lucifer sam Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) NEW VISITORS TO EDDIE WRIGHT RACEWAY IN BANK HOLIDAY 30-HEAT FEAST OF SPEEDWAYFLUIDAIR POWER Scunthorpe Scorpions are looking for a win by four points or more against the Peterborough Panthers at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Bank Holiday Monday (3pm), to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Premier League Knockout Cup.The KO Cup clash forms the first half of a double-header that sees not only one, but two brand new visiting teams to the Eddie Wright Raceway. The second half pits the Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Stags against the Coventry Storm in National League action.Peterborough Panthers have dropped down to the Premier League in 2014, after 15 successive seasons in the Elite League.Peterborough and Scunthorpe regularly competed against each other in the old National League (the name for the second tier at that point) between 1972 and 1985. The Panthers visited both of Scunthorpe’s previous homes, Quibell Park and Ashby Ville. But never the Eddie Wright Raceway… until Monday.In fact, the Panthers were the last-ever visitors to Scunthorpe’s second home, Ashby Ville. Scunthorpe won 40-37 on May 13, 1985, with Andy Buck scoring a 12-point maximum for the Stags. Days later, Scunthorpe withdrew from the National League, and it was 20 years before Rob Godfrey brought speedway back to the town.Coventry, a top flight club since 1957, have never previously visited a Scunthorpe track in official competition, although the Bees did send along a team to a couple of four team tournaments at Quibell Park in the 1970s.Coventry entered a second team, the Storm, in the National League in 2013, and with Scunthorpe also entering a team in the NL this season, the two clubs will finally meet in league competition at Scunthorpe.Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It’s nice to be meeting a couple of teams who have never been to the Eddie Wright Raceway before - it gives a bit of variety. “Hopefully a good number of Panthers’ fans will come along to a track they’ve never visited before. They won’t be disappointed, they will find that Scunthorpe is a racer’s track, just like Peterborough.“Our main objective will be to do everything we can to progress to the quarter-finals of the Knockout Cup, where Plymouth await the aggregate winners.”Scunthorpe trail by just three points (43-46) after a battling performance in the first leg at Peterborough on Tuesday. In a match of fluctuating fortunes, the Scorpions recovered from ten points behind to lead 37-34, and then the Panthers rallied in the final two races.Scunthorpe do have an injury concern, as flying Australian Ryan Douglas suffered a wrist injury in the 40-55 defeat at Plymouth on Friday, where recent signing Nicolai Klindt was again in terrific form for the Scorpions.Monday’s adult admission price for the double-header is £17. It’s just £2 more than a single Premier League meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway, for 15 extra heats of action. The circuit rightfully has won the award, several times, for being the best racetrack in the Premier League, so a full and exciting day of racing is ahead. Admission prices for Bank Holiday Monday:Adult: £17.00Student/OAP: £15.00Child (10 – 17): £5.00Child (0 – 9) Free (accompanied by paying adult)Family Ticket £39 (2 adults, 2 Children 10-17)Match Programme: £1.00Expected teams for Sunday (English unless stated):Teams for Monday:FluidAir Power Scunthorpe Scorpions: 1.

Aus speedway Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 If Ryan's wrist is broken it will be a massive blow to scunthorpe, hoping the best for his xray today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Love Scunny.... great track. BUT.... I'm basically paying 17 quid for 15 heats, as without being horrible, I don't want to see a national league meeting to which I have no ties with. Bit disappointing.

LagutaRacingFan Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Panthers should win this If Douglas is out injured; Our Top 5 will all score heavy and Jacobs and Greenwood should chip in with the occasional point Going for 42-48 to the Panthers.

bdjfan Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Think scorpions won't do badly if they have to do r/r Seeing as we're travelling up there to see the Panthers would rather just pay to see them and then get back on the road home as we have work on Tuesday!

proud panther Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The brilliant track at Scunthorpe, & a lot of racers in both teams, means I am really looking forward to this meeting.Think it could go either way, & feel Dryml is the key for Panthers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it should be a cracking meeting. All the best Rob Any update on Douglas yet Haven't heard anything as yet, don't know if there was swelling, in which case it may take a day or so to go down, to allow an X-ray to take place. There will be an update by tomorrow morning at the latest. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryml,s generally always the key as are the reserves, some decent points from them and we might have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 So if Douglas withdraws then do his rides get covered by R/R If that's the case then that's wrong; He's going into the meeting half-fit so If he has to withdraw; the reserves should take his rides.
