This should be a close match. The Tiger's will need all the points they can get to have a chance in the second leg. It will be interesting to see how many turn up with England playing. Tigers to win +12, I hope.utt

Howarth will be a big miss and if berge rides like he can round sheffield we will be in trouble .we can't afford no passengers. If we go out of the cup and fail in the fours I fear the season could be all but over .we need a decent lead tomorrow to stand any chance of going through .

Tigers website posting on Sunday said: "Tigers skipper Kyle Howarth has been taken to hospital in Newcastle with a dislocated shoulder..... Hopefully the shoulder is back in place and there is nothing longer term to worry about.”

Tigers website posting today says: "...they’ve since had the huge setback of losing Kyle Howarth with a broken collarbone." 

Are things going from bad to worse?

Some big crashes tonight,Garrity cartwheeling down the back straight looked very nasty. I hope he is ok. Todd Kurtz walked away after another nasty crash. Then Charlie Wright did the same as Garrity on the home straight but after a trip to the first aid room came back out and took his last ride,unbelievable but that's what speedway riders do. The meeting was very good plenty of overtaking and Dimitry Berge was brilliant blasting around the boards. It should be close tomorrow I think it all depends on the guests, but good luck to the Tigers.utt

For Scunny Berge was awesome and Garrity looked very quick before his crash (hope he’s ok), Auty started well but faded as the meeting went on, Allen just looked angry and seemed to be particularly peeved with Auty.

For Sheffield, Broc looked good again in a couple of rides, Todd looked good and was impressed with him coming from the back to take points in a couple of rides when dumped to the back in hard first turns, Bjerre and Wright just looked a bit off the pace compared to usual but still had decent night - can’t believe Wright walked away from his crash or that nobody hit him, Shanes had another good night and Wood had a decent race and looks like getting back to where he was last year

Amazing how Scunthorpe are been hit with the bad luck with crashes , injuries and bike failures . Early on all was well then Jason’s crash hope it’s not as bad as first feared  , the lads dug in and we’re doing well  Dimitri Berge was a very good guest and scored well   , Jake Allen was holding the two tigers off for 3  1/2 laps then bike problems and a 4 pt swing. One last point one a club states it’s got a 10 pm curfew why racing continued after this time was it due to the Scorpions been depleted who knows . As for the 2nd leg I think Sheffield have enough points  in the  bag  , hers hoping for an injury free night for both sides

It was only heat 15 that went past 10pm - Think it was probably more to do with the promotion wanting to complete the match for the paying supporters - given you had Berge and Auty in the last race and we were down to one fit heat leader, I doubt we ran it with the view of stretching our lead, the reverse was more likely

Incident packed to say the least. Todd was excluded when there was clearly a tapes malfunction then Georgie had mechanical problems . Then we had 2 impressive heat wins for auty and garritty before broc rode a cracking line to win heat 5. Onto heat 6 where garritty left Todd no room and he finished up under the fence then in the rerun Todd was fired up and went passed garritty who unfortunately ran into the back of Todd and cartwheeled down the back straight,shame because it spoils a good race.we then got a bit of a lead before Charles picked up some grip and slammed into the home straight fence.cant believe he came back out for heat 13 and got a 2 ND place.Well done to the other 3 for avoiding him.A lucky 5-1 in heat 14 after Allen had got it in the bag until he broke down.Heat 15 was run after the flexible curfew and nobody was catching the super fast Berge,he was awesome last night,hopefully he won't be tonight.In all it was a fast and furious meeting and very entertaining.Well done to all the riders hope all the injuries soon mend..I hope 12 points will be enough but can't see it with Scunthorpe getting Schlein in as guest .
