Cue Ball Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Looks like we might possibly both be a man down for this fixture. Howarth and Garrity both failed to make it past turn 1 at Redcar in the British semi and have headed to hospital, fingers crossed they’re both ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Scunny have a few problems with their team even before tonight's Garrity injury. Allen might be back but if he's not I gather Ryan Douglas is on Standby to guest. Kyle Bickley booked to guest for Josh Bailey although after the sad passing of Kyle's Grandad I don't know if this effects anything.

Charlieboy Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Another potential difficult meeting for us.Its time every rider stepped their game up because the season will soon be over.Only the league to go for now so if we don't start to turn our fortunes round I can see crowds dropping off.Hopefully Kyle is fit hope he doesn't attempt one ride then pull out if he's not 100% we can't afford to carry anyone.

IronScorpion Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I am not sure how we were trying to get Bickley as a guest (conspiracy theories will start) as from 1/6 Bailey has dropped to 2.90 & Bickley is 3.11 Bad news for Howarth being out(possible a couple of weeks) & still no news on Garrity. Both exciting to see around Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) As Skj said Bowtell now guests Seems Todd Kurtz is guesting for Howarth Edited June 1, 2019 by Fozzie4388 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 If that is the best available guest for Sheffield, even though he has ridden for Sheffield, If Garrity is ruled unfit with either a suspected broken arm or wrist, which is all the info I have found, then if Allen is fit enough we could use Douglas for Garrity. Very quiet on the Scorpion side, though so is no news good news. We will wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Todd Kurtz knows the score, he knows how to ride Owlerton, Whoever the guest the outcome will still be the same. Scunny get ironed. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Rain radar has showers till around 5 & blowing to Scunthorpe & we have had the first of them. Just drizzle but enough to cause puddles. I used to keep an eye on the roads around the stadium via the traffic camera opposite the stadium near the Pizza Hut. This site has closed now though.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Sounds like a good meeting . Scorpians just ran out of steam. Will Sheffield be allowed a guest on Wednesday night ?

Cue Ball Posted June 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Not a good meeting from a Sheffield perspective - if Bowtell hadn’t taken a dislike to the back straight fence, Scunny would have been deserved winners. Still not really sure how we managed to win to be honest!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 If your going to lead a match once then at the end of Ht15 seems to be the ideal time, Sheffield did that so well done to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Star of the show - Danny Ayres. Would love to have seen him at Owlerton and would have been a hero for us. Some of the 'effort' put in by one or two home riders tonight was just not good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 We got out of jail again today .Ok we won but we are not winning enough races and running too many lasts.On paper the side looks balanced and most people were tipping us to romp the league but our main downfall is we can't gate and the track hasn't been conducive for passing.We can't blame the track today but it looks like a lack of confidence running through the team.Kasper has been a big let down,after last seasons away scores I expected him to kick on but he's gone backwards.Drew seems to shut off when people pass him and lacks the aggression that will come with experience.Ty always looked fast when he's rode against us but doesn't seem the same rider.Zaine had an off day but the ref got heat 2 decision wrong,Bowtell should have shut off if he'd got no room as Dave Peat once said to me the throttle works both ways !!!Brocs heat 14 was quality and shows what he can do.Danny was excellent again under pressure ant Thanks to Todd for stepping in and getting the crucial point.All in all we not good enough and either need to step up sharpish or the season ends again too early.5 wins out of 13 is very poor after all the promotion have done to promote the team this season.This set of riders owe the promotion and fans a lot more than their giving at present.Changes can't be far away but with Sunday racing it might be a big problem and limit choice .

Charlieboy Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Watching the interview with Danny King he's not happy having to win heat 15 every week to save the meeting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well not sure how we won that one, but well done in the end However we need changes if we are to get into the play offs, On an even better note we are on the way to getting the track sorted out, passing on the outside and inside tonight, long may it continue Pity Kyle was missing as that track would have sited him, but well don to Todd Kurtz, rode well and got us the points we needed in 13 and 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
