I agree, it should be a cracking meeting. All the best Rob Haven't heard anything as yet, don't know if there was swelling, in which case it may take a day or so to go down, to allow an X-ray to take place. There will be an update by tomorrow morning at the latest. All the best Rob

Meeting postponed - rain. All the best Rob

Yup, when Ales first came to Britain, Oxford fans were often amused by the way that away announcers said his name. It's not "Alice" either, that's also wrong. "Al-leesh" is closer. All the best Rob

NEW VISITORS TO EDDIE WRIGHT RACEWAY IN BANK HOLIDAY 30-HEAT FEAST OF SPEEDWAY FLUIDAIR POWER Scunthorpe Scorpions are looking for a win by four points or more against the Peterborough Panthers at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Bank Holiday Monday (3pm), to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Premier League Knockout Cup. The KO Cup clash forms the first half of a double-header that sees not only one, but two brand new visiting teams to the Eddie Wright Raceway. The second half pits the Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Stags against the Coventry Storm in National League action. Peterborough Panthers have dropped down to the Premier League in 2014, after 15 successive seasons in the Elite League. Peterborough and Scunthorpe regularly competed against each other in the old National League (the name for the second tier at that point) between 1972 and 1985. The Panthers visited both of Scunthorpe’s previous homes, Quibell Park and Ashby Ville. But never the Eddie Wright Raceway… until Monday. In fact, the Panthers were the last-ever visitors to Scunthorpe’s second home, Ashby Ville. Scunthorpe won 40-37 on May 13, 1985, with Andy Buck scoring a 12-point maximum for the Stags. Days later, Scunthorpe withdrew from the National League, and it was 20 years before Rob Godfrey brought speedway back to the town. Coventry, a top flight club since 1957, have never previously visited a Scunthorpe track in official competition, although the Bees did send along a team to a couple of four team tournaments at Quibell Park in the 1970s. Coventry entered a second team, the Storm, in the National League in 2013, and with Scunthorpe also entering a team in the NL this season, the two clubs will finally meet in league competition at Scunthorpe. Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It’s nice to be meeting a couple of teams who have never been to the Eddie Wright Raceway before - it gives a bit of variety. “Hopefully a good number of Panthers’ fans will come along to a track they’ve never visited before. They won’t be disappointed, they will find that Scunthorpe is a racer’s track, just like Peterborough. “Our main objective will be to do everything we can to progress to the quarter-finals of the Knockout Cup, where Plymouth await the aggregate winners.” Scunthorpe trail by just three points (43-46) after a battling performance in the first leg at Peterborough on Tuesday. In a match of fluctuating fortunes, the Scorpions recovered from ten points behind to lead 37-34, and then the Panthers rallied in the final two races. Scunthorpe do have an injury concern, as flying Australian Ryan Douglas suffered a wrist injury in the 40-55 defeat at Plymouth on Friday, where recent signing Nicolai Klindt was again in terrific form for the Scorpions. Monday’s adult admission price for the double-header is £17. It’s just £2 more than a single Premier League meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway, for 15 extra heats of action. The circuit rightfully has won the award, several times, for being the best racetrack in the Premier League, so a full and exciting day of racing is ahead.

Paul, I think Dale Diver was offering to buy you a pint.... All the best Rob

No it's not an excuse, just an observation of seeing Hans several times at Odsal around this time. His form at Odsal did change after Erik's accident. I saw him there in the 1988 World Pairs Final - 30-point paid maximum (no mean feat with six riders in a race). But he went there late in '89, he went there and didn't even get double figures. That never happened with Hans. The 1990 Gold Cup Final he took seven riders and only scored paid 11 or 12 out of a possible 21. For some reason, Hans never produced his best form at Odsal after Erik's accident. I don't know why. As you've pointed out, it wasn't like there was a lack of aggression as Tatum found out as Nielsen took revenge for Tatum's over-aggressive ride in the 1989 ICF at Odsal (mentioned by Briggo in his auto-biography, as something Tatum didn't need to do, and cost him later!!). I seem to remember us having a similar conversation before. I wasn't at all surprised when Hans didn't win in 1990.... and everyone who had him down as an odds-on favourite hadn't been taking note of the previous five months! He was having a subdued season by his own standards (on a 10.20 average rather than a 11.00+, although yes he was still top of the averages by a distance!!). I was far more surprised in 1991, his form leading up to that final was excellent and in general he looked sharper in 1991. I fully expected Hans to win at Gothenburg and was disappointed when he didn't. I don't know who I thought would win in 1990 after Jan O got hurt. Per Jonsson was a classy rider who deserved to win one, although ironically he wasn't on form at all in 1990; Per's best era came from 1992 until his accident in 1994, and he was also very good in 1987 & 1988. He was inconsistent in 1990 to say the least (Paul Dugard beat him at Oxford), and outshone at Reading by Todd Wiltshire and Donkey. However, I got the feeling it was Jonsson's night the moment Jimmy Nilsen made a massive clanger in their first race and gave away an almost certain win. From then on, Per rode a blinder and deserved to win on the night. In the run-off, he produced a start when it mattered most. In contrast, I felt Per Jonsson was the best rider in the world in 1992, but it was Havvy who took his chance come the final. The 1992 was probably the weakest of all-time (no defending champion Jan O; no Hans) - still amazed that Gert Handberg got into the top three in a World Final! All the best Rob EDIT: Just thought of another rider missing the '90 final through injury - Simon Cross. He was in the form of his life at the start of that season; he outshone Hans over the three England vs Denmark tests.

Which playing card? Are you calling FP a joker or a queen? All the best Rob Should be perfectly possible, although he wants to take the A46 route, rather then heading straight for the M18/M1. Much less likely to block. All the best Rob

Agree with most of that, although for me Shawn Moran's big chance was 1990. No Erik; no Jan O (I was convinced he was going to win that year); no Wiggy; Hans looking very subdued every time he went to Odsal since Erik's accident there. A golden opportunity for Shooey (and for Kelvin Tatum for that matter). Had Moran won in 1990, I don't think first place would have been taken away in the same manner as second place. I always considered that weird. Rider warns before Overseas Final what medication he's been taking for a 'flu bug, but given OK to ride. FIM then wait for three months to decide actually it's not OK after all. Had Moran been World Champion, I don't think the FIM would have had the balls to take that away from him. All the best Rob

Interesting meeting. Plymouth have beefed up, while Scunthorpe are much more solid with Nicolai Klindt in the team. Should be a good meeting. All the best Rob

Speedibee, we often disagree on subjects, but not this one. Well said. What are the Coventry fans doing about keeping Brandon open? Have you got the local council and MP on side? Believe me, you're in a far stronger position now, with an operational stadium and speedway team, than you will be in three years time once the speedway at Brandon has finished. It's time for you guys to get together and let Mr Sandhu know the strength of your feelings. It's one of the best speedway stadiums in the country (if not THE best) and you can't afford to let it close. All the best Rob

Talking of the mentally fragile, how are you LG Fan? All the best Rob

46-43 to Panthers, all to play for in second leg, slight advantage to Scorps maybe. All the best Rob

Paul, you could form a Scottish Superleague. They would be no restrictions on using riders already riding for English teams or elsewhere, so I would suggest teams of: Edinburgh Monarchs: 1. Craig Cook 2. Derek Sneddon 3. Two-track Tully 4. Rider replacement for THJ 5. The Fish 6. Aaron Fox 7. Bert Harkins Glasgow Tigers: 1. Tai Woffinden 2. Darcy Ward 3. Chris Holder 4.

FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT FIXTURE AT EDDIE WRIGHT RACEWAY FLUIDAIR POWER Scunthorpe Scorpions stage their first Friday evening fixture of the season this week, entertaining 2011 Premier League champions Glasgow Tigers at the Eddie Wright Raceway (7.30pm). It will be the Scorpions’ second meeting in 24 hours, since they are also in action at local rivals Sheffield tonight (Thursday). New signing Nicolai Klindt will finally make his 2014 debut for the Scorpions on Friday. The Dane was due to ride at both Berwick and Peterborough in the last week, but both were rained off. Klindt is unavailable for the match at Sheffield, due to a Danish Final commitment, so Edinburgh’s Sam Masters will guest for the injured Anders Mellgren. Meanwhile, Australian Ty Proctor is set to make his long-awaited debut for Sheffield. Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “We’re after points from both meetings. We’ve dispensed with rider replacement and we have seven men for each meeting. “We will do everything we can to try to win at Sheffield. We took an excellent 53-41 victory there in the League Cup, on a night that Josh Auty reigned supreme. The Tigers are a decent side themselves, and will be out to avenge that result. “We have riders who go well at Sheffield, and it would great to win at their place again. But, as a minimum, we need a point out of that meeting – we need to start picking up away points from our league matches.” Glasgow’s Anders Thomsen was injured in a race-curtailed meeting in Scotland on Sunday, and the Tigers bring in a familiar face as a guest at No 7 – Scunthorpe Stags’ captain Steve Jones. Godfrey added: “Against Glasgow, we need to take all three league points. “We’re not under-estimating Glasgow, by any means. But we’ve already dropped four points at home and we need to start scoring the maximum points from our meetings at the Eddie Wright Raceway. “Nicolai (Klindt) got used to riding at Scunthorpe last season, and this year I’m convinced he will hit the ground running. He can gate and he is a quality addition to the side. It will be good to track seven of our own riders again.” There are 24 heats of action in total on Friday night, with the nine-heat second half including a Midland Development League match between Castleford and Milton Keynes, featuring Stags’ Liam Sanderson and Sam Chapman. Admission prices for Friday: Adult: £15.00 Student/OAP: £13.00 Child (10 – 17): £5.00 Child (0 – 9) Free (accompanied by paying adult) Family Ticket £35 (2 adults, 2 Children 10-17) Match Programme: £1.00 Expected teams for Friday (English unless stated): FluidAir Power Scunthorpe Scorpions: 1.

Is that the same or different time as Wee George tackling the Somerset chicken? The mascot bloke, all seven foot of him, won't go around to the third and fourth bend during the Pairs any more - poor bloke is scared of Wee George All the best Rob

It won't make any difference. Edinburgh and Glasgow will still be able to race in the Premier League, whether Scotland is independant or not. Not that it's going to happen, in any case. The union was formed for a reason, that reason still exists, in that England and Scotland are more powerful and stronger as a combined force. All the best Rob

Indeed. Just had the exact situation explained and will make sure so does everyone else by late evening / early morning. All the best Rob

Wasn't that rule was junked before the 2011 season. Darcy Ward was injured at the start of the season but Poole still used R/R, at which point it become apparent the rule was no longer there. All the best Rob
