Fromafar Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Very weak Scunny side,but fair play to Lambert,Wright and Mountain they were busting gut in every ride and provided the entertainment.Though Jonus had his best home match(said he wasn’t 100% due to crash earlier in the week. The farce of the though ,Lawson helping Scunny getting a point last night then scoring max tonight against them.But Hey that’s speedway.

Tosh1218 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Was there tonight and yes Scunthorpe we’re woeful with regards Guest for the Scorpions ??? This weekend the fixtures completed are ones that have been rained off from earlier in the season ,so this weekend in Britain there were no fixtures scheduled and I expect riders have booked mini breaks or are resting injuries themselves and like a poster stated earlier they don’t have to honour any fixture to a club there not contracted to ??? . It will get very interesting as I’m sure in the play offs Guests can only be used from sides not in the play offs I think ?? . Back to tonight’s fixture for Berwick the new Dane looks a good prospect and for them Theo Pjyper fell into Jake Allen’s gang didn’t look interested or riding ther average done Whoever gets into the playoffs I wish them well and hope rider unavailability in the seasons finale doesn’t hinder sides as it will become who is willing to pay the highest for a guest . One last thing Berwick run a good show and without the time taken for a collection it was a good fair track and decent racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas has been in Poland since Friday morning. Between riding electric scooters through the streets on Friday afternoon to going to the GP today. Do I think he was injured enough to not ride probably not. Will he ride in Poland tomorrow probably yes. happens all to often these days unfortunately. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo95 Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Might be another meeting at Berwick if the website report is anything to go by (meeting report). Only bad thing about last night was Flinty and Jamie being interviewed with junior races going on. You missed half of what was being said (could the juniors not have waited for five minutes or interview when the races change over). Great to see another win to end the season on.

screm Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not the worst meeting you are likely to see but Scunthorpe were always on the back foot with turning up without a genuine No1 capable of winning races. The others did their best but were never in any danger of getting any points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a few riders may have burnt their bridges for guest money riding for the Scorpions in the future. I wish you were correct, but it seems the riders hold the power and Scunthorpe will almost certainly go back to the same riders who turned them down last night.

And uk speedway won’t invest Less riders per team would free up riders to cover.... Why run seven man teams when so few riders to go around? Run with six per team, (even five), and any rider missing out will invariably have at least one team to ride for as the majority double up, with many having four teams globally. . Add in a truly fit for purpose RR model and you won't need guests... For example.... Poland have a "decent No8" who covers the top five, with two juniors in each team.. The UK could run with five man teams and a "decent No6" who covers the top three, with two juniors in each team...
