    This address is different to that on their website which is below and a little worrying. So I’ve tried calling them and there is no reply. I’ve left a message for them to call me with their bank details so that I can transfer it electronically. It seems Scunthorpe don’t have a collection fund either as there’s nothing on their website!!!!!

    Eddie Wright Raceway, Normanby Road, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, DN15 8QZ

     

    Moorwell Road is Rob Godfrey's garage address.

    The track is at Normanby Road.

    And the fact. it wasn't even mentioned that Rory had an off, and has had to have stitches in a deep cut to his hand.

    Hopefully Mr Mungo will update us on Stefan's status at some point. Fingers crossed it is the latter.

    Definitely broken leg. It is completely unnecessary to me SGB have actually uploaded a video of the crash, and quite frankly appalling that they give out wrong information.

    Oh definitely not, we know full well "what ifs" are pointless and do even themselves out over time. For me it's more frustration that the team manager should be making the changes that give us the best chance of securing a result and KK for Summers was a logical change to make in that respect. In his time at the helm Shroeck has made some big mistakes so far, ones that John Sampford wouldn't have. 

    Whilst not mentioned so far, the one thing that has struck me, is how Rye don't swap the reserves around. I don't know whether it would make any difference, of course, but generally giving the stronger reserve the slightly easier ride in heat 8 is par for the course when you have a reserve who is finding it tough.

    These changes have to be made sometimes whether the rider being pulled out deserves it or not. If they're not and the chance passes by it can be costly as we found out last night. 

    Summers is doing a job for us in fairness to him but if you've got the choice of him or Kasprzak in a heat (especially at Poole) then there's only one winner. 

    The reason Rye lost is not because of heat 11. I can understand the frustrations, but since Summers beat Grajczonek earlier on in the meeting, there was no reason to think it couldn't happen again.

    Negatives: 

    1) Heat 11- WHY WAS A TAC SUB NOT USED????? That should have been Nicholls/KK in yellow all day. Anyone with basic speedway knowledge should have seen that!

     

    Summers was riding well, and didn't deserve to get taken out of his ride. He could have easily beaten Grajczonek, especially since 1 and 3 were working well. As it happens a 4-2 was the worst result as they couldn't use Nicholls in 12 either, which was being lined up I believe. I was half expecting Harris to slow up in 11, but didn't happen.

    Josh looks like Watt in hos final season. No form whatsoever. Jakobsen gave him a stiff fist corner and he pulled up!

     

    It was Nicholls who gave him the tough first bend.

    Grajczonek is a class act, and will get there, but does appear to be lacking a bit of race sharpness and being unable to control the first bends. He may need to go back to basics, get a Championship spot, get some big points in the Championship, and I'm sure the points will soon come flowing again.

    Blimey, Mr Mungo, spot on, Poole are well on their way to 18 points ............ err, hang on, have I read that right? :)

    Poole are not there yet, but I think everyone knows they will get going eventually. They just have to hope it's not too late when they do get going!

    Whilst Garrity was absolutely out of order (and how on earth was Jonas excluded in heat 9?!?!), it at least livened up one of the dullest meetings I have seen at the STMP.

    Didn't think any other decision could be made. Garrity could hardly continue on the bike once Andersen had ripped out every single spoke on his front wheel. 

    Very similar to the Bjarne Pedersen and Nicholls crash at Coventry several years ago. Thankfully both Nicholls and Garrity were able to talk away from the crashes.

    If, as he says he has done very meetings how come his 'Leicester' bike is at the menders ?  bad planning ?     Does he have a bike for Rye one for Somerset one for Belle Vue, One for Berwick etc etc etc . ???

    Engines routinely go wrong, which are never planned! Many riders will have 4 or 5 engines (many will have more if they are very busy), and will have a preferred engine for a specific track. If one engine is unavailable (engine tuner may be taking longer than expected, for example), the rider has to go with the next best option, which sometimes actually works well, but other times it fails miserably!

    I actually thought to myself an hour ago "I can see 3 away wins tonight" but refrained from having a flutter on the away wins. Glad I refrained looking at the 3 Heat 1's!

    Although Kasprzak having a stinker was too good to pass up on.

    Interesting suggestion. 

    With my luck my prison would be in Norfolk! 

    Did Jeffrey Archer not do most of his time there? Brutal. 

    Wayland Prison (Griston) I believe.

    Last time I was in the area, there were helicopters and police all over the village as some inmates had apparently escaped and were hiding in the village somewhere.

    May still be some vacancies there...

    The weather not looking too promising for practice day on Tuesday,  could well be going into first meetings with some not even hardly been on their bikes.

    Most of the Ipswich side were at Scunthorpe practicing on Wednesday

    All you guys tipping Wolves to finish as low as 7th, I'm intrigued to know who you think will trouble us on home shale because for us to finish that low a fair few will have to. Belle Vue seem the most likely to beat us at home I think but don't see too much problem from the others

    As one of the Sinful Seven, I'll explain my reasoning - however flawed it may be!

    I don't actually think the side is bad, per se, but I don't see any sides in the league that are being run on the cheap. It is probably as competitive of a league as I can remember. In previous years, there were always one or two teams that could be described as "easy pickings", but none this year.

    I can think of many teams who could challenge Wolves at Monmore (or WV2 for TNT), but Belle Vue wouldn't be my first choice at all.

    2 spring to mind from the off: Leicester and Rye House.

    Rye House have a side full of WV2 track specialists + Kasprzak. I would expect them to do very well there.

    Leicester, too, have a number of riders who can ride the track very well. Or riders who I expect could do. The only exception would be KP who remains an unknown at this stage, but riders do sometimes pick up an injury in Poland on a Sunday which takes a few days to shake off. If they were able to use R/R and give extra rides to Kyle "I can p**s past Tai Woffinden round here" Newman, I would  look at them as a side who could do very well.

    Obviously, it's all ifs and buts at this stage of the year, but I think any team with a strong top order could pose some problems for Wolves.
