  1. Basically my route (for anyone who cares) is: back roads of Oxfordshire going through Islip and outskirts of Bicester (therefore avoiding the A40 roadworks, A34 and M40), A43, A5 (runs parallel to M1, which has roadworks from 15A to 19), onto the M1 briefly from junctions 20 to 21A, A46 (by the time I reach the outskirts of Lincoln their rush hour is almost over), A15, and then past the steel works and Eddie Wrights Rob, Try coming off the M40 at Jct 12, Gaydon and follow the signs to the Car Heritage Museum. Continue on that road and after about 5 mins pick up the signs to Leicester (Fosse Way). Keep on this road and it will bring you out on the A5 about 5 mins from Jct 1 M69. From there pick up the M1 at Jct 20, etc. I have tried every route in the past 4 years, and this seems the best and least stressful. Also, if you look on the map there is a road that runs parallel with the A15 straight to Scunny, you come out opposite the Steel works, usually quicker.

    Cardiff Advice

    Try the Cardiff University accommodation. All the students have left for the summer and they rent rooms out in the halls. All en-suite, free parking and 5 mins walk to the Castle, pubs and Staduim for £27 a night. Look on the web site for details.
  3. Let's all agree to disagree and move on.

    Rye House V Scunthorpe 9/5/15

    It will be interesting to see what happens Flying Ryan comes back. I cannot see Theo, Wilko or Josh being left out, and Alex has started to find some good form. Against Edinburgh he was the best Scunny rider.
  5. Now I know how Sheffield supporters have felt for the last few years. But as Sir Rob says 'It's not where you start, it's where you finish'.

    Scunthorpe 2015

    I feel the stadium location is a double edged sword. No curfews, unlimited practices and weekend meetings, unfortunately there is no public transport or local housing and is difficult to get there without your own transport. if you are unable to get there, it does not matter who appears or what the music is. I am not knocking all the efforts by Julie, etc and if I did not work away during the week I would have gone to the recent meeting to help. There are many good ideas on this thread, but I feel access is the biggest problem.
  7. Can Worky run during the week or do outside factors prevent this?
  8. I know people on here will be the first to correct me, but in my opinion very rarely do Scunny fans have a bad word to say about Rob or the team. OK, Williamson may not be the best reserve, but at home is never far off the pace. Ash Birks is usually in the points and trying his best. Rob is 100% Scunny,always entertaining on the mic, and most weeks the racing is excellent. When I read some of the abuse supporters give their own teams, Scunny are doing fine by me.
  9. The score line does not reflect the closeness of the match. Every heat had plenty of action. Felt sorry for Rob, last week he had the main sponsors in attendance and must have been keen for a close entertaining match. Unfortunately Rye House were shocking and the meeting was not the usual offering, pity they were not there tonight.

    Cardiff Gp Date Announced July 4th 2015

    Stayed there the last few years, cannot fault it for VFM.
  11. According to Thomas Jorgenson on his website, his chain came off after being hit and wedged in the sprocket. He was unable to move the bike and was trying to get the ref to stop the race. Before anyone starts to jump down my throat and tell me that was not the case, do not shoot the messenger.
  12. Cracking match this afternoon, lots of twist and turns and a last heat decider. Flying Ryan was fantastic, and can only be a matter of time before all the team hit form. Anders may be back in 6 six weeks, which is great news.
  13. Could you please release the confirmed names.

    Scorpions 2014

    Great news.
  15. Went last night after hearing how the winter track changes will make for better racing, unfortunately it was the usual fare. As others have said, if the one pass by Bjerre on MPT is the greatest race ever, that just about sums it up. It is a shame because the rest of the stadium is spot on, and I always have a sociable chat with the home supporters who I my experience all always friendly. I do think £3 is to much for a programme, with the internet freely available to most people will look up anything they are interested in, so its the Scunny/Sheffield programme for me. Lastly, if you think that was cold you should try Scunthorpe.
  16. BBC Look North, the local news programme on after the main news, had a short piece last night and showed the track. It was more like a swimming pool on bend 3/4. Also interviewed 2 understandably upset Rebel supporters on the coach, it was a pity they did not interview Rob Godfrey or Richard Hollingsworth to hear their side of things.
  17. I think Albert echo's how every Scunny supporter feels. I would have loved a packed EWR this afternoon, the atmosphere against Worky was really good. I feel for the Rebel fans who cannot make it tomorrow, along with the many Scunny supporters who cannot it make it as well. I am pleased to see Jason Bunyan back, he has been an excellent guest in the past. Richard Hall, he can score anything between 5 and 15 (hopefully 5, but you never know). Fingers crossed for the weather and a Scunny win, but if it's not to be, congratulations to the Rebels.
  18. Great effort by the boys last night. As already mentioned EF's cost us dear, but hopefully tomorrow the luck will be on our side. Also, thanks Rob, Richard and the lads for coming over to the 3rd bend at the end to thank us all for coming.
  19. Craig Cook is on fire at the moment, looks like a very good guest.
