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! You dont like us , fine that's your perogative. I've been to North side a few times now and I'm well away of the cash only policy and have no issue with it . Personally never heard any moans about it . Had a very enjoyable afternoon on the 1st/2nd bend 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted yesterday at 05:04 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:04 PM I really dislike having finals after the 20 heats. I know all the riders knew the rules beforehand & officially Bomber is a deserving winner. I can't say that Worrall is "unlucky" as the top scorer has no "divine right to win" but I think any extra heats are unnecessary & that it should be decided over 20 heats. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted yesterday at 05:27 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:27 PM I see that Klindt was missing because he was racing in the Alfred Smoczyk Memorial in Leszno. I would've thought the league riders championship would take priority for being an "official" meeting, rather than an "open" meeting? It's not like Klindt would get banned in Poland for declining an invitation to ride in the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, we all love Bomber, helped us win the title a few years back, passed Doyley on the last bend.

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. Iam not sure what you were watching, I didn't see a single bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM In my opinion the reason why they do semi's and finals is to keep the riders interested in a one off meeting with no final you come last in your first ride you might as well pack up and go home as you aren't winning. They need something to race for and one bad race at the start of the meeting means you don't in a top scorer wins meeting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Went to the CLRC today and experienced the worst catering I've seen at a speedway track in 40 years. Despite it being a major meeting they ran out of burgers less than half way through the meeting and was told they didn't have any hot dogs. £4 for one slice of bacon in a bun that was so dry it must have been a week old and was virtually inedible. Disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own, but I couldn’t possibly disagree more if I tried. Finals exist to not only crown the most consistent performer, but also the person who can prove it under pressure. From a viewers perspective, it’s creates a spectacle and drama; a single high-stakes race that captures the attention. It takes a different set of skills to win a final too. It’s mental toughness and adaptability from a low-pressure qualifying section to an all-on-the-line final. I can only assume you’re a Scunthorpe fan, are Richie Worrall and/or don’t enjoy excitement. 45 minutes ago, Bellers101 said: Went to the CLRC today and experienced the worst catering I've seen at a speedway track in 40 years.

Disgraceful. This isn’t unique to Scunthorpe. I bought chips at Armadale on Friday that I can only assume were cooked on a radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
