21. Agertoft at reserve and R/R for James : ( (hope he recovers without any long term effects)
