It's a bit wet this morning

Totally agree , the racing has been brilliant this season and although we sit proudly at the top of the league , we're not hammering teams at Ashfield . Every meeting , apart from Birmingham and Edinburgh , has been close battles . I'm just hoping our new number 2 was riding poor equipment last night as he looked very slow . But 4 wins in the space of 7 days , life is good

Late start for a thread for this important meeting, 5 points clear at the top should we win it . What a week it's been already with wins at Scunny and Somerset since we were last here . Be a toughy tonight as we only scraped through by 2 points against the Bears when they knocked us out the cup on aggregate. So we need to be on it from the start . Ex-bear Mikkel B Andersen makes his debut for us , good luck agent Sarj at the dump , while the newly crowned British Champion , Charles Wright, heads the opposition . Going to be quite a meeting

Thought you couldn't do that , ride on the same track for the two away sides in the space of a week

Thanks to the Somerset fans who made us really welcome and to Dave Thompson for letting us out onto the centre green for the last three heats . Everyone was very sporting in defeat and not one person mentioned dodgy fuel lol . Tonight was a joy , some fantastic racing and in the company of some wonderful people . I love coming to Somerset

One word ...... Rasser

Will we need taccy subs ?????

Claus ( ex Rebel but inconsistent) , Sarj ( unreliable) and both reserves can take Starky's rides . Claus will be heat 14 in all likelihood . I'm confident our reserves will score against Somerset's, but not taking Starke's . But the most important thing is that it stays dry and we enjoy an exciting meeting and may the best team win

Shame Paul has to miss out , the rider 4th in your averages is a difficult one to cover for . But it's seems dry this morning in West Huntspill after yesterday's wet stuff

You have a point . Not heading home for a while , got Manchester and Somerset to do first

Blobby is a lone Wolf now , the days of Sniper on here were hilarious , but the Edinburgh posters these days are more pleasant and not bitter , Blobs aside . Anyway after a wonderful away win and a hotel with a 24 hour bar, we're a bit fragile heading for Manchester . Cracking team performance though , just as well the fuel additives arrived after heat 2 , amazing what Red Bull does mixed with the nitro . Didn't work for our glorious leader though as he was 6 points down on his usual score . But cometh the hour , cometh the man , take a bow Rasser , you were immense .

Aye and I never said idiot either lol

Anyway we're all pissed , so it's been a good night and an excellent away win , so good bless the stripes and idiot the Monarchs

It's wrong not to spread the dodgy fuel round the whole team, must do better guys

We'll young Connor Bailey is with us in our post match celebrations and is quite miffed at missing out on these fuel additives , not very fair that not spreading them around the whole team

Blobby might hate us , but honestly Iron Scorpions post is the funniest I've read in a long time , quality stuff lol

Thanks guys , a wee lull in the post meeting celebrations, and i decided to read this thread . Quality gold on the excuses , even the Monarchs couldn't think this stuff up , cheers guys

Seriously lol

Awesome , Rasser saves the day after Cookies daftnessi in heat 15 . At 9-3 down after 2 heats we looked in bother , but we were awesome after that

No liking this , 30 miles north of Scunny and it's pouring

Nah she'll be a Monarchs fan

We have just crossed the border into the Peoples Republic of Brexit

We are on our way , hope the bar is well stocked

Unlike the team that took that away from him of course

Our long tail is a worry , but I've seen young Australians take very well to the Scunthorpe track in the past , so young Connor Bailey might find things more to his liking than recent away tracks have . But it should be an entertaining encounter .
