Wouldn't call myself an Edinburgh Supporter, but I do visit the Dale most weeks.

 

I'll be down with my Mum, Dad and Sis.

 

I'll be the one with the kilt on (weather permitting )

Who will be replacing Josh Auty in the line up ?

 

If this weather doesn't change soon then I presume the guys will be using ice speedway bikes !

Any news on the track for Sunday? Has it been affected by the snow/frost? I know that its too snow a bit up here in Bonnie Scotland before the end of the week, anybody got any idea of local weather for Scunny?

 

I fear the kilt may not make an appearance after all

Ashworth, Barker, Irving and Roynon join Cracker line-up

 

PLRC winner Ricky Ashworth, Coventry’s Ben Barker, Workington’s Adam Roynon and the Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions’ number eight Gary Irving have been added to Sunday’s Christmas Cracker line-up at the Eddie Wright Raceway. Sheffield Tiger Ashworth, who will double-up in the Elite League with the Belle Vue Aces in 2010, and Roynon, who will be racing for the first time since injury nine months ago, are the latest to step in to the line-up after Barker and Irving were announced in today’s Scunthorpe Telegraph.

 

The foursome have replaced David Howe (still recovering from a broken ankle), Ritchie Hawkins (having an operation to remove steelwork from his leg), Josh Auty (extending his stay in Australia) and Dutch rider Benjamin Borgers but promoter Rob Godfrey is understandably still very excited by the assembled field. “It is very difficult to get riders for these out-of-season meetings. Most of the foreign riders are back home whilst many other riders haven’t got bikes built up. That said I think three of the late additions, Ricky Ashworth, Ben Barker and Adam Roynon are genuine contenders to become the very first Christmas Cracker champion. When you add Kevin Doolan who is one of the best riders in the Premier League, four Scorpions (Carl Wilkinson, Joel Parsons, Simon Lambert and Jerran Hart)and two former Scorpions who have each held the track record (Andrew Tully and Richard Hall) you have a very strong field”.

 

“We’ve also got Jordan Frampton who is another Premier League heat-leader whilst Edinburgh’s new Hungarian rider, Jozsef Tabaka, is setting out on Christmas Eve to get to the meeting. People might question Gary Irving’s inclusion but he definitely deserves his chance. He is a brave rider who rides our track superbly and I feel sure he will claim a few scalps on Sunday”.

 

“We have a motorway blade on site plus four tractors to work on the track if necessary and we won’t think twice about working every day, including Christmas Day, if we need to get the track in shape. I’m sure that after all the Christmas indulgence we will produce the usual feast of great speedway for the country’s speedway fans. However, if anyone is concerned about the weather on race day then there is a new phone number to call. It is 07752-215291”.

 

Sunday’s meeting starts at 3pm with admission set at £15 for adults, £13 for concessions, £4 for children aged 10 to 16 and free admission for Under 10’s.
