False dawn Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Was thinking of going (starting from the Birmingham area) but I'll be taking an empty car. Anyone else fancy going and sharing petrol costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas, Simon Lambert, James Wright, Jake Allen, Tero Aarnio r/r, Adam Roynon, Anders Rowe. LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Dan Thompson r/r, Richie Worrall, Connor Mountain, Kyle Howarth, Joe Thompson, Max Clegg. All riders can take a ride for the Scorpions Worrall, Mountain and the reserves can ride for Thompson (Whose representing GB in Euro Under 19s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hope Lambert is not having intermittent carb problems tonight like he did Saturday. Will need a full check over, even if it could be our last meeting. Wright unsure but maybe out his depth. Douglas came off at Sheffield but back for re-run. A test for tomorrow with, hopefully, no ill effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m missing tomorrow hope the scorpion’s put a shift in as last weekend they were very good for 12 heats at Redcar and then capitulated and on the Saturday they were woeful at Berwick . My main concern is Jake Allen’s form ,here’s hoping a good meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'll back Scunthorpe to win this one, but not on aggregate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 This could be up to an 8 point win either way, although the outcome is unlikely to be of any significance. It would be good if the Lions middle and lower order can show that they can contribute away from BP ready for the play offs, even though Scunny is not a track they will visit again this season.

Hopefully everyone in the Lions camp will rally around Joe to help him overcome his dip in form. His points contribution for the remainder of the season will be important. If Joe can at least maintain his current average, I would be quite confident that silverware will be coming to BP this season. Recent performances suggest that others outside of the top three will be at the party. He may only be 18 but he will not like the idea that he may be considered a passenger. Come on Joe, one last push! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Joe, one last push! Joe will come of age one day. He's struggling but at home he's still a real asset. Think next year a move away could benefit him for his development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time you got into reality. Joe is consistently bad, how you can defend that is beyond me. Yes he is consistent in the cubs but it’s a completely different thing. Always the bridesmaid never the bride in the championship. He has made no progress this year, in fact he has gone backwards. You can deny it to yourself all you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those close to him have said that his head's not in the right place and i guess it can't help being constantly compered to his brother. He is clearly a better rider at Championship level than his current form suggests. Come on Joe, we know you have it in you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put 1 and a half points on his starting average... he'd be knocking on the door of being a heat leader at some clubs!

Unfortunately there always seems to be an endless list of excuses for Joes dire performances. He doesn’t need an arm round him he needs a kick up the arse. He’s had 1000’s invested into him it’s time he payed that back. How he’s still at Leicester I’ll never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
