lucifer sam Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) SCORPIONS OUT TO SHOOT DOWN ROCKETS FLUIDAIR POWER Scunthorpe Scorpions will be looking to maintain their current high Premier League position by defeating the Rye House Rockets at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Friday evening (7.30pm). Third-placed Scorpions will use rider replacement for Josh Auty, currently in hospital where he is having an operation to have his appendix removed. Auty, No 1 at Scunthorpe in 2012 and 2013, is currently third in the Scorpions’ averages. All the Scunthorpe team apart from Nicolai Klindt will be able to take a rider replacement ride for the Englishman. Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “We never take anything for granted, and that goes doubly so now that Josh is out. “Josh had hit some good form in recent weeks. It will make it harder being without him, but we’re still looking for three points from this meeting. “But Rye House will certainly not be pushovers. They have a top No 1 in Great Britain international Edward Kennett, who rode as a couple of times as the wildcard in the British Grand Prix. “And they have Jason Bunyan at reserve, who is no slouch around Scunthorpe. “Our recent form in recent weeks has been really good, but we won’t become complacent. We have to perform on Friday to ensure we come out of the meeting with the result that we desire.” Last season’s Scunthorpe vs Rye House clash at the Eddie Wright Raceway was a classic affair, with the Scorpions coming from ten points behind to grab a 47-46 victory. Admission prices for Friday: Adult: £15.00 Student/OAP: £13.00 Child (10 – 17): £5.00 Child (0 – 9) Free (accompanied by paying adult) Family Ticket £35 (2 adults, 2 Children 10-17) Match Programme: £1.00 Expected teams for Friday (English unless stated): FluidAir Power Scunthorpe Scorpions: 1.

Shadders Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hope to be up for this, depending on when I finish work. No disrespect to Marc Owen, but is he the best NL guest available? Expecting a 20+ point defeat at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yes. The bend1 café sells pies, chips, peas, hot drinks but check the "specials board" on entering the café. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 My favourite is the chips topped with curry and a can of coke.... all for £2.50. It's usually Meal 2 on the specials. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Rob, you've got some weird taste buds. A rum & coke , maybe, but curry & coke flavoured chips! mmmmmm, not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cools the curry down Seriously, though, it's fantastic value for money in the Scunny café - prices at many other tracks are almost double.

I did want to go tonight, but knew with the pain-in-the-neck Game Fair just up the road from me, it would be a nightmare to get out of Oxfordshire.

EC Rides Again Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 What a bunch of crap Can't disagree ! Rob kept apologising for the lack of action, especially as reps of the sponsors were out in numbers. Felt sorry for you and the other Rockets fans present as your team were beaten by the 1st bend in most heats. The Scorpions had a similar night up at Rough Park a few weeks ago, so I think we can all sympathise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait until next Sunday when we're at Rough Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
