Scunthorpe v Oxford 1st leg semi final


Recommended Posts

Don't know what's happening with our Press Officer, who also happens to be involved with Oxford, but nobody can be bothered to start a  new topic?? With Heeps back in the line up, this will be a close one to call. For Scorpions, we need  a much better team effort and MPT plus Ablitt need to score more. We are so inconsistent, this could be a right drubbing, or a good lead to take to Oxford in the 2nd leg. Anybody's guess which way tonight's match will go.

First time I've seen a meeting from there,  enjoyed it, the track lends itself to some decent racing,  Scott Nicholls still has all the moves, great to see him sending it round the boards,  I bet Bomber is a sight to behold on that track.

Most enjoyable meeting with good racing from both sides. Over the season I must say that Ashton Boughen has been the most impressive British youngster who is very early in his career.

He has produced some excellent moves to pass experienced riders. Oxford have a great prospect on their books.

Cracking meeting, was hoping for a Scunny win to make the second leg more interesting. Young Luke Harrison showed some of his senior riders up tonight well done young Skywalker. MPT is an enigma these days. Congrats to Oxford who fought back well from 10 down with some determined racing.

Scunthorpe have been really disappointing in their last couple of big matches losing at home to Poole and then Oxford.

I really thought they'd be strong enough to at least win at home, even if they'd struggle on aggregate, due to being weaker away.

After a strong season at home, very poor show when they needed their riders to step up.

From a neutrals point of view means the BSN final will be a no contest too.

Very poor performance from certain riders!  Can't believe being 10points up after 4 heats and Rob grades the track!  Should have left it alone like he nearly always does. After track grade, we went backwards. Yet again we do all the hard work on the bends for away riders to breeze past on the straights.  Lets pray for rain and a heavy track at Oxford next week for any chance of going through to the final.

Scorpions next year have to go back to the drawing board Lambert's a guarantee as he's part of the furniture you'd probably say Allen is worth his place and Harrison definitely but other then that start from Scratch, Palm Toft, Howarth, Mountain and Ablitt have reached their level and won't improve anymore.

Think you're being harsh on Ablitt as he's just had his best season in the sport.
