Maybe they were looking to blame something for their shortcomings. Never heard Worrall or Lawson complain mind. Lawson said after the meeting and in the post-meeting report that the track was not how they expected it to be! Reckons it'll be different (better?) for next Wednesday!

Can't write Poole off yet....Joe Thompson needs to get his act together on his return to Scunthorpe....could play a big part in the recovery!

He has put as many laps around it since he was a kid than anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint dave Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just thought if the meeting at Scunny ends 45 -45 does that mean there will be 2 super heats, one for the win and one for the aggregate score. Also if so and poole win them both that will mean that poole will have 5 league points and scunny 2. When the aggregate score from both meetings was 90-90. Seems a bit bizarre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh1218 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I think a lot of Poole fans were expecting a big win , but fair play to the Scunny 7 riders for getting a draw away from home . But big credit to Rob Godfrey Scunthorpe promoter who has taken a massive gamble by agreeing to Poole away and Edinburgh away before a home tie in the playoffs . So a win away at Edinburgh tomorrow would be very nice before racing 2 matches at home . Good luck to the Scorpions and hope King Ryan stays injury free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 MPT don’t see what Promoters see in him,very unpredictable From race too race,and has too many meetings where he is not at the races at all,and doesn’t put in any effort.Definately weak link IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 The weather has been almost perfect for track prep, I think Poole know the scunny riders like a bit of grip in the track so they prepared it on the slick side but its always risky changing from normal track prep.

Steve Shovlar Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Nothing wrong with the track. Slick and smooth. Needed more dirt imo but the riders obviously wanted it like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as Lynn goes, enough is enough, as with a few more of them from this season imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving & mechanicing takes it out of you in mental preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance Bobby Beaton never had a full time mechanic or driver and managed to get to Hull for home meetings and to away meetings from Scotland.

Back in the day riders had one bike, did their own mechanics and driving and the majority held down a job as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
