bullet Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Fixtures have not come out too bad for me with my shifts only 2 swaps needed all season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimmy Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Looks like I'm going to miss a good number of matches with the way the fixtures have turned out 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Be awkward if you have a rain off or two and Holub doesn't get a new average before Klindt leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Excellent to have an away fixture again on the way back from Cardiff , and where better to round off that particular weekend . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Excellent to have an away fixture again on the way back from Cardiff , and where better to round off that particular weekend . I think that was exactly the plan, as well. Both Scunthorpe and Glasgow are Sunday tracks in 2016, but that Sunday is available for Scunny, because the Tigers' fans don't have time to get back to Ashfield for an afternoon fixture, but will plenty to time to get to the EWR by 6.30pm. So you'll get cracking racing at Somerset on the Friday and Scunny on the Sunday and just have to slum it at Cardiff in between All the best Rob Edited January 24, 2016 by lucifer sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogo1 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Makes sense to help each other out with both being Sunday tracks, plus if it was a Friday R Worrall could have been riding for Belle Vue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Would it not make sense to have the start time for the Glasgow match a bit earlier than 6.30 so Glasgow fans and any neutral fans heading north can get back home in good time. I think most of these fans will set off from the Cardiff/south wales on Sunday morning and I would guess it would take them 3-5 hours to reach Scunthorpe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Flybe will take me to Scunny and wait till the meeting finishes. Edited January 31, 2016 by tyretrax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you , i'll be leaving Newport by train on the Sunday morning , then it will be change at Bristol for one to Doncaster and then change again there for one to Scunthorpe . Taxi from the station to the Premier Inn , check in and a bite to eat in the pub there , before taxi to the track , so the more time I have - the better . So 6-30 is fine by me . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Has Josh been back on the bike yet? has he had any laps yet a big year for Josh before injury he was going quite well last year.I don't know what you Scunny fans think or expect from Josh this year, around a 8.80/9.00 average maybe? i think he will also have a decent EL campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 By the time Klindt departs for his Polish fixtures , Holub will have an established average and no doubt there wil be scope for a new rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 By the time Klindt departs for his Polish fixtures , Holub will have an established average and no doubt there wil be scope for a new rider. As already discussed on this Thread... 2 x home and 3 x away scheduled fixtures for Holub to attain an Established MA before Klindt's Polish fixtures start - rain-off's and re-arrangements permitting. Problem may be that the EMA is effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting and the home match against Peterborough on 10th April is only 3 days after the fifth match away at Sheffield.

Sidney the robin Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 i recon its good night for turtle head tungate. or will he throw a sickie ?I think Josh should look ahead ok last years incident was bad a disgrace to be honest, but he needs a injury free year if he does that he will do well.

Who could they realistically sign? The return of Lyager maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Who could they realistically sign? The return of Lyager maybe. Andreas Lyager is in the same Częstochowa squad as Nicolai Klindt in the Polish League; so again it will depend how Częstochowa intend to use Andreas. He definitely has it in him to be one of the next up and coming Danish riders; just think back to how quickly he sized up the EWR in his limited appearances last season. When Nicolai's Częstochowa commitments kick in the management will need to make a decision and I suppose someone like Andre Compton might be in mind ?; But for me Andreas deserves a chance to prove we have another great young rider in our midst.
