Expand Yeah that’s what has angered me at Scunthorpe about him and why I’m not a huge advocate for having him back it’s crazy he’s averaging best part of 0.5 more for Sheffield ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I am embarrassed to see my team looking so weak. Injury to TJ aside, Ellis ,Arnio and Pjiper have let us down.

BrizHeathen Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Blimey, with all due respect to the riders in that Scunny lineup, it really is an awful way to treat the paying public and the Leicester promotion. This meeting was always going to lack interest because of the scoreline from the first leg but its taking the mick now. Godfrey should be fined for fielding an understrength team ...yeh right. Having said all of that, these kind of meetings often produce decent racing despite the scorelines, so fingers crossed for the sake of those attending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 It's puzzling why in both of the leagues play off's they've abandoned the use of tac-subs? This has basically killed off any interest in any of the play offs so far with the possible exception of the Peterborough vs Wolverhampton 2nd leg. BV v Sheff, Lions v Scunny and Edinburgh v Redcar are all effectively dead rubbers unless something remarkable happens. Why run a year long league competition with the use of tac-subs that gets your team in a position in the league to then ride in play-offs that don't allow the very rule that has helped you get there!!! Another piece of British Speedway madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
