Scunny v Redcar


Recommended Posts

I will do a Steve Shovlar take on this. :rolleyes:

A potential banana skin meeting as Redcar will be seeking an improvement in form & result so will want to turn us over. Wright, I expect, will be their leader & have been strengthened with the inclusions of Gilkes for Knudsen & Zischke as a guest for King. With Edwards being a danger as well, we will need to be on it & not be complacent. If Redcar are on it then it could be a score of 43 - 47 either way. If not, then it could be a 57 - 33 score line. :t: :D

Making my first visit to Scunthorpe since before the pandemic, despite it being a nice day, I'll wrap up well as I always remember it being cold lol!

Can you pay by card at Scunny? Ta

Yes

Have they said when King is coming back yet? 

He's hoping to have a spin after the Glasgow meeting.

Ref was very slow to put on the red lights in heat 7 when Ablitt fell. Can the track staff just put their flags out of they think the refs not doing his job properly?

I don’t think the track staff can put out the Red flag until the Red light comes on. The Referee is in control of meeting, it is his responsibility to get things right.

I guess if a track staff member was that concerned about a riding & put the flag out before the red light, the worst that would happen is losing their no doubt voluntary job.

Refs done the complete opposite now, out the red lights on immediately when Zischke fell, while it did look bad, he was quickly up & cleared the track. Had the ref waited for half a laptop see if he was moving, may have made a different decision.

Plus it was last lap and Wright was well in front, should have been awarded.

Then a 5-1 in the re-run. Didn’t affect the overall result but poor refereeing imo.

Some very good racing despite the score line and the delays caused by the tape issues. Very inconsistent refereeing didn’t help things but Scunthorpe were always well in control and always looked like comfortable winners.

Few bright spots for the Bears, Wright battled as always and Bailey looked much better as the meeting went on. Gilkes had one excellent ride. Zischke had a fantastic first race then tailed off.

Scunthorpe are strong at home and Howarth seems to have upped his performance. Could even afford an off night for Lambert and win easily.

Scunthorpe are a good side at home. I was surprised by the guest choice but meh looks like it is going to be one of those seasons. 

Big match tomorrow for Redcar. It is winnable for sure and hopefully when Danny King gets back he can inject some more points scoring into the collective.

This is depressing!

Some fantastic racing... credit to both teams. Shame about the tapes fiasco though,  somewhat ruined a good meeting..

Poor refereeing,  shocking.  Hope that's the last we see of Seth Perkin at Scunny for a while.
