With Ludde 'back on it', Ash, Tero, Wilko and Howe all former Scorpions maybe having a point to prove and Matty just having a point to prove, we might just get a result.

Like we always do at Scunthorpe :) Not wanting to be a debbie downer, but we're never going to win (unless something out of the ordinary happens)

Like a lot of people, George E booked to go to the Polish GP a long time ago, with the Diamonds having a free weekend. We don't usually perform at Scunny, especially with their drowning the track tactics, but it could be interesting if the real David Howe turns up. Result could be interesting, but Scunny does have a decent team this year.

Hoping for a Scorpions win (obviously) but hoping Jake is fit enough to take his place in the Scorpions line up, if not I hope Mr G (thats Rob, not Jase) can find a good enough guest for Super Stevie

Seems odd that the Scorps are going to pay out for Steve Worrall to be DBS checked and for his Officials licence for one meeting however i guess it might provide a better value return via PR / team bonding

Maybe its a longer term aim ?

Jake twitted last night he feel a little bashed up but would be riding. So guessing R/R for Stevie (Rob's got to save some money somewhere with all these big paydays of late)

Job done... Scorpions progress.

Entertaining, but hardly a classic EWR meeting, track far too slick tonight, favoured gating and hugging the white line.. Scunny made to work for it, thanks to a brilliant effort from Tero Aarnio (and lets say a somewhat baffling decision from the referee!)

...  Aarnio, real star of the show (never rode like that for Scunny!).

... Rest of the Diamonds showed glimpses but made little impact.

... Garrity had an off night, outside line not working for him tonight.

... Auty, Allen, Nielsen and Manzares all return solid double figure scores.

... Manzares, how the hell did he get disqualified from heat 4. Morris on one wheel, heading to the fence completely wiped him out!

... Scorpions progress.. I guess Sheffield will get best 2nd place?
