IronScorpion Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Dave Peet mentioned it in this weeks SS about getting some laps in as some of the lads were rusty. I think it is more to do with too many of our lads disliking technical tracks like Leicester, Edinburgh, Kent, Plymouth in which we should have organised a private practice at Leicester in March as their track is similar to ours in access at any time of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So roughly half the away tracks Scunny riders can’t ride , doesn’t bode well then, I always find it a bit strange when the Scunny side is always set up to win most home meetings and to get hammered away because it is pointless making the playoffs as they are decided on a home and away match which Scunny has no chance to win on aggregate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of clubs just reaching the play-offs is considered a successful season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambition can bankrupt you and close you down in many sports... With Speedway being one of them that is particularly risky given the lack of any real financial remuneration for success when put up against the added money being paid out when you have a good season home and away.. Happiness Is 46-44.... And whatever happens away from home, happens... With many teams I would think being not too upset at the odd 30 to 35 point score now and again.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Douglas increases his average, as we thought, Aarnio & Kennedy but it means Lambert down to reserve from 1st May.
