EC Rides Again Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 May 13 at Scunthorpe May 15 at Glasgow A bit harsh on Somerset as they have league fixtures on both dates ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 i thought scunny were sundays and b/h this year so why a friday, agree about somerset though with starke and wright being involved in semi's i would imagine. also notice edinburgh/plymouth meet home and away on fri/sat so could affect any of their riders, either missing friday or a long haul back to glasgow from plymouth.

lucifer sam Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 GRAND PRIX star Chris ‘Bomber’ Harris heads a dazzling British Semi-Final line-up at Scunthorpe’s Eddie Wright Raceway on Friday, May 13th (7.30pm). Harris won the 2007 British Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, and is a three-time British Champion. He is joined by a trio of current Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions – Josh Auty, Carl Wilkinson and Ashley Morris. It’s a truly star-studded line-up, which also contains the likes of Simon Stead, Robert Lambert, Edward Kennett and Jason Garrity. Only seven qualifying places from Scunthorpe are on offer for the final at Belle Vue on June 13th. Glasgow stage the second semi-final on May 15th, with another seven places up for grabs, while two Wild Cards will complete the line-up for the final. A delighted Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “The line-up for our semi-final at the Eddie Wright Raceway is just superb. I think there’s going to be a real battle for the seven qualification places. “It’s going to be so competitive, because there are far more than seven riders capable of reaching the final in our line-up. “It’s a massive honour for Scunthorpe Speedway to hold this meeting. It’s probably the best line-up we’ve had for a meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway, since we held the Ben Fund Bonanza at the start of 2011. “All I can say is that if people haven’t already put this date in their diary, then please do so now, because you’re going to regret it otherwise. It’s a top class field competing around the best racetrack in the country – it’s going to be something special.” Line-up (not in riding order): Chris Harris (Coventry), Josh Auty (Scunthorpe/Leicester), Carl Wilkinson (Scunthorpe/King’s Lynn), Simon Stead (Sheffield), Kyle Howarth (Wolverhampton/Sheffield), Josh Bates (Coventry/Sheffield), Jason Garrity (Coventry/Sheffield), Leigh Lanham (Rye House), Robert Lambert (King’s Lynn/Newcastle), Simon Lambert (Peterborough), Lewis Kerr (Lakeside/Ipswich), Robert Mear (Lakeside), Richard Hall (Sheffield), Stuart Robson (Rye House), Edward Kennett (Lakeside/Rye House), Ashley Morris (Scunthorpe/Cradley).

RS50 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 “All I can say is that if people haven’t already put this date in their diary, then please do so now, because you’re going to regret it otherwise. It’s a top class field competing around the best racetrack in the country – it’s going to be something special.” Well was at Scunny, Monday, and it was obvious they knew the line up, but was not going to tell us. This fixture was not mentioned, when the original fixtures were published. Not sure how long the authorities knew before deciding to give the information out, but when they did, I already had another date in my diary, so will not be able to go (would have liked to have gone). Just wonder, why is holding back information, more important than getting fans (and income) in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Looking forward to the Glasgow leg. Newman and Starke, Nicholls and Cooke, the Worrals and Ben Barking. Looks a great day of Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Looks good for the Glasgow riders drawn at home As are the Scunny riders too , makes sense don't you think ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Can someone please explain to me why one of the best British riders on form in the E.L in Adam Ellis is not riding. Anyone know the reserves for the semis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Can someone please explain to me why one of the best British riders on form in the E.L in Adam Ellis is not riding. Anyone know the reserves for the semis? The BSPA seem to make things up as they go along, why he's not been invited is anyones guess.

waiheke1 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Isn't it normally the top 32 in the averages from the previous season? Presumably using Pl averages for edr riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Isn't it normally the top 32 in the averages from the previous season? Presumably using Pl averages for edr riders? This is correct and as Ellis hasn't rode PL for a couple of years he misses out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well thats an odd rule which should be looked into especially as far more youth development is coming through. Why not have quarter finals and all EL riders seeded into the semis. Say if a rider becomes World class on grass for 5 years and than is that talented he starts speedway and joins a EL team and scores 8 points per meeting. He would have to miss the British semis?? Odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 This is correct and as Ellis hasn't rode PL for a couple of years he misses out. Surely he's in the same boat as Jacobs and he is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 So Joe Jacobs replaces Danny King. What Adam Ellis got to do to get an invite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 So Joe Jacobs replaces Danny King. What Adam Ellis got to do to get an invite? it's obviously a case of who you know with the BSPA, their decisions on a wide range of subjects beggars belief.

lucifer sam Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Looks like a dry day ahead in Scunny today. I will be setting off straight after finishing work at 3pm and hoping that the Friday night traffic is not too bad. I'm really looking forward to this meeting - so many riders who should excel around the wide open spaces of Scunny. All the best Rob Edited May 13, 2016 by lucifer sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
