I just hope he is in the market for a switch because this is the best opportunity Scunthorpe have had since we won the league since 2012. In my opinion it is Aarnio and Macdonald that are the two to go and it’s not just based on tonight it has been coming Aarnio really?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobC 664 Posted August 18, 2021 Missed this one. So, what are peoples thoughts on this meeting? Seems like Scunthorpe blame Plymouth for all their misfortune. http://scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=13196 Sadly, the Plymouth website only gives the scorers, no meeting report at this time.

I think whoever wrote that was having a bad day, certainly not how I saw things. We had some decent racing. Although with 14 heats spread over 2 ¾ hours it was hard to get absorbed in the meeting. Injuries, unsatisfactory starts and numerous tumbles slowed things considerably, as did delays for Reserve switches and IIR’s meaning extra time allowed for consecutive rides. Heat one as I saw it (right in front of me) Crump was riding his normal line, marginally in the lead and Ellis continued going for a closing gap. Front wheel to back was only ending one way. Really glad Ellis and Lambert were able to walk away, it was a messy one. A real shame that we didn’t get to see the Champ for the rest of the night. Ellis correctly excluded IMO, although guilty of nothing more than giving it a go. As for the remainder of the falls, I can’t remember any where a Gladiator contributed. Good spirited riding from both sides that didn’t always go to plan. I thought Palin went down by himself in the second staging of heat 13, simplest decision of the night for the Ref. Mark did battle to keep the dust down, but his attempts were neither futile nor excessive. Crump looked less Rusty than he has done. Bjarne was sublime, Bowtell fast and reliable. Ruml, Cook, Keleher showed some signs of improvement. Edwards struggled….. Best Team won. Roll on next week!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelDan 203 Posted August 18, 2021 Not a great meeting last night purely down to the amount of delays and crashes it just never got going. I hope all the injured riders are ok and recover quickly. The ref didn’t help it seemed to take an age for the 2 mins to come on for each heat, granted the riders needed more time after crashes and reruns but even so the delays seemed excessive IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This report is inaccurate Crump was leading heat one, Ellis attempted an outside pass end of the back straight lap one & then got tangled with the fence. Fact is Jason left Adam enough room as stated by Adam himself. Most on lookers were under the impression Adam's racing head was still in Belle Vue mode! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After Friday, only 2 home & 3 away meetings but any changes have to be made on or before the 28th to be ratified on the 1st September. Any other changes to be made if injuries occur. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=r&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Tero Edited August 18, 2021 by IronScorpion additional info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
