Hel'n'Back Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've always supported the saints and always will, I don't go to Sheffield as I can't afford to travel that far to 'home' meetings, so yes, I was disappointed when we joined up with Sheffield, as it meant I would miss half the meetings I would normally watch. Obviously tonight was the only time we were able to fit this meeting in, and with us having three home meetings within a week, Rob must have felt it was a bit much for people to pay out for, and decided to make this one free, I fail to see why people thimk we shouldn't be able to go to it if we don't come to Sheffield! I don't know if I heard right last night at Sheffield (hoggy does sound muffled at times on the PA!) but even though this meeting was free, wasn't there a chance to pay into a collection for JLO?

scunny1 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 There was a J'Lo collection bucket at the programme/raffle ticket stand as well as someone going round with a bucket amongst the crowd at Scunny tonight. There will also be another collection for John on Sunday at the Scorpion fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Having seen the weakened line ups and the traffic on the eastbound M62 I wasn't sure about going to this one but I had agreed to do the texting so I went and was damn glad I did. Typically very entertaining EWR meeting, with some excellent racing from the likes of Kerr, McKinna, Birks, Nielsen, Widman and Wrathall - and all for nothing For an NL match at Scunny the crowd was as good as I have seen it and I'll be surprised if a few of them don't come back for future ones.

Very good post. I thought the crowd was good, it was warm!!, the track produced some excellent racing and despite the weakened sides through PL duties and injuries, it was a good meeting. Although it looked like Jack Hargreaves had shed a chain in Ht 5, it was in fact a blown engine ie with the con rod going through the crankcase so for his remaining rides, he was on borrowed bikes. Well done to Jack for sticking at the task in hand and for willing to give it a go on the various bikes on offer. For the Colts, Karl Mason was suffering with his engine failing to get the necessary speed around a very fast Scunthorpe track but Adam McKinna was riding near to his best, pushing the opposition hard in every race. Hope the collection for John Oliver raised a bob or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Special thanks for the free meeting ( is that the 3rd or 4th now ) it brought back some old fans to speedway. hope they return to the EWR for future meetings! Well done to the Saints on their win. A very good meeting with some excellent racing from both teams. I agree montie. A very good guest in L Kerr who thoroughly deserved his paid 11 pts. Another 3 pts in the bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelle Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 If only a few people who went to Scunny on a freebie get the bug and start going regularly then thats good for the sport.....you still got 18 races for your money. get over it and move on!

squall Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 It also bugs me that I paid for the rained off meeting, then cannot make it at Scunny but Scunny fans who REFUSE to support the same team at Sheffield get a freebie. Should be free for people who show the Sheffield racecard, not everyone. I'm not going mad that I paid for the rain off - I got 18 heats for 15 heatsworth of money - it's that the vast majority of the crowd tomorrow night will have been nowhere near Sheffield the other week. If only a few people who went to Scunny on a freebie get the bug and start going regularly then thats good for the sport.....you still got 18 races for your money. get over it and move on!
