Saints V I.o.w/belle Vue Colts

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 :approve:

 

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

Anyone know the confirmed teams for this? Is it just Worral 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 :)

 

I think,but not 100% that it will be RR for Steve

team will be Irving,Birks,Richie Worrall,Stefan Nilson,Wrathall and Smethels plu RR,everyone can take Steves rides i believe

 

Unsure about Garrity

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.

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.

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.

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?

That won't be happening thanks to Stoke's 4 point win last night!
