Taylorj Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh dear points tonight now look in doubt, but good look to the Scorpions-or alternative chuck it down with rain all weekend. A fine,dry and cold day forecast for tomorrow in Worky and the same in Scunny on Sunday, lets hope it stays that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stewart Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 There's no point in trying to point the finger and blame someone, you just have to get on with it. Nothing is over yet; there's nothing to stop us scoring points from tonight's meeting. All the best Rob Peasley I think the key man in the meeting is actually Tabaka. Scunthorpe have had terrible luck and to be without Howe, Auty, Morris and Jorgensen is just about unprecedented. However they have reasonable replacements and good reserves to cover. It all depends on Tabaka, who crashed at Ipswich and hurt his hand again. He's says he is riding and he scored a maximum in his last home meeting, but if he proves not to be up to it then Palm Toft and Irving will run riot. A final between full strength Newcastle and Scunthorpe teams, the best two over the season, would be a cracker. It's a pity it won't happen.

It's a pity it won't happen. Totally agree. Newcastle with the Worralls and Scunthorpe with Howe. Jorgensen et al would have been mouth-watering.

My 8 yr old daughter had a bad fall in the school playground this week, she "looks OK" , but I've had to carry her to and from the toilet all week ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 He's definately not ok. Takle a look at a slow motion replay of last nights crash. He is not fit to ride, and thats unfortunate. To suggest he has other motives is ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 No but when you got important meeting coming up for both clubs is it worth the risk when no need to?? one swindon rider with 5 meeting on the trot and hes given ht 15,doesnt seem right to me The fact is, the Swindon rider doesn't have 5 meetings on the trot. Pearson's bellowing focussed on whether he would be fit for Monday, and the Swindon website has: "Boss Alun Rossiter said: “Nick now has a sore neck and very stiff back, and he’s also suffered a chipped tooth, and I have to say unfortunately he’s a major doubt for Monday. “We’ll monitor him over the next few days and hopefully he’ll be feeling better, but it’s a big worry for us at this stage.” It's the nature of the game - if he had been at Edinburgh tonight & got injured, you wouldn't think "Oh no, the Elite League Play Off Final on Monday!"

No i wouldnt,but tonight is an importnat meeting,last nights ht15 wasnt...that was the point of my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 No i wouldnt,but tonight is an importnat meeting,last nights ht15 wasnt...that was the point of my post Not to Swindon it's not - based on the quote from Rossiter. Add to that the confidence boost of giving a Heat 15 ride to Morris (it happens all the time at all levels in one-sided matches) and the chance to earn some more EL money....... Also, the reason Morris took the gig was because he wasn't getting enough rides for Swindon (quoted in the Speedway Star art the time of signing), so in his mind he's a Swindon rider with a second job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much nail on the head there Swindon let him D/Up to improve his match sharpness as he wasn't getting enough meeting's with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 “It’s 50/50 whether Josh and Nick will be fit for the two Workington meetings on Saturday and Sunday..” Just a guess, but I have a hunch that Morris won't be at Workington........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Our house is full of gloom today because of the dire state our team is left in through accidents. But to blame anyone is ridiculous. Crashes happen in our sport and always will especially when riders double up. Having said that, how unlucky for us to be left with only 3 Scorpions and those being the lowest averaged riders. However I'd like to thank those riders who are to guest for us. Good luck, score us some points please! and to Ashley, Michael and Gary " perform how we know you can, were not out of it yet!... stay safe." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a stiff neck and a bad back you would not travel to an airport and fly across Europe and run down the pit lane with a speedway bike. Everyone free for their opinions!!!
