screm Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 You rode against 5 riders? Id say Scunthorpe were more up against it than Berwick Yes but we went into this meeting minus arguably our two best riders, yes we had a guest in Howarth, without our two regular reserves, so just failing to score a point is a reasonable effort IMO.

Mr Wilko will tell you that. All I do is mouth off on twitter apparently. But no it wasn't anything to do with Carl, as said we've been mates for years, others well.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstormer Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Great win for the five men against the seven men. Don't come that one mate. Kerr took three rides. Tough on Burton injury of course but his extra ride gave you three points so no need to bleat on about only five riders.

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 You replaced Kerr with Wilko and replaced Burton with Wilko and Burton missed a race, that isn't up against it very much is it pahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Developed into a bloody good meeting.. first four or five races were somewhat strung out and instantly forgettable. After that slow start though, there was fantastic racing from both teams. Kyle Howarth is so good to watch round scunny, some terrific battles with Josh Auty. Doolan, Howe and Gappmaier also put on a decent show. For Scunny.. A most welcome win.. Was a good effort from the boys.. Special praise for Wilko and Auty, brilliant effort from both of them. Great to see Josh back on form and enjoying his speedway again. Shame about the withdrawals of Ryan Burton (collar bone) and Lewis Kerr (wrist).. hope their injuries heal quick and don't keep them out long. For those that stayed on to watch the junior match.. some great riding from the young'uns.. thoroughly entertaining meeting. Halifax pipping Berwick 19-17.. Some cracking young riders developing in that league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is that due to the European 125cc championships in Torun? Has special dispensation been given for this meeting to be run with 250's instead of 125/150's, makes sense if so because both Berwick riders are at Torun I think. Yes it is due to the torun meeting Berwicks Luke Harrison and Sam Mcgurk and halfax rider Harry Mcgurk are all there to race on Thursday in the European 125 championship. They also got to watch Torun v Wroclaw yesterday and will watch the sec meeting on Friday Got to love been the dad of a speedway kid lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Not for first time against Berwick at Scunthorpe A certain referee mucks it up. Same happened last year. Just general inconsistency. Bandits must have rued Bridger and Etheridge absence today. A win for sure gone astray What exactly did the ref muck up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 some fansatic racing yesterday from both teams, heat 13 was somthing else with Howarth and Auty going at it for 4 laps,really top drawstuff Howarth is quite brilliant around the EWR these days im guessing Douglas needed a change of underwear after heat 14 to,i tought we would be collecting him from Scunny highstreet after lap 3 One request i now have,will all visiting riders please gob off on social media prior to visting the EWR,makes for such excitement Auty was immense yesterday,even had the common decency to take his helmet off for a scrap Good to hear Josh Bailey is returning to The Bandits have had a tough start this year but they for sure deserved more for their efforts yesterday Top stuff all round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 It was Gappmaier who should have been excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 From what I remember seeing on the track, Howe & Auty did not get on, in that the way they rode together, at times, was if they were the opposition riders. I even heard a while ago that certain riders would not come out in heat 15 if they were paired together. I like to see racing but if it is going to be hard to catch an opponent then I don't like to see our own riders chopping each other up,, changing lines as it is an accident waiting to happen & gifting points away. Surely a talk in the pits how riders are going to ride & after the 1st two bends if it didn't go to plan than adapt. Regarding Josh Bailey, I thought, this year, that certain riders,& Josh was one, should not have been riding in 3 leagues, never mind some others in 2. Josh always seemed apprehensive about mixing it in the first bend but then was, generally, up to speed with the others & I feel this problem might still be there. I hope not, though. We have suffered in our choice of replacements where others have not, but I think there is now some decent riders that have come on & deserve a spot, if available. Kyle Bickley, Tom Brennan, Georgie Wood, Jake Knight even Mark Baseby & the recently signed up Taylor Hampshire who started out with Josh at Kings Lynn. As I said, without delving deeper, I am unsure of ages & availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 just for starters David Howe exclusion She was same last year we were there. Excluded Hummell for nowt mate But surely if the ref excluded Gappmaier (won who the race) rather than David, the most Bandits could have got from the race was still a 3-3?
