eric i Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Is this Ryan Douglas's last meeting in Scunthorpe colours? If it is I am surprised nothing has been said by the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already a Scunthorpe legend, and I am sure he will be back in the future if not next season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You work out the rules,Lambert had an assessed average but was allowed to guest because of a previous MA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest, the fact that Tarasenko can't guest for Kemp will please Rob Godfrey's wallet more than it does any Poole fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people in any great numbers watch rugby? A fraction of what watch the football. Yes a lot more than watch speedway but probably wouldn’t affect the crowd by more than a handful.

I have a lot of friends who are big sports fans but think only one of them is actually looking forward to watching it. I love sport myself and watch many sports but rugby isn’t one of them. Tried to watch a match with England recently when a player got sent off for accidentally clashing heads with an opposition player. A nonsense call, as are so many of the rules in that sport. Hard to watch and even if it didnt clash with the speedway I wouldn’t watch it. I know it has a following and some like it but it doesn’t have a decent following compared to the footy. If I as given free tickets for Twickenham I wouldn’t go. But that’s just me. Rather watch footy, cricket, speedway. Same goes for American Football. Attended a match once at Wembley New England v Tampa Bay. Was boring and nearly left at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any effect on today's attendance is more likely to be 'freeze your proverbials off in the sunshine at speedway or sit in the comfort of your warm home watching the National Team in a World Cup'?

Don't watch American Football personally but I like Rugby and the world cup has been good and now we are at the quarter final stage so getting more exciting. They are trying to stop the head clashes which is good but go too far sometimes. Anyway the meeting could affect the crowd but hopefully not too much. Rain maybe the winner wednesday looking at the forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
