The opening match of Group B of the play-offs. Ipswich will want to start with a home win, while Scunthorpe will be on the trail of away points. All the best Rob

Last night, they had special one-off permission from the council to start at 7pm and finish by 9.30pm. All the best Rob

I didn't pick up any kind of hint from going to Rye House on Saturday that Len was considering packing in Rye House. Seemed to be business as usual. All the best Rob

Ryan MacDonald at No 1 for Tigers. With Paulco at No 5 on a 8-pint average. All the best Rob

Monarchs dragging out their fixtures so instead of a sh*te Sneddon at reserve they have a sh*te Sheddon at reserve... no wait a minute, that doesn't work All the best Rob

Worry not. Thursday: Scotland claim independence. Friday: Everyone trying to go north on a Friday gets stuck around Manchester. Saturday: English Army arrive. Sunday: Scotland surrender, with Alex Salmond beheaded. Monday: Welsh army arrive... after being delayed after passing a field on the M6 containing sheep. All the best Rob

True, although the other four fixtures haven't been announced at all, so I'm expecting one on October 20th or something daft. All the best Rob

But you don't need to beat them on aggregate - just get the three points off them at your place, and then whatever Edinburgh do against Workington, you just need to beat it e.g. if Edinburgh take six points off Worky, then you take seven. All the best Rob

Nope for 1st and 2nd. All about who performs in the next six meetings. Edinburgh and Somerset peaked too early. All the best Rob

No confidence in reaching the final, then, Najjer? Can't say I blame you - it's all set for a Scorpions vs Bandits final All the best Rob

October 3rd Scunny fixtures here: http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?p=1976 All the best Rob

See you in the final All the best Rob

Robbo was crap. Glad Cov weren't using R/R, because I'd have owed you a sausage roll All the best Rob

A slightly tedious night of speedway. The first meeting started off not too bad, but it got a bit boring by the end. I thought Eastie's guests would make them competitive, but it didn't happen. The odd bit of entertainment, such as Josh Auty bursting past Bjarne Pedersen in the second meeting, while Bjarne was wearing the black & white. Oh, and the Poo Boy doing his clown impression in the closing stages. All the best Rob

I am going tonight, but don't care too much what happens in the meeting, as long as the Scunny boys stay safe. Low-key meeting ahead of some much bigger ones. All the best Rob

Isn't the Belle Vue away meeting on the 22nd three days after the cut-off (19th)? Or has the cut-off date been shifted back? All the best Rob

Shawn, Josh has been flying the last couple of weeks. He'll do a good job for the Bees. Just don't break him! All the best Rob

Woohoo, I get a sausage roll, since the Bees won't score anything from R/R now. (Only joking, sadly the bet is now void). Good luck Josh... and keep safe around the moto-cross track. All the best Rob

You're on. A sausage roll at Cardiff next year for the winner? All the best Rob

If Eastie win both meetings tonight, you won't be in the play-offs at all, though.... It's still strange that Eastie can find a hatful of guests, while Cov can't even find one. All the best Rob

If there isn't anyone, where did Eastbourne get their guests from? Out of a magic hat? And Nicolai Klindt would be better than R/R. All the best Rob

Easbourne have some excellent guests in tonight, so it could be close. Have Coventry bothered booking a guest yet? All the best Rob

Rose-tinted spectacles. Speedway was run no better in the seventies than it is now... or have you forgotten meetings being staged in November, a final being staged before a semi-final (1978 Midland Cup) or seasons starting with guests on both sides because of the fallout caused by Rider Control and riders being allocated where they didn't want to go??? All the best Rob

Thanks. And then the winners of the semi meet Plymouth/Ipswich in the final. Probably heading for an Edinburgh vs Ipswich final then. All the best Rob

What's this? A quarter or semi final? All the best Rob
