Forecast was not too bad on that day and the downpour caught most people by surprise. What was also annoying that by having to wait for re admission tickets to be stamped on exit took considerably longer to get out than to get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many times did Matt Williamson or josh bailey overtake somebody to earn a point...not quite sure that Danny Philips is the worst ever 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then people are wondering why crowds are on the decline is it really any wonder when the governing body are continually shooting themselves in the foot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert 304 Posted October 16, 2018 What was most annoying about that meeting was that after all the efforts to return the track back a decent condition, it was the actions of a few riders... namely Palm Toft (Scun) and Ostergaard (Peterboro) that put an end to the meeting. Rider power at its best.. my biggest gripe about the sport. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rider power at its best.. my biggest gripe about the sport. There was no way this meeting could have carried on it was unfit to race on full stop I watched all the efforts to try and clear the water off the third bend and even when they did reduce the flooding and I don't mean clearing there was still big puddles on the inside of the bend and the rest was just like sludge I can't say I would blame any rider for not wanting to ride let alone race on such a dangerous surface , nobody wants to see riders put themselves at risk of serious injuries in such circumstances . As you say both riders who opposing captains at the time were against riding and I am sure it was the only logical conclusion despite the valiant efforts of Rob Godfrey and his track crew to try and get the meeting on again.

RS50 359 Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Why is so much of the Scunthorpe 2019 thread about Danny Phillips? Will he be back next year? Don't think Rob has announced next year's team yet. Edited October 17, 2018 by RS50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
