iainb 5,069 Posted July 22, 2022 1 thing still puzzles me though... why as a camera operator would you pan away from a couple of riders swinging handbags? Unbelievable! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,090 Posted July 22, 2022 5 hours ago, Happy Hunter said: Its a mandatory 7 days suspension whatever the illness. I think it was brought in to prevent riders throwing a sickie when due to visit a track they didnt like! Regulation is:- 010.5(H) sick or carrying a non-speedway injury, the rider must immediately inform the SCB and their club. A Medical Certificate must be supplied to the SCB within 48 hours of the sickness/injury occurring in which case the rider will receive a mandatory 7 days suspension of his SCB Registration from the day of the first meeting missed Not a fan of this rule: 1) basically it's brought in to stop riders / teams "cheating" 2) unfortunately if a rider is really ill, he then had to miss a week of racing - if I'm not well enough for work, I do t have to take a whole week off, so why do speedway riders? 3) if a rider is fit to return, but has to wait 7 days - means MORE GUESTS being used 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScunnyDan 335 Posted July 23, 2022 Quality meeting that, nice to be in the crowd for a change too! Ryan Douglas, what a guy, us Scorpions fans can only hope his signature is already inked for 2023.. Zaine Kennedy man of the match for me, very unlucky with his puncture in heat 14.. Adam Roynon also put in loads of effort for little reward, effort goes a long way at Scunthorpe and I'm sure he'll become a crowd favourite in the coming weeks.. It does take two teams to make a great meeting - and fair play to the Lions, Howarth, Lawson and Worrall were on it.. was also pleasing to see Max Clegg in the points after some online criticism 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shockster 408 Posted July 23, 2022 My first time at Scunthorpe last night and I was really impressed with everything. Loved the track. Basic facilities, but who cares. The track was great and the riders performed. Great advert and will be back sooner rather than later. Zaine Kennedy def Man of the match but was a solid team performance from Scunthorpe and they deserved the win. Think the score slightly flattered Leicester, but you need 2 good teams to make a good match. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And has often done the centre green announcing at Lynn over the years, more so for Boston in their CL days but for the Stars too on many occasions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
