KIRKYLANE Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 The delay was frustrating for all concerned. Hope Rory is able to be back reasonably soon. However the racing was good quality reminding me of the times that I regularly went to Scunthorpe even though it was a long journey from Llandudno.

Meaning the deal had already been done. Still, with his Leicester connections you'd have thought he'd have been aware of things happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bikes now are faster then previous years, they race on a track with shale on it with usually 4 riders coming into the first bend with a limited space for the machines so there is always going to be crashes and injuries . I’ve watched racing at over 40 tracks in Britain over the years and the chances of serious injuries occurs at all of them .Your digs are always aimed at Scunthorpe or there promotion and is getting tedious I would like to wish Rory all the best in his recovery and hope to see him on a track soon as he has been a brilliant servant to British speedway and first watched him as a 16 year old at Sheffield. Thanks for your, for a change and for the most part, thought out reply Tosh(pot)1218. I actually quite enjoy my trips to Scunny, on the rare occasion that things run smoothly. It can't be coincidence that these things keep happening time and time again at Scunthorpe. You've got a great race track, the most dangerous fence in the leagues, one of the worst penny pinching promoters and some of the daftest fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sits behind Berwick's fence? What sits behind Scunthorpe's fence? It's all about energy Absorption and dissipation Edited June 8 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the incident was originally an emergency response by the local NHS trust but once the track medics had made Rory comfortable at the pits this was downgraded by the NHS to not critical so hence the delay as it was downgraded and we at track side waited for the local ambulance to arrive which did and I presume Rory was taken to the biggest hospital locally Hull Royal over the Humber Bridge . Im sure people attending like myself were put out a little bit but Rory ‘s health and treatment is more important at times like this . Hope Rory has a full & speedy recovery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling you a tosspot, but if you hadn't have started off with an abusive post maybe we could have had a civilised debate. I'm not disputing anything that happened after the incident, it was what it was... it just keeps happening at Scunthorpe though because your "safety" fence isn't up to muster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 53 minutes ago, phillwhitewasmad said: You can't prove that it's just your opinion Yes, it is my opinion... I doubt that any energy absorption tests have been carried out at any of the tracks with their different combination of fence construction. It would be interesting to see those results if tests have been carried out. It's common sense that an airbag in front of a springy wire mesh fence is going to be a hell of a lot better than a foam bag in front of a metal fence in front of a solid wall of soil or concrete.

Ricky Ashworth, Steve Worrell and quite a few more with broken bones they wouldn't have received at other tracks. Its not ‘the fence’ its what ‘the fence’ is attached too, ARMCO barrier and a earth mound, no give whatsoever, which is why the SCB Refs reports had the track rated as the worst for ‘faults’ in the country until the chairman changed the reporting system. Wonder why ? Dont get me wrong, the track itself always produces good racing but its outer fence construction, with steel beams sticking out and wire ropes is a joke for a speedway track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Ashworth highsided,, went over the handlebars and landed on the track... he didn't make direct contact with the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to research before spouting crap on forum's I've seen video of the crash and if there had been an air fence, which were prevalent at that time, Ricky Ashworth would not have sustained the injuries he did. There's also video footage of the Zaine Kennedy crash, again caused by there being no energy absorption or dissipation by Scunthorpe's so called "safety" fence.
