Anyone who thinks that is an idiot!! Indeed.... If they did it for free then that is "for our entertainment".... For so many it is their only job so they are professional sportsmen investing in very expensive kit to deliver a much greater return in earnings.... A "risky profession" no doubt, but so is Boxing, MMA, Skiing, Other motor sports etc... Not to mention Firefighting, Police, and the Armed Services... None of the above anyone does "for our entertainment"... Some do it for the money, some for the adrenaline rush... No more than that. .. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Scunny had the majority of race winners.. enough to normally win a meeting... the obvious weak links cost us tonight, too many 0's on the scorecard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Entertainment, money, a hobby, a job, a career All different reasons or a combination of reasons as to why a rider takes up speedway. I'm a personal friend of an ex rider and he never enjoyed racing so he tells me. I know a couple of young riders in the NL, one sees it more as a hobby as he as a job &; the other one sees it more as a professional career. Nearly all riders entertain after the race as finished, Skornicki with his doughnuts, the late Danny Ayres , Zorro etc etc Respect to all that cock their leg over Edited April 27, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Fair play to Scunny on getting a hard earned point. Douglas is proving to be a proper number 1, as expected, but Aarnio really seems to have turned a corner! Kennedy is looking useful too. There’s obviously still some weak links but maybe when Lambert drops to reserve he’ll start firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 If MPT is back for Friday and Lawson is guesting, then Plymouth look very strong opposition at the EWR. Quite ironic that Lambo, Palin and Kinsley probably had more laps around the Gladiators track in the past, but scored so few points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the final score does flatter Scunny, once the Gladiators knew they couldn't be beaten they seamed to drop their guard. It also appeared that mid meeting "Chairman" Godfrey took control of track grading & lack of watering giving the visiting team the track advantage! All in all yet another enjoyable meeting @ the coliseum, could be an interesting meeting ahead on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 pointed that Plymouth "gifted" Scunthorpe then, could prove to be crucial at the end of the season for the play off positions. I wouldn't have thought that an away promoter/manager would be allowed to take control of grading & watering unless asked whether he be the "Chairman" or not.

Especially when you think the 2 teams could be in similar positions! Might be the difference between 6th and 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Since when the hell did Ben Barkers 2 wheels ever go anywhere near over the white line in heat 3??? Even that point dropped there in heat 3 gave Scunny the league point at the end of the night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 The only time he gets remotely close to the white line is coming off bend 4, but even then he doesn't get close to BOTH wheels crossing the white line...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Plymouth haven't had much luck with referee's decisions so far this season - this one had a direct effect on the match outcome. Due a rub of the green I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
