Scunthorpe vs Leicester 02/09/22

Recommended Posts

Was thinking of going (starting from the Birmingham area) but I'll be taking an empty car. Anyone else fancy going and sharing petrol costs?

Hope Lambert is not having intermittent carb problems tonight like he did Saturday. Will need a full check over, even if it could be our last meeting. Wright unsure but maybe out his depth.

Douglas came off at Sheffield but back for re-run. A test for tomorrow with, hopefully, no ill effects.

I’m missing tomorrow hope the scorpion’s put a shift in as last weekend they were very good for 12 heats at Redcar and then capitulated and on the Saturday they were woeful at Berwick . My main concern is Jake Allen’s form ,here’s hoping a good meeting

This could be up to an 8 point win either way, although the outcome is unlikely to be of any significance. It would be good if the Lions middle and lower order can show that they can contribute away from BP ready for the play offs, even though Scunny is not a track they will visit again this season.

Hearing that due to his injuries Tero Aarnio's season is over.

Hopefully everyone in the Lions camp will rally around Joe to help him overcome his dip in form. His points contribution for the remainder of the season will be important. If Joe can at least maintain his current average, I would be quite confident that silverware will be coming to BP this season. Recent performances suggest that others outside of the top three will be at the party. He may only be 18 but he will not like the idea that he may be considered a passenger. Come on Joe, one last push!

Joe will come of age one day. He's struggling but at home he's still a real asset. Think next year a move away could benefit him for his development
