Birmingham have got 4 former Scunny riders, this could be a lot closer than some think. Agree, the easier on paper teams look, the more we seem to make hard work of. Hopefully no potential banana skin and we kick on from last Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Can you still just turn up and pay at the turnstiles, or do you have to pre-book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Auty has been taken to Hospital tonight at Birmingham. Be a shame if he misses out on a return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 If Auty is missing & with 4 meetings due to take place Friday this would only leave guests from Poole, Plymouth & Oxford out of which this would eliminate a lot of the top riders due to the make up of their teams being built top end heavy. Only 2 riders spring to mind. MPT, but he is on a concussion break & Barker, another of our old boys. They could go r/r giving Ellis & any one below (Shanes, Morris, Nielsen & Pearson) extra rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 It wasn't there before so must be the latest news of a suspected broken leg meaning possibly a long spell on the side lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the fans it spoils a decent looking meeting too with several former Scorpions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScunnyDan Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Despite the scoreline being a comfortable win for the Scorpions - the Brummies really played their part in a decent meeting. Did anyone watch it on Scorpions TV (interested in your opinions) Expected more from Stefan tbh, but we all have them days hey. Good luck to the Brummies for the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldtimerRay Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 An excellent meeting on another cold night which Birmingham played their part, the efforts of Ashley Morris and James Shane’s deserved more points but Stefan Nielsen rode like he had never been to Scunny before, Zaine Kennedy was my man of the match and won’t be reserve for long.

IronScorpion Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 I said, previously, that Jake was missing a bit of grunt & speed from his bikes & Falcon said his season will start this weekend. Well, Rob said he had a new engine & the improvement was evident even protecting his partner Jordan when required. Strength in depth was a positive point even though the track must have been slightly different from last weeks second half of the meeting as we did not see the speed on the inside line from Lambert & Kinsley. Birmingham played their part with Shanes & Morris always on the heals of our riders. I expected more from Nielsen, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Not a bad meeting at all. I watched it on the streaming and was quite impressed with the presentation ( although the commentator needs to curb his repeated use of the phrase "y'know) which he included in virtually every sentence!) Another smallish issue was the way when everything went totally quiet when there were breaks for the interval and track grading - but these are minor points and I don't doubt that the organisers will put these to rights as they go along. As a Birmingham supporter, I concede that Scunthorpe were the better team and thoroughly deserved their win - although I thought that the three 5-1 wins to them from the last four races, rather distorted the score a bit. I was well pleased with James Pearson's first race win in heat two, which I think underlines his undoubted potential. A couple of our riders didn't do so well, but overall, I thought both teams contributed to a good night's racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
