Would Sunday be a better day, not up against the GP and would allow more away fans to travel. Crowds are noticeably worse at Scunny on a Sunday however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Friday night tracks are much more consistent than afternoon tracks at the EWR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Last thing we want is a slick track. We have racers who like to ride the fence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 put some more of that shale down on the track rather than leaving it on the "landing strip" on the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night racing is definitely much better. The track holds up better and more fans attend. But surely they have to plan assuming it’ll be a Friday night seeing as if they face Glasgow then they’ll probably use the Sunday as their home meeting.

I would race at home Friday,try and get a lead and then try and hold on away personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScunnyDan Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 This season, our crowds have been the best I've seen in years... Leicester cup, Poole and U19s probably the lowest ones (first two being weather related).. We could do with praying Leicester beat Glasgow today, then having Glasgow here on Friday, smash them (again) then doing enough to qualify for the next round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Promoters want their regular race night as this is night know means biggest crowds. Hopefully not required as we should beat Leicester or more likely it's rained off and can race it Friday Saturday with Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Does it really matter who is at home first in speedway. Scunthorpe will get beat over 2 legs by everyone as we are pants away or is it just another debating point by the key board warriors who want to have a go at Rob Godfrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar If that's the case can you explain why Scunthorpe's home fixture with Glasgow was raced on a Sunday not a Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
