Bright and sunny here at the moment. Met Office say sunny intervals for the rest of the day with a 5-10% chance of showers and 18c, falling to about 15c by tapes up. 60% chance of rain from 9pm, so the meeting should hopefully be moved along at a good pace.

scunny1 436 Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks, some conflicting weather forecasts on the net, but setting off 1.30 ish and will check in on here again somewhere up the A1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth packing a hoody - Bandits ones are available at the track!! - because it's not an obviously summery day temperature-wise - even for Berwick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bandit but a Scunny fan living in Bandit country, weather is good now but small chance of showers later in the evening hopefully be good though!

Shadders 4,135 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Strange old meeting in front of a sparse crowd on a windy night. If Scunthorpe started as they finished they’d be going home with three points. Only 4 points from NBJ’s replacement rides was a poor return. Announced that 65 of the 120 “5-1” draw numbers have already been taken up after just a few days.

topsoil 2,498 Posted August 21, 2019 Another three points and a good win. The win was sealed in the first half of the meeting. Not much in the way of passing on a slick track, but Ben Barker and Simon Lambert provided good entertainment for the visitors. Dany Gapp looks back to good form for home meetings and all round the team look more consistent. Cracking move by Leon to win heat 12 and a special mention to the lightning quick reflexes of Simon Lambert in heat 14 which saved a potentially very nasty incident for the Captain. Always going to be a smaller crowd for a midweek meeting with work commitments, probably why the club tries to avoid them if possible. Decent take up for the new draw which should bring in some much needed funds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
