HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions have signed Ashley Morris as a replacement for Nicolai Klindt – and he will ride for the club at the Eddie Wright Raceway this Sunday, in the League Cup clash against the Peterborough Panthers (start-time 6.30pm). The 21-year-old Englishman started his career at the Eddie Wright Raceway in 2009, riding for the Scunthorpe Saints in the National League. Scorpions’ team plans are currently in a state of flux due to the absence of Czech Republic star Zdenek Holub. He injured his shoulder at Peterborough last Friday, and at the time of moment it’s unclear how long he will be on the sidelines. Holub seems to have avoided a break, but still has little movement in his arm. Klindt was only on a temporary contract until his Polish commitments started, with fellow Dane Andreas Lyager waiting in the wings, ready to come in for Klindt once Holub gained a real average. But Holub’s absence provides a complication, since he has not ridden in a fourth away meeting, required for gaining a real average, and he will stay on his assessed average of 7.00 for a little longer. Promoter Rob Godfrey explains: “Nicolai Klindt is unavailable to ride on Sunday, due to a Polish commitment, plus he would have been unavailable for quite a few of our forthcoming meetings. “We knew that Nicolai’s Polish fixtures would be kicking in at this time, and therefore we’ve made the move for Ashley Morris. “We know Ashley is a quality rider and can come in and do the job that we’re asking from him. He’s a temporary signing, but if he comes in and scores a hatful of points, he can make it impossible for us to drop him. “Theo Pijper came in as a temporary signing last season, but stayed the whole season.” Morris’ introduction means that Carl Wilkinson moves up to No 2, rider replacement for Holub to No 5, while Morris slots in at No 6. Godfrey states: “Once we’ve got a clearer picture of how long that Zdenek is going to be out for, then we can figure out the best way forward. With shoulder injuries, you can either recover very quickly or they can prove to be long-term. “I can assure our supporters that we are considering every option available to us. If Zdenek is out long term, then Andreas could come in for him.” As for the meeting itself, Godfrey remarks: “Every time that Peterborough come to Scunthorpe, it seems to be a fantastic meeting. I’m sure everyone remembers last year’s clash, when we turned it around with three 5-1s in the final three races. “It’s going to be a tough meeting, especially as Peterborough have started the season well. But we’ll be going all out to record our first home win of the season.” There are 24 heats of action in total on Sunday, with a nine-race second half including a six-heat Midland Development League match between Scunthorpe & Long Eaton.

... that's become even more retarded this season? Probably All the best Rob

Allott, Allott & Allott. All the best Rob EDIT: Arnie beat me to it by seconds

I reckon the Collins boys would win the brothers four team tournament competition! All the best Rob

Still on according to Sky's own website: http://www.skysports.com/watch/speedway-on-sky All the best Rob

Yeah, a lucky escape. He came down with such a thud on that shoulder. All the best Rob

A rider took highside off the wrong side of the bike and landed in a nasty heap - so what are you trying to get at? All the best Rob

Yeah, as I soon as I saw it, I thought he'd done his collarbone at the very least. If Zdenek has escaped with bruising and abrasions to his shoulder, it's something of a relief - it could easily been worse. All the best Rob

Lewy, that's fantastic news! Must be a huge relief to yourself and the rest of the Plymouth faithful. All the best Rob

I think you're mistaking the Danish, Swedish and US Finals of the World Championship, with the Danish, Swedish and US Championships. Separate events. All the best Rob

It's League Cup. All the best Rob

No, it was new last year. Glasgow used it to replace James Sarjeant with guest Nico Covatti at the EWR. All the best Rob

I agree the rule is poorly written (or should be included in 18.2.3 rather than 18.2.4), but it's been clarified. Scunny ended up using it, but likewise Sheffield could have done, had they been 10 or more points behind. All the best Rob

Best solution is for Rye House team manager to clarify the rules before the meeting. All the best Rob

Doesn't bother me personally. But publications and websites need 'em. All the best Rob

Cheers - thanks very much. Thanks also to Tigerite for answering, even though his time wasn't correct. All the best Rob

Does anyone have a time for Heat 10 yesterday? Thanks very much. All the best Rob

Final score: Scunthorpe 43 Sheffield 50. All the best Rob

Plenty of parking. If main car park is full, there's a secondary car park that can be opened. Food excellent at EWR - and value for money too. Get there in enough time, because Scunny normally start bang on time - first race will be at 3pm. All the best Rob

Wilko back in action, so Scorpions should be at full strength. Lasse Bjerre guests for the injured Simon Stead for Sheffield. All the best Rob

Unfortunately, it's often the case of how the Royal Mail operates these days. If they are busy or under-staffed, they simply hold back the larger envelopes and parcels for delivery. Our post was shocking for a while, but is now (touch wood) back to normal. All the best Rob
