ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted May 9, 2018 With Ludde 'back on it', Ash, Tero, Wilko and Howe all former Scorpions maybe having a point to prove and Matty just having a point to prove, we might just get a result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't usually perform at Scunny, especially with their drowning the track tactics, but it could be interesting if the real David Howe turns up. Result could be interesting, but Scunny does have a decent team this year. Edited May 9, 2018 by Tsunami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScunnyDan 335 Posted May 9, 2018 Hoping for a Scorpions win (obviously) but hoping Jake is fit enough to take his place in the Scorpions line up, if not I hope Mr G (thats Rob, not Jase) can find a good enough guest for Super Stevie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted May 9, 2018 Seems odd that the Scorps are going to pay out for Steve Worrall to be DBS checked and for his Officials licence for one meeting however i guess it might provide a better value return via PR / team bonding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hulvik 73 Posted May 11, 2018 Jake twitted last night he feel a little bashed up but would be riding. So guessing R/R for Stevie (Rob's got to save some money somewhere with all these big paydays of late) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert 304 Posted May 11, 2018 Job done... Scorpions progress. Entertaining, but hardly a classic EWR meeting, track far too slick tonight, favoured gating and hugging the white line.. Scunny made to work for it, thanks to a brilliant effort from Tero Aarnio (and lets say a somewhat baffling decision from the referee!) ... Aarnio, real star of the show (never rode like that for Scunny!). ... Rest of the Diamonds showed glimpses but made little impact. ... Garrity had an off night, outside line not working for him tonight. ... Auty, Allen, Nielsen and Manzares all return solid double figure scores. ... Manzares, how the hell did he get disqualified from heat 4. Morris on one wheel, heading to the fence completely wiped him out! ... Scorpions progress.. I guess Sheffield will get best 2nd place?
