Guest WTF1 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Didn't think there was a thread for this meeting, not much interest, should be another close meeting, be interesting to see how Danny Ayres goes although must be better than our last Danny and that's not cockney rhyming slang, strangely the 2nd leg is not until June 14th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Edinburgh only agreed to this Sunday and a Sunday in August for their fixtures at the EWR. A meeting I think the Scorpions should win fairly comfortably... 52-38 scunny win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 From what I have heard, Edinburgh, being the senior Friday night team, were not prepared to give up a Friday later in the season so we fitted it in as & when we could with the dates available on a Sunday not following a Stock car meeting. With Edinburgh only having a meeting last night, we might catch them cold but hoping for a 20-25 point win. It will take some doing with it being Danny's first meeting but hoping the reserves kick on from last week. A 15 point haul from our bottom 3 would be ideal.

JanAndersen Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Comfortable victory for the blue and gold. Done and dusted by ht10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hopefully we can keep it reasonably close, will take about a 14 point defeat, should be able to turn that around at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Despite the optimistic propaganda appearing on the Monarchs website, on the basis of the poor performance of four of the Monarchs team on Friday, imo, the Monarchs will get thrashed by 20+ today at the EWR. Unless Wells suddenly gets in the groove and Andersson recovers from being "unwell" on Friday , it may well be Pickering & Heeps who will provide the main scoring for the Monarchs. Given Sedgmen had a couple of meetings already under his belt before Friday, he looks like a rider who is on a downward spiral. Re Lawson, it appears he has not made any significant investment in upgrading his uncompetitive 2018 kit, which was evident on Friday as he continued to lose ground to others on the straights. Given his father also is still mechanicing for him, I doubt if he is really treating riding Speedway seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help when Sheffield are racing away as today they are at Newcastle, alot of their supporters come down to Scunny to watch decent racing.

Al Stewart Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 As it turned out, way too pessimistic. Much improved Edinburgh performance, very good meeting and two thrilling rides to finish with by William Lawson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I know it was cold but no track grading cost Scunny points, the dirt had gone too wide by about heat 10 and then it became a ride the white line track. With the riders Scunny have there should always be a wide line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Some decent action, racing got better as the meeting progressed. Good win for Scunny but fear the margin of victory could be 20 points short. Well done to the all the riders and referee for swiftly getting on with the meeting … bitterly cold afternoon, meeting done and dusted in hour and 10 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Good result for us wasn’t expecting to get as much as 41 tbh. Especially with some of the boys still under performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
