Just an opinion, folks! Is a question just an opinion?? are you suggesting that due the above mentioned, teams are knocking Scunthopre riders off? if you are that i think is one of the most stupid posts ive ever read i dont for a minute believe any rider in either league would be ``forcefull`` just because of Scunthorpe riders earn money by scoring points and race hard,accidents happen Edited August 5, 2018 by montie 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 no scunthorpe rider was knocked off tonight but they did take themselves out you could see both auty and gino were going to have there issues when they happened maybe theres a bit of pressure on from management making them make mistakes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately accidents happen in speedway, and its a shame Scunny have had more than their fair share this season. Hopefully the injuries are not too bad and everyone is fit and riding again very soon. This applies to all those who are presently riding through the pain barrier such as Steve Worrall and our own Rene Bach and Ty Proctor. They certainly put the likes of premier league footballers to shame. As Scaramanga has already said, nobody was knocked off, apart from young Kyle you could say. The crashes tonight were what I would call racing incidents where the riders were totally committed, which is what supporters want to see, rather than people tootling around at the back for a couple of laps before pretending they have a mechanical issue when they miss the gate (mentioning no names here, but we all know one or two). There was some great speedway tonight from 2 very committed teams and Scunny deserve a lot of credit and probably a point. I certainly wouldn't have begrudged them one. Jake Allen in particular was superb, ably backed up by Steve Worrall and Jason Garrity. For the Comets everyone chipped in, with a half fit Rene Bach being a trump card at reserve. Typical that young Kyle appeared to be on for 2 points (I know he got the points as the race was awarded) when he was clipped in the reserves race as it would have been great to cheer him over the line. It would have been interesting to see how he got on against Danny Phillips and Gino Manzares for the rest of the meeting as it could have been a turning point for him. Once again, shame on those who left before the lap of honour. Do they not appreciate what these guys go through to provide us with the entertainment and the points? Sorry, edited to point out how lucky we are to have Dan Bewley in our team. Absolute class.

SteelShoe Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah as stated very entertaining meeting provided by two committed teams. Hope the injured riders aren't too second hand and have no serious injuries. For the Scorpions Jake Allen caught the eye and had a couple of great battles with Ty which ended hinours even. There were also strong performances from Jason Garrity and Steve Worrall. Danny Philips improved slightly as the meeting wore on and was on the pace at the tail end of the meeting. Josh Auty combative as ever took a nasty one after being launched from the bike following contact with Mason Camptons back wheel which resulted in a trip to hospital. The Comets were solid right through with Dan Bewley the stand out. It hasn't taken him long to fully learn the track which is an indication of his sound racing brain. Great to watch last night on track obviously prepared to his liking. It was great to see the committed performances from Rene and Ty following recent heavy knocks, tough cookies these speedway riders. Big wraps to Steve Lawson on the track condition ,top notch.

Just an opinion, folks! You really are something else !! Do you actually think riders are deliberately taking Scunny riders off ? You’re more of a muppet than I first thought . Manzares excluded , taking Kyle out , cause of the stoppage , Auty excluded cause of the stoppage, there’s you’re answer . Worky currently level on points with Scunny but with 5 matches in hand , what’s next on Godreys agenda ...cause his plans are’nt quite paying off yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Sad to see Rene Bach riding as a reserve, it doesnt seem to long ago that he, along with Larsen, looked like being the next big Dane. He was sensational back in 2009/2010 and a 9 point rider in a stronger league. seems to of never recovered properly from that horrendous smash he had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the question mark? ........................I suppose, in the perfect English language, I should have put "It looks like" instead of "Are" But we ALL post perfect English on here, don't we. People read what they perceive is posted & do not get the tone as a post can be taken a different way than when it is spoken. "are you suggesting that due the above mentioned, teams are knocking Scunthopre riders off? if you are that i think is one of the most stupid posts ive ever read " Where did I post knocking riders off? I said "forcefull" meaning being blocked, taken to the fence, sliding your back wheel out, taking the same line, etc similar to how N Pedersen used to ride & how F Lindgren has been doing recently. "but they did take themselves out you could see both auty and gino were going to have there issues when they happened maybe theres a bit of pressure on from management making them make mistakes" Again, I posted "Are our riders trying too hard" making up for riders not scoring points. All the riders are trying but you need a bit of luck & confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.N.Other Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Wow ! What a fantastic night of racing last night ! It is a LONG time since I saw two absolutely committed teams compete like they did. It is incredulous to see such a low attendance though. Those that chose not to attend, have missed one of the most exciting meetings for a long time. This was one meeting that contained the sort of racing that the "Premiership" would LOVE to see each week I am sure. Not to mention our league ! Dan Bewley was HEART STOPPING in some of his moves..not to mention Ty. Thanks lads, for putting on such a fantastic heart pumping meeting. Here's to a few more ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Mr Godfrey has not had an Agenda but seems to be the Spokesperson for the BSPA. Last year, Whenever Buster made a comment, he was lambasted as people thought it was his idea but he was speaking up for the BSPA as a group as Godfrey has done in the past. The Friday fixture situation was explained in the SS the other week but people will still make their own assumptions. I am pretty sure Mr Godfrey can look after himself. Whether right or wrong, we all post opinions on here as that is what a forum is for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was very disappointed with the crowd last night, though I realise that it is holiday season. Last night was almost like our season starting over after yet another break in our fixtures, we were up against very good well matched opposition, we were at full strength (though some were struggling with knocks), we have our best 'team' for ages, we are watching a young local star in the making and even the weather was good. What more do the people of West Cumbria want, and what is going to get them back to DP ? Laura and Co. must be wondering the same and be seriously thinking about why they bother. For the loyal few, I feel we are going to have to make the most of the next few hectic weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Peet saying in his report . it was a close battle between josh and mason campton and in the end josh ran out of room and BAILED OUT . the decision could have gone either way . but it was just a racing incident . can anyone tell me how josh BAILED OUT over the handlebars after running out of room and hitting g Masons rear wheel . also how could the decision have gone either way . Peet needs to go the vision express and tell not what he thinks he saw ! kyle could have been on for the best meeting ever . , had the beating of both scunny reserves .

topaz325 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The decision could have gone either way......hmmm baffling As many others have said a great nights racing , I thought the crowd level was ok especially for a late start and running on an off night and with no continuity of the fixtures. Regarding the fixtures....it was always going to happen if we are to fit all the home matches in but running two home meetings on the same weekend in late August is not good for the fans or the promotion, well done the BSPA. Hopefully the weather will be kind or it could see us missing out in the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Holidays and perhaps even the rugby in the afternoon could have put people off i cant get every week because of work so thats 5 of us missing multiple that a few times and u can see why the crowd would be down , but lets be honest all sports in the area struggle to get paying fans yet when they are gone people will shout nothing for the young ones to do !
