Scunthorpe Scorpions V Peterborough Panthers ( S G B Championship) - Sunday, August 20th (5.30pm)

[IronScorpion 1,407]

If Scunthorpe fans can't be bothered to provide updates, why should the Panthers bring their best rider?

If you are that much of a supporter, you could be up here supporting your team(+ NL guest) & do the updates.

 

Full of hot air, as usual. Use it to blow up your doll instead.

So someone tell me why this ain't the 2nd leg of the KOC QF.

Come on, are you trying to make me laugh. You should know that over the years the (old) LC & KOC start at the early part of the season & finish towards the end as priority is the league when it gets close to the play-offs(even though we both will not be in them).

It's not as easy as that to be honest.

 

Doing the texting sounds no bother but in reality, your time at the meeting is spent with your head in your mobile texting. There is very little chance to socialise, very little time to have loo breaks, have something to eat, can be very stressful and to top it all off, you still spend exactly the same amount of money to get in as everyone else (texting or updating is not a paid position, there is no free entry or incentives apart from maybe making yourself feel good for helping others)

 

It is not something to go into on a whim which is why when anyone texts, we are always so grateful and why we also respect when people feel they are unable to do so.

 

Hmm, not exactly selling it here am I, especially when I am looking for a texter!

Wonder how the crowd will be effected today with Sheffield riding at home too

I think that ALL the Scunthorpe supporters will be at the EWR rather than Owlerton as the racing is of a better quality that is why we have Sheffield supporters coming over as well as supporters from Redcar, Belle Vue, Peterborough, Buxton to name a few of the jackets seen this year at the EWR. Sometimes, as it happens, people go to watch speedway as a neutral. I even go myself to other venues but over the last 2 seasons have seen poor racing at Sheffield(processional ftg) & PL racing at Kings Lynn.

 

There is, also, a BSB round at Cadwell Park today(normally August Bank Holiday) which might keep some motor sports enthusiasts away(although it can be taped, sometimes better live). Hel'n'Back is one who is missing the Sheffield meeting today.

Probably quite a bit, there are at least 5 people who stand with me that are Sheffield supporters first and come to Scunny just to watch close racing and I know of many more around the stadium. The racing at Sheffield might not be as good but i'm sure being top of the league compensates for that.

All of about 50 then?

Why is Connor Coles guesting for Holder?..have we not been granted a facility?

Why is Connor Coles guesting for Holder?..have we not been granted a facility?

because panthers don't want a facility , if they wanted a facility holder would get a ban , how the happy clapper panthers fan club can agree with Rathbones decisions regarding this is beyond belief

i presume no Scunny fan uses the updates site.....

I will post this before the meeting as I am expecting a decent win & score 50+ points(hope it's not the kiss of death).

 

Now that the riding order has been reshuffled to how I would almost like it(barring the r/r), I would expect Josh A to score around 10-12 depending on number of rides. Lewis after having a couple of bad meetings at home, I am hoping for similar around the 12 mark. Ryan has been flying now he is back on the GM, & after a good meeting at Sheffield should score well. I am not sure what is happening to Captain Toft, whether he is saving his best engines for PL racing or needs to get them re-tuned but he should be scoring better than he has, definitely not as a no 1 should be. Tero should chip in with 7 or 8 & little Josh with about 4 if they both have their normal number of rides.

Jack Holder has saved Torun from relegation by scoring 11 from 4 rides.

 

Winder if that triggers a bonus payment to the Panthers?

[Panthers89 1,922]
