Scunthorpe Scorpions 2016?


Recommended Posts

Hmmm Glasgow at home the day after Cardiff, gonna be a long day on sunday, what do i do? drive back straight after the GP or stay over and drive back on the sunday, either way im gonna be knackered

Drive part of the way, stay over in a cheap B&B in Brum or somewhere, carry on on Sunday?

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 :D

 

All the best

Rob

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.

Don't think Flybe will take me to Scunny and wait till the meeting finishes. :cry:

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 .

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.

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.
