Thanks to gazc for the ride back to station hope to get back up again this season. No problems the run into the city was the highlight of the night. No point in why this happened this is a massive wake up call that no team can be taken for granted , the MBA signing looks like it won't work but too late now young Jensen looks a talent though and will only get better. As previously stated only one team deserved to win tonight and the result actually flattered us as it should have been more. I can see Berwick turning us over next week also unless they get the finger out there arses. Edited August 31, 2019 by Gazc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's it in a nutshell Dorothy........out of the ones who didn't perform, Rasmus surprised me the most. I thought that with his ability he could have adapted.....

Results are secondary to entertainment for me. Understand we needed to get meeting on and lots of hard work went into it but when riders can't turn the bike it's not really good to watch. Scunthorpe thoroughly deserved to win. Edited August 31, 2019 by highroad119 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the heat times ,they were pretty much average ,so the Scorps weren’t having too much trouble turning the bike.Starke injury came at a bad time.He was the key middle order man.

Fair comment re Scunny riders and Paul Starke. Still a farce of a meeting though. Edited August 31, 2019 by highroad119 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shrimmy 143 Posted August 31, 2019 I’m no expert either but surely you can turn your bike on a slick track better than a deep filled really grippy track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
