Bandit59 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Good effort from Bandits, last heats again doing us,poor performance from our new captain, would be interested to know if it was as good a match as Edinburgh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 First team to take a point there (not including the KO Cup vs Leicester)… who’d have thought that?! It seems a case of so close again for us though… heat 13 continuing to be a torrid heat… but in general, chuffed with a point! I had us down for a right beating!

I thought we would scare 38 so a nice bonus to score 43 and nick a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 A well deserved point in all honesty with Gappmaier a real surprise for many in our stand Adam Ellis still to find a decent set up so could do with a bit of practice time. The track did not do us any favours, though, with the inside line fastest as the meeting progressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah have to agree about us not really having as such an advantage due to the fastest line being around the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan555 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Right I’m just gonna put this out here shoot me down if you want but I think we should replace Josh Macdonald with Ryan Kinsley believe it would work in the averages and think that Ryan deserves it and would be more consistent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Good meeting Gappmeire surprised everyone with his score ; but I think the turning point was heat 12 I think the Berwick team manager should have put Leon Flint in instead of Kyle Bickley. As a Scunny fan that was the turning point solid everywhere but Jordan came to the table and a good 3 pts in the end , McDonald’s form is worrying but he was injured last week so hope he comes good. What we need to remember the Scorpions were favourites for the wooden spoon. . Enjoy the journey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the updates it sounds like you had to pass us a lot of the time! So that comment sounds a bit derogatory towards us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunthorpe got the maximum they could ............... 3pts for the win. We do NOT want to go back to the old style 2pts for win, 3pts for win by 8? or more, suiting technical tracks or unfair track preparation. Berwick deserved their point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with that, I think the points system worked really well and provided jeopardy and last heat deciders where the away team could 'steal' one the home team's points. Giving the hone team a guaranteed three points for a win was a backward step IMO and the reasoning for it was pretty lame IIRC. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was expecting heavy showers around 6-7pm, which we didn't get. The track was prepped so if that rain came, we would still have been ok to run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
