Sheffield V Scunthorpe (pl) 15th May


Recommended Posts

Thankfully the Hoo Ha of the last couple of weeks has passed and we can look forward to the first Premier League meeting with what looks like decent weather! With Ty Proctor making his debut finally, Sheffield should be stronger than they were when the Scorpions were last in town and keen for revenge for the LC home defeat. Scunny look like being without Klindt as he's deputising for Kenneth Bjerre in the Danish Championships on Thursday. With Auty and Birks in the team Scunny are always going to be a handful and with Klindt out and every rider entitled to an RR ride we could see them both have 6 rides. Scunny are slightly weaker at reserve with Douglas now in the team, but so are Sheffield with Compron now in the team.

 

The Tigers, for me, were beaten before they started last time as they seemed to be worried by the track. Hopefully witn decent conditions things will be different. Tigers by 10

With Jorgensen at reserve I think he will be more than a handful.We may be weaker at reserve with Compton moving up.We don't need any passengers that's for sure.We need proctor to hit the ground running or we may struggle.Think it will be close,just hope weve got enough to win by more than 6.

One Problem for Scunny if their meeting at Peterborough gets called off. Klindt won't have actually rode a meeting for them so they won't get a Facility would they?

Who knows what would happen after what happened with us with Proctor/Roynon R/R issue up at Berwick the other week. Hopefully the weather will behave itself this week and it won't be an issue.

On paper this should be close one, hopefully the Tigers will fancy the meeting more than our first meeting against the Scorps at Owlerton.

Wasn't that rule was junked before the 2011 season. Darcy Ward was injured at the start of the season but Poole still used R/R, at which point it become apparent the rule was no longer there.

 

All the best

Just had a look.. Rule 16.5.3

 

"No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a redeclaration,has not made an appearance for that team since being redeclared."

 

I think its the same rule that Caused the problem for at Sheffield at Berwick. It seems bonkers when there is no attempt to gain an advantage through a rider not riding and it is out of their hands. Could Scunny redeclare with Their previous team and have a guest for Mellgren or will they fall foul of having declared their team already? Suspect if the rules are applied to the letter we'll be seeing a NL guest. It would make it easier for the Tigers but not what I'd want to see.

Only applies to a redeclaration: Ward (Poole 2011) & Andrew Tully (Newcastle 2013) were in their teams original declarations

Looking forward to this one - Scunny matches are always competitive affairs and doubt this will be any different. Proctor's scores have been getting back to normal in the Elite league so I have high hopes that he will hit the ground running for us, if Taylor has a decent night as well there should be no stopping us. Will be interesting to see how Nielsen goes at reserve as opposed to the main body of the team.
