montie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Josh Bates would make a great addition to the asset base...young..talented and entertaining....exactly the type of rider clubs should invest in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Cant see the positive side of racing scunny tomorrow when we knew Proctor would be missing.I know hes not set the world on fire yet but to take on scunny a rider short spells disaster to me and the potential of edinboro getting a result next week doesn't really set us up for the Berwick cup tie.At the end of the month we could be out of both cups bottom of the league and the season will be flat.I would love to be proved wrong and hope I am.Could we not have held a top gun and give bates Nielsen and poole a meeting with no pressure and invited a couple of foreign lads over ? Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbolt Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 The BIG news ' Uncle signs nephew ' wow, thats so inspirig for tonight. One thing that is puzzling me,.Scunny recently cancelled a meeting because one of their riders (Klindt) was missing, yet are willing to take on a team with a rider (Proctor) missing. They must be so desperate to get to play offs. I have no doubt they will win big against the Tigers as they have beaten full sides twice at Owlerton already. Dont think we are a strong side ,even when Proctor rides. Steady reminds me of a captain of a sinking ship. Plenty of brave fighting talk but can't get his crew to save the ship from going under. Still, I'm hoping for a miracle and we get a 46-44 win. BTW its a brilliant day for speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW its a brilliant day for speedway You could argue that RR for Proctor actually makes the Tigers a little stronger, heis average around Owlerton is under 5 so with Stead taking an extra one plus the rest, i dont think it make you weaker does it???

Tigerite Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) You could argue that RR for Proctor actually makes the Tigers a little stronger, heis average around Owlerton is under 5 so with Stead taking an extra one plus the rest, i dont think it make you weaker does it???For me, Tigers are much weaker without Proctor, he looked much faster last week against Glasgow and would have scored paid 11 from 4 but for a ridiculous decision from the referee to exclude him for jumping the start twice in heat 11, when he clearly didn't in the second running of that heat.

They must be so desperate to get to play offs. I dont understand your post Saying we are desperate to get to the Play offs,---dam right,i thought that was the idea or have i missed something??? And how is it puzzling you that we are willing to take on a team with RR??? not as if its the first time RR is being used is it? And to make you statement 100% correct you may add that Sheff have a facility,where as the one that Scunny postponed-[not cancelled] we didnt have a facility enjoy your racing to night--I know i will! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerite Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Fair point but the old saying is averages dont lie!!! normally I would agree, but it's too small a sample of meetings to judge Ty yet, after a few more meetings for Sheffield then maybe. He looked very much on it last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEK Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Probably desperate to run a meeting in glorious weather to give us supporters our speedway fix and balance the books a little. No meeting or one with R/R. I know which I would pick................. See you tonight 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevH Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Can someone clear this up for me please. Tonight's meeting was billed as a Premier League clash, but the updates site has a meeting between the two clubs on May 15th also billed as a PL meeting. If tonight was indeed a league meeting, what was the meeting in May? Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tonight was indeed a league meeting, what was the meeting in May? Thanks in advance for any help. Teams race 28 meetings (12 home & 12 away against each opponent, plus home and away again against two others). The top six then go forward to the play-offs. I know Scunthorpe are racing Sheffield and Redcar twice in the PL. Not sure who Sheffield are Scunthorpe and someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Superstar1.........it could only happen in Speedway !! So Scunthorpe, for example are racing Sheffield and Redcar twice........that is twice at home and twice away?
