You could start to do away with it if there was enough meetings in the Championship to do that. But would need 2/3 meetings at least every single week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them as a team that will be challenging for the playoffs and will potentially make it based off of home form. Deffo no no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had tracks in London, I regularly attended Wimbledon, Hackney and Crayford. You knew which night of the week they ran and didn't need to check the fixture list as they ran every week. Len Silver made a point of 'Make it a date, Friday at eight' and that is exactly what the fans did. The same weekly format was the norm throughout the country so it meant riders were on average racing one home and one away meeting every week during the season. How the promotions get things back to that is a major problem to which I don't have any real answers. Back in the 60s and 70s supporters would arrive in equal numbers for league, KO Cup, local derby challenges and individual meetings. These days many are only interested in league matches and don't even support a second team in a lower league (Oxford being a notable exception). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer Posted December 6, 2024 Report Share Posted December 6, 2024 I for one am grateful that Scunthorpe are back again for another year. Whether they win or lose is a mute point because normally you are guaranteed a great night of racing. Too many on this forum (across all teams) are negative and critisise everything including general issue related to speedway, that also includes Rob and the management team, but I and every real speedway supporter who goes to Scunthorpe knows that Rob will do everything to keep speedway going irrespective of where it is. Lets get rid of the team blinkers and remember that speedway was and can be again a great family sport where everyone can go along, feel safe and enjoy some excitement on a track that is conducive to racing. Don't keep being negative, it does not help, if you want to critisise offer a solution, it's easy to moan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Would have had a larger audience if it was on the club website, not everyone is on Farcebook. Have we not got a Press Officer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Was thinking of coming to Scunthorpe for CLRC and the Redcar match. Just seen some news about M181 being closed (I know this is this weekend), and then some lane closures. Can any locals tell me if this affects the route to Scunthorpe, coming via M1. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago If the M181 is still closed the A18 runs parallel to the M180 and will bring you out at the end of the M181 i.e. Next to Tesco Extra. Alternative is to go past M181 junction and follow Scunthorpe East , but this is a longer route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
