scunny1 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Scorpions with Normal 1 to 7, as MPT's leg injury now ok. Monarchs using the Thompson twins as guests making them stronger around the EWR. We all know how well Picko goes around are track, so should be an entertaining evening. Hoping for a Scorpion convincing win, to extend our season a little longer.

This was brought in to stop riders pulling a sicky at a track they don’t like riding at , can anyone clarify this ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So had Howarth claimed to be ill on Sunday rather than injured he'd have had to miss Wednesday's match (and the two Sheffield fixtures, and Friday v Edinburgh)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Pickering not riding for Edinburgh next year because he wants to concentrate on Poland and doesn't want the travelling. Sheffield to Scunthorpe is a lot easier than traveling to Edinburgh. Godfrey should put some big money on the table to get Pickering, he is a class act round the EWR.

scunny1 Posted September 20 Author Report Share Posted September 20 I think club comes first, as they pay the wages. Individual meetings should come after team events are complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree ,we have missed a big hitter like Pickering in heats 13 and 15. The curse of the number 1 position (apart from Douglas ) has always been a problem for us to maintain.

Picko not doing Championship at all in 2025. I know he said the same last year in hope that a Polish contract materialised. It didn't. However he has one in place for 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's before you consider what is the philosophical difference between the two. [Consider Ryan Douglas and his infected wound - the wound (an injury) didn't stop him riding, but the infection (an illness) did - so should his absence be regarded as through injury or illness?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that, is riders who are genuinely injured, then have to wait to return, meaning more unnecessary guests - at a time when people say there are far too many. Or they could even attempt to ride when not fit & be a danger to others because they don't want to miss a big meeting. I do agree more should be done to stop riders picking & choosing meetings, but where do you draw the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is nothing changes.Riders dictate.They have the upper hand in Uk because of the rider shortage.Like to see the same riders try that in Poland.Their feet wouldn’t touch the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had last season too but ultimately was back. Doesn’t sound like it’s on the cards for 2025 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
