Robinh88 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Another impressive away showing from Scunthorpe. A bit of bad luck especially missing MPT. They will be in the play offs comfortably come September no problem. Shame 'Flying-Ryan' stopped when he did in Heat 15. Wright chasing him like a man possessed after initially passing Jake Allen. Very impressed with Connor Bailey tonight carrying on from his victory last week. Also pleased to see Erik Riss getting back to something like himself. Hopefully he can finish the season well and should be on a good average for next season. Danny King - surprised if he will be at Redcar next season personally. Missing again when it really matters. Next week will be a cracker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Decent enough meeting, Scunny might feel slightly hard done by but think just about a fair result. Heat 15 was a cracker, think Wright would have got Douglas anyway but will never know! Wright excellent for Bears and good to see Riss get back to something like we know he can. Could tell how much that heat win meant to him. Bailey keeps getting better and better, paid 10 riding at three is excellent return. Edwards blowing a bit hot and cold at the minute, but big ride in heat 14. Harrison is very much on the pace and getting better with every ride - reminds me a bit of early season Mulford where givong everyone 30 yards at the start but that will come. Encouraging to see him out straight after the meeting with King helping him out. Douglas excellent got Scunny as always, Allen started slowly but came to the party and Mountain also good value, thankfully for us Lambert had a poor night! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Gotta say I'm very disappointed when I read "league takes priority" as it ends up meaning we don't care about the Cup & are happy to race the semis & finals in October imo. When I saw such a blank fixture list I thought, at least we won't have the same situation as last year, with all the finals being raced in October / November (or not at all). Thankfully the BSN is complete early, which is a nice change. I'm not sure of the logic of most clubs being very busy in August, did they not anticipate needing spare dates in case of bad weather? It's no good having a empty May & June if July turns out to be wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Fixtures are always prone to be changed due to ‘priorities’, in this case the clubs were told to get BSN out of the way first, then told to get early cup rounds completed by a set date now they are being told to prioritise the league, it’s not the individual club that changes them to suit ,it’s dictated and I mean that literally , by the BSPL. Always going to cause issues for the Friday night tracks particularly those who have ‘seniority’ and impose dates on the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
