All Activity

Was the cup not 2023?

Apart from the trailer sign plonked on the roundabout on race nights what other promotional activities are happening at Scunthorpe? Genuine question.

Best race Track counts for nothing if not enough fans are turning up.( have no idea if this is the case though).

The previous season when we had a proper no 1 and doing fairly well playoffs winning the cup I would hazard a guess that rob only broke even…I doubt if he got better riders that the crowds would flock to the ewr for him to be able to be to afford the quality riders that the diehard fans crave..he does well to keep us running tbf

Maybe Matt should buy a London bus to help tyre packing the track and smooth out some of the bumps? I seem to recall that Stewart Dickson used to use one of his at Glasgow….but that was a long while ago.

A decent second half to the meeting with some proper racing from Howarth, MPT and Nagel. Ht15 was superb. Minimal grading also enhanced the experience IMO. If we are going to do the business against Poole next week we need to be gating right from the start to stand a chance.

Will Glasgow use Jordy Loftus next week if Max isn’t back or continue to use Dayle? They seem to be the only two CL riders that fit

Possibly, nothing meeting really. It will be a different Bomber next week imo.

I suppose that depends on what the owner wants. As with many seasons, the team was built to lose away but win at home but the loss of an out and out number one meant only 3 home wins and the inevitable drop in crowd numbers - a winning team won’t necessarily bring in more supporters but a losing one certainly keeps them away. There is one rider that has excelled this year but you can bet his phone has been red hot with calls from rival promoters. Not offering him a 2026 team place, of course, as that will breach the rules but saying “if you’re thinking of making a change, you’ve got my number” But the other six need to be moved on as none have been comfortable round EWR. Maybe it’s the change to one of those hard polyfoam barriers - second hand from Glasgow - that has put them off? Whatever the reasons for a disappointing season, the supporters deserve better, in my opinion. And hopefully, that’s what will happen in 2026

He done well to hold Antti off,and Charles ride in heat 13 when he split the Scorpions.

Good meeting lovely ride from Luke in 15

Rob Godfrey doing some busking in the town centre trying to build a cash pot up for a complete new squad for next season.

Not after they get beat at Berwick tomorrow night 😂

Lambert taking up a new career, now doing gardening.

He must be running low on energy after his racing schedule last week

A lot of dodgy refereeing decisions in this one, some good racing though.

And now comes the mass cull for next season

Not intentionally I don't think, looked very disgruntled coming off from his races and even did a few laps after heat 15 and came off shaking his head. One to forget for him.

Scorpions cock up heat 14.

Always good to catch up with you Phil. Thought it was a very topsy turvey meeting thanks to gates 2 and 4 but Belle Vue always good value, especially with Dan in the side.

No you are thrown out because your Sprint and qualifying ticket is not valid for GP- 20zl to see qualifying/ sprint.Buy on the day.

Daft question time. If you go to the sprint races at 14.00, are you stuck in the stadium until 19.00. Surely not!

https://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.221 Seems to be pointing out that you may need additional insurance at non BSPL events, if you get injured there is no entitlement to SRBF help and that you need permission from your club if you're attached to one.

Is Bomber trying to reduce his average for next season?
