lucifer sam 3,953 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR SCORPIONS FOR MASSIVE MEETING! PLAY-OFF GRAND FINAL AT THE EDDIE WRIGHT RACEWAY THIS AFTERNOON! A MUCH IMPROVED weather forecast means all systems are go for this afternoon’s (Sunday, 4pm) concluding leg of the final of the Premier League play-offs – the biggest-ever meeting held at the Eddie Wright Raceway in Normanby Road. The Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions are looking to overturn a five-point deficit against the Somerset Rebels – after a narrow 44-49 defeat at Somerset in the first leg on Friday. The aggregate winners will be crowned Premier League Champions this afternoon. Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “The atmosphere for the Workington match here three weeks ago was fantastic, but this afternoon, we want it taken to a whole new level. “There has never been a speedway meeting in Scunthorpe as important as this one. We urge people to come along this afternoon and be involved in what we hope will be a momentous sporting occasion for Scunthorpe. It’s one not to be missed. “Our lads really want to win this. We’re taking nothing for granted, because Somerset are a good side themselves, but with the crowd behind us, we can do it.” The postcode for the Eddie Wright Raceway stadium for first time visitors is DN15 8QZ. There is a late change to the Somerset Rebels side. Guest Craig Cook aggravated an injury at Berwick last night, and he is replaced by Richard Hall. Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions: 1. Josh Auty, 2. David Howe R/R, 3. Sam Masters (guest), 4. Ashley Birks, 5. Nick Morris, 6. Michael Palm Toft, 7. Gary Irving. Somerset Rebels: 1. Richard Hall (guest), 2. Alex Davies, 3. Jesper B Monberg, 4. James Wright, 5. Claus Vissing, 6. Kyle Newman, 7. Lewis Kerr (guest). Edited October 28, 2012 by lucifer sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gusworld 15 Posted October 28, 2012 Rebels up against it now without a 'big hitter' like Cookie at No.1. They will have to perform a minor miracle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buttons 370 Posted October 28, 2012 Shame for Somerset they had an uphill struggle with Cook, but without him whatever little chance they may have had has just evaporated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Hall is "on it" he can pile up the points at the EWR. Don't count the Rebels out yet. I certainly haven't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigerblues 10 Posted October 28, 2012 Unlucky for Somerset having to find someone less than 24hrs before the meeting.. Hally might not be a big hitter like Doyle and Cook but he certainly knows his way round the EWR as well as anyone. Looking forward to it! Weather still looking ok?

scunny1 436 Posted October 28, 2012 Clouded up a bit , but still fine. Weather is coming from Sheffield direction so you Tiggers will get any weather 20 mins before us 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gusworld 15 Posted October 28, 2012 I really hope Hall is 'in on it' and can swoop round the boards a few times. He certainly helped the Rebels out at the Best Pairs with a last bend swoop which enabled Wrighty and Doyle to progress so hopefully he can do the same at the EWR. Maybe Hall is a good omen for the Rebels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
