Obviously Erik’s cunning plan to “park  his bike to cause a crash” yesterday has backfired on him. (I’m being sarcastic just in case anyone takes this literally)

 

But he did injure another rider

Just been told, card or cash to get in, any spends inside is cash only.

See if the Glasgow fans are twining about cash only on the inside like they were at Workington yesterday!!

The ones stood near us done nothing but complain, cash only no spirits and not to mention they think they don’t have to queue and just try and jump it!! Horrible entitled minority giving the rest of them a bad name!

It's been confirmed by Scunthorpe's social media you can use Card to get in but everything else, Drinks, Food etc is cash only

Can't comment on the above as i didn't see any of that ,but myself and my mates had no issue with the cash only policy as prior warning had been given.

My first visit at Northside yesterday and it is a tidy setup, very impressed enjoyable day out and will certainly return when we are down later in the season.

The other rider injured him according to the Referee 🤔

So still replacements to find for Troy and Riss, glad I’m not bothering with the eight hour round trip for this.

That’s Cook, Kildemand, Klindt, Batchelor, Riss, Kerr, Flint, Castagna all missing with 2 more riders to find at 4 hours notice.

Along with no Brennan, Ben Cook, Pickering, Nicholls, Schlein from previous seasons.

Hope there’s a good crowd like there was yesterday at the GTS Tyres Arena.

That's why I never went to the pairs yesterday & not going to Scunthorpe today as these meetings should be run later in the season like they used to be

Oh yes, because there was never any replacements in those meetings.

First time seeing a meeting a Scunthorpe and it’s a mad track. It’s almost like the bike is never straight; just skidding round and round. No-one is safe in front; every rider is vulnerable. It’s made for a decent meeting.

That move from Harris in his first ride was unbelievable. He’s worth the admission cost alone. I actually thought the Edinburgh rider to his left moved slightly, putting him off in his last one.

Luke Killeen on co-commentary is painful.😂

Brilliant track always decent racing.

Unlucky  EF for Kemp riding well.

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

Great move from Charles Wright there.

Harris looked very slow in his last ride; he barely hung on to second in ahead of Lambert and had Kemp’s engine not gone, he’d have been a poor third.

Howarth is hanging in there, but Wright made light work of him there and it looks like a completely different Dan Thompson to the one who appeared at Armadale on Friday night.

It’s unique for sure, must be the bumpiest track in the league. Have a bad back just from watching it. 
It’s motocross like surface and shape probably just create the close racing.

Never been my favourite track to watch racing at to be honest.

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

How is the rider on the inside so far in front of the rider on the outside gate at the first bend, every single time? I can’t put my finger on it. I’ve never seen that at any other track.

Another great ride from Charles Wright.

Short distance to 1st Bend and wide track partly the reason.

[bringbackHalifax]

Massive disadvantage to top 2 having cold tyres v 2 semi finalists. 

[BluPanther]

Semi finals and finals in a one off meeting is ridiculous imo...

The riders certainly don’t seem bother with the so called bumps.They all ride it with confidence and you don’t see many incidents.
