lucifer sam Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 2 minutes ago, Jaizer said: If that's the case can you explain why Scunthorpe's home fixture with Glasgow was raced on a Sunday not a Friday? Due to a mistake in the original fixture list. At which point, Scunthorpe decided to stick with it, because it allowed the British Youth Championship Round to be spread over both that and the following week's Edinburgh meeting. Scunthorpe surrendered Friday nights so both Glasgow and Redcar could stick to their normal race-night (co-operation between managements), but the Glasgow one was rained off and ended up on a Sunday.

Tbh I think you're wrong. I believe Scunthorpe used to have priority but moved to a Sunday race night and then back to Friday thus giving up the seniority they previously had over us. I may be wrong but that's how I remember it and fixture list bears me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but that's how I remember it and fixture list bearss me out. Scunthorpe moved back to Fridays first, Glasgow moved to Saturdays and then Fridays if you recall. I know that Scunthorpe have second priority. There is such a thing as co-operation between promotions, and Scunthorpe agreed to let both Glasgow and Redcar ride Scunthorpe at home on a Friday this year. You will note that Redcar's home meeting with Scorpions was also in the fixture list as a Friday all along, despite Scorpions having priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see if or when the situation arises But looking at updated site 2018, 2019, 2021 Scunthorpe's home meetings with Glasgow have all been on Sundays. Edited September 26, 2021 by Jaizer .

Year met Edinburgh in play offs they were above us in table away leg Friday as Edinburgh seniority home leg on our alternative race day. If that's 2016 you're referring to, Glasgow staged the first leg at Ashfield on the Friday night. The second leg took place 24 hours later at sunny Armadale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 So Scunthorpe will be taking on the only team they haven't defeated this season in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Leicester it is, I assume Dan Thompson is on 8 day ban for non speedway related illness. If we have the home leg on Friday that means R/R, zaine kennedy(11+1 last time) will take 3 of his rides and Howarth the other. If we arrange home leg on sunday Dan will probably be back (scored 0 last time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
