StevePark Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Team managers are Stevie Worrall (Scorpions) and Roy Clarke (Diamonds). One of the guests for the Diamonds is David Howe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 With Ludde 'back on it', Ash, Tero, Wilko and Howe all former Scorpions maybe having a point to prove and Matty just having a point to prove, we might just get a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't usually perform at Scunny, especially with their drowning the track tactics, but it could be interesting if the real David Howe turns up. Result could be interesting, but Scunny does have a decent team this year. Edited May 9, 2018 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hoping for a Scorpions win (obviously) but hoping Jake is fit enough to take his place in the Scorpions line up, if not I hope Mr G (thats Rob, not Jase) can find a good enough guest for Super Stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Seems odd that the Scorps are going to pay out for Steve Worrall to be DBS checked and for his Officials licence for one meeting however i guess it might provide a better value return via PR / team bonding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulvik Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Jake twitted last night he feel a little bashed up but would be riding. So guessing R/R for Stevie (Rob's got to save some money somewhere with all these big paydays of late) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Job done... Scorpions progress. Entertaining, but hardly a classic EWR meeting, track far too slick tonight, favoured gating and hugging the white line.. Scunny made to work for it, thanks to a brilliant effort from Tero Aarnio (and lets say a somewhat baffling decision from the referee!) ... Aarnio, real star of the show (never rode like that for Scunny!). ... Rest of the Diamonds showed glimpses but made little impact. ... Garrity had an off night, outside line not working for him tonight. ... Auty, Allen, Nielsen and Manzares all return solid double figure scores. ... Manzares, how the hell did he get disqualified from heat 4. Morris on one wheel, heading to the fence completely wiped him out! ... Scorpions progress.. I guess Sheffield will get best 2nd place?

Fozzie4388 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 That had to be the worse refereeing decision I have ever seen. Another thing regarding the track no one can help the weather so not sure Rob should be so hard on himself regarding the track these things happen. The Scorpions got the job won. Next week should be an absolute cracker if tonight's scoreline from the Comets at Peterborough is anything to go by. Wonder if the Scorps will use R/R again or with Sheffield not having a meeting we may see Kyle Howarth at 1 for the Scorpions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 R/R got 11 from 12 tonight... it seems to be working for us... I wouldn't be against using that option next week, gives our lads an extra ride and chance to earn a tad more. You never know what you're gonna get from a guest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with R/R is it only needs someone to crash and withdraw and you’re in a mess. Even if someone is having a poor meeting, like Garrity did, against stronger opposition you can’t expect the other main 4 riders to score as strongly week in week out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
