Scunthorpe v Eastbourne 4th June


Recommended Posts

Is anyone aware who is replacing Drew Kemp whilst he, along with Anders Rowe and Dan Gilkes, are representing GB in the u19 pairs on Saturday? - On the Eastbourne website it is listed as TBA. Also  they have him down as riding v Kent on Sunday whilst on the Kent website he and Dan Gilkes are listed as missing this meeting - somewhat confused am I :rolleyes:

Eastbourne are now posting that Nathan Ablitt will replace Drew Kemp at the Eddie Wright Raceway tomorrow - He’s a good young lad new into the Seagulls team who you should enjoy watching - not sure if he has practised there before.

On paper looks like an Eagles 4 match points tally.

With all of them in form and Brennan looking like a 4th Heat Leader it will be a monumental task for the Scorpions particularly if Kennett has solved his mechanical problems.

Delighted to see  they  are replacing Kemp with Nathan Ablitt.  Another very promising lad who no doubt  will be over the moon riding in the CL and probably again on Sunday..

PLEASE note there are still roadworks on Normanby Road, right outside the Eddie Wright Raceway, so please leave extra travelling time for Scorpions v Eastbourne tonight (7.30pm). Thank you!

Thomas Jorgensen is all set to ride for Attis Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions against Eagles, despite a heavy crash at Ipswich last night, which left him as badly winded.

Drew named for Sunday against Kent.

As I mentioned earlier Richard Drew is named as riding on the Eastbourne website but along with Dan Gilkes they are both named as non starters on the Kent website and Jack Thomas will guest for Dan - somewhat confused am I - can anyone help? -

May be one for the Referee that; if 2 riders have ridden in same meeting and one gets back and the other can't be bothered....might spice things up a bit!!

Another difficult home meeting for us & I expect it to be tight.(47-43 either way, hard to call but we don't want a last heat decider against Kerr & Lawson). :wink: 

 We have had a difficult last week but hope the riders have got their issues sorted.

Auty ......... injured knee & no1 bike damaged

Jorgy ........winded last night in a heavy fall

Aarnio ...... machinery issues

Palin ......... no1 bike returned to pits in tractor bucket at Belle Vue Monday

four of us Brummies fans were supposed to be going to Redcar but the M1 was shut due to an accident and it was mayhem. With our eta going from 17.45, to 20.30,  and still being in queuing traffic, 85 miles from Redcar, we gave up and diverted to Scunthorpe.
The meeting went through at a rapid rate of knots! It was a cracking meeting. 
Jordan Palin  is an outstanding prospect 

why are people asking for Aarnio to be dropped? He had a good meeting. Give these lads chance, they’ve had the best part of 18 months off. Give them time to get going before you sack them!!

seen a lot of gloomy predictions on here about your final league position but on the evidence of tonight, you won’t lose many at home so no way it’s going to be as bad as the doom merchants are predicting. 
sit back and enjoy seeing young Palin  progress. He was worth the admission money on his own tonight !!!

Wise words pal and yes Palin is going to be special, he’s from a good family who should keep his feet on the ground and focussed
