Maybe she had a cuppa... yes,,, and maybe a couple of hob-nobs, chocolate or plain ??? and I didn't say I heard it from Roy, but I do understand that for some, 'listening and processing' doesn't come naturally If Wilkinson doesn't win the reserve race or at least finish 2nd behind Bailey he deserves sacking on the spot now that would make Peetabra look like nice employers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted July 7, 2017 If Wilkinson doesn't win the reserve race or at least finish 2nd behind Bailey he deserves sacking on the spot We thought would be the case last night at Foxhall nice easy heat 2 for him , didn't really go to plan last night for him .

thebaron 434 Posted July 7, 2017 If Wilkinson doesn't win the reserve race or at least finish 2nd behind Bailey he deserves sacking on the spot Bit harsh Fozzie; Wilko's done his bit for the Scorpions overtime. He definitely deserves our respect; in fact that's a given for every single rider that puts himself out there !. I know if you in it; then that makes you fair game for the criticism and all that - same in every sport. But sacked on the spot ? - never and I am sure Rob would not do that. There might be a conversation to be had; and lets be honest not just with Wilko; but that's for the management to have in a proper respectful manner. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted July 7, 2017 You should listen to Roy. You might learn a thing or two Probably would, but then again, I'd rather not listen to the sh!t he has to say... No offence to him but he's a pain in the ass... I'd rather find out myself, hence why I ask here and I didn't say I heard it from Roy, but I do understand that for some, 'listening and processing' doesn't come naturally Well, generally he's the one who screams out their names before every race, so maybe you'd heard it from him? I dunno... If Wilkinson doesn't win the reserve race or at least finish 2nd behind Bailey he deserves sacking on the spot Yep, a bit harsh, I think Scunthorpe's problems run deeper than Wilkinson... So he's not all to blame, plus he's ridden at Scunthorpe for years, a bit disrespectful just to throw him away like that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,134 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Updates estimated a crowd of about 300. If anywhere near accurate that's shocking. Can't see them surviving on those sorts of figures. Shame Edited July 7, 2017 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted July 7, 2017 Updates estimated a crowd of about 300. If anywhere near accurate that's shocking. Can't see them surviving on those sorts of figures. Shame Might have been a little more than that but not much (I was texting). Those who stayed away missed a treat. Four or five cracking races before an absolute stormer in heat 15. Easily the best race I have seen anywhere this season as four riders went hammer and tongs for four laps. Little wonder there was a bit of a clamour at the end to move meetings back to Friday night. Douglas was brilliant and Bailey hugely impressive. A word, too, for Auty who deserved more than he got. Newcastle - not for the first time this season - were disappointing and Worrall and Howarth aside offered little. Rob Godfrey isn't always everyones cup of tea but it was good to see him enjoying himself tonight. His baiting of referees is just superb. Three other points of interest : an insert programme..............at half price so no-one feels ripped off. Should be standard practice. The decision to exclude Howarth in heat 13 after he pulled a locker but did not fall, Auty laying down. Spot on. And the refusal to open the pit gate after an unsatisfactory start in heat 11. Bang on and also should be standard practice. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
