montie Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) On paper should be 6 points in the bag this double header but I.O.W should be used to big tracks and the Colts have riders who have done alot of laps around Sheffield No Steve Worrall for the "home" team due to Premier league duty,but the chance to blast themselves to the top of the NL should drive the mighty Saints on The saints should have enough in the bag for these two fixtures but.......

Can see two good wins for Scunthorpe/Sheffield in these ones Montie. Shame that Stevie is unavailable, will R/R be in operation? The team has done really well when having to cover an absence. With both the Worralls/Birks/Irving doing well at PL level this year IMO, which is good to see Think Belle Vue will present tougher opposition being on second and having a stronger side. Im sure both will be entertaining fixtures, Sheffield's promotion have pegged admission prices for the double header, so hopefully they will get a good crowd! Il go for Scunthorpe/Sheffield 58 IOW 35 Scunthorpe/Sheffield 52 Belle Vue 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Anyone know the confirmed teams for this? Is it just Worrall R/R for Sheffield? Is Cooper in? Who's at reserve for us? And does Garrity ride? It'll be my first trip to Owlerton Edited August 17, 2011 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Not sure R/R is a good idea for double header, possibly too may rides each, also need to get on with meeting due to curfew. Would also leave team vulnerable should any rider need to pull out for any reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 If the programme from last week is anything to go by Stuart might just name himself at number 8 or Adam Kirby again like last friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerowl Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I think it will be a real shame if the Scrowlers use r/r for Steve Worrall. The league should be about bringing on young riders and, whilst Scunthorpe have done more than most, the sport would be better served with a youngster at number 7 (and not an ageing team manager with all due respect). The are likely to massacre the Islanders as they are and should beat Belle Vue pretty easily as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Weather check please! I'm in Nottingham atm & it's raining plus the met office has intermittent showers over Sheffield all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 They have got a yongster at NO.7 ,Stefan Nielsen Well, another youngster then instead of rider replacement. That was my point. Weather check - overcast at the moment in Sheffield. We have had no rain all day although there are some showers forecast for later. Don't hang about in Nottingham too long - Sheffield is a much nicer place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypilgrim Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well, another youngster then instead of rider replacement. That was my point. I would hope that Stuart would only take the No. 8 bib for the long haul away meetings. At Sheffield they should use young Kirby or one of the other lads riding in the Midland League 2nd Halves.

Islander15 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thankyou for the weather check. The rain has virtually stopped here so I hope it stays away from the track. I'll be leaving at half 4 ish, so if someone could post nearer then that would be great Regarding the Saints' no. 8, it can't be Adam Kirby as he's riding in the British Under-16 Championship at Smallbrook tonight. However could they have given Oliver Greenwood a chance, or would that be too risky with the Colts in town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
