  1. Brilliant gesture and Tony Jackson (last Worky manager to win the treble) is coming over and when I offered him a ticket for free he said thanks but I would rather buy one to help the club which was another fantastic gesture... Regards THJ

  4. The only good thing about another utterly rubbish “no passing” GP was seeing Freddie walk off the track after his horrendous crash.

  7. That's what happens when you leave a top notch track like sunny Armadale and spend too long at a second rate ploughed field like Beirut. Would be interesting to see him on a speedway bike, although it's most likely he would end the evening pointless.

  8. Brennan superb , I would agree Kemp has stalled if not gone backwards. Flint is progressing nicely in the Championship, come on a lot this year.

  11. It may not have been invented as a team sport but that has always been the main thing that attracted me for 70years and I don't think I am the only one who has no interest at all in individual meetings.

  12. Disappointed not to see Crumpie again , also disappointing last match ,think that's 5 times we've been beaten at home , usually just miss playoffs this year never near if it wasn't for Leon we would be even worse off.With Spud retiring, don't think NBJ will be back now he has a thriving business to run will be interesting to see the shape of the team next year.Good luck to Spud.

  13. Glad to see Freddie get up from that one, horrendous crash, the GP continues to prove having all the best riders doesnt guarantee good racing, im getting fed up with it tbh, appears to becoming more and more processional.

  14. Do You believe the Speedway would have lasted 90 years in this country without the creation of the leagues and team competitions, or International test matches ? That's what has made speedway so big over here in the UK, Poland and Sweden.

  15. Worst crash I’ve seen live at track, the way Freddie was stuck on bike and hit fence head first feared the worst but the air fence did its job!

  16. That looked deadly as Freddie had no control hanging on the front of his bike. Relieved they are both up.

  17. That looked horrific... Freddie looked like he was knocked out on the bike before he hit the fence.. Hopefully both ok.... Edit. Thank goodness both up..... Air fences worth every penny...

  18. Diamonds fan passing through and supporting the Monarchs. Been a bit of a one line track up until ht10 but if anyone can find a way it is Josh Pickering. Great guy to watch and currently my favourite non-Diamond

  19. And that’s the problem, they covered the track for days, uncovered it 2 hours beforehand and was bone dry, put some water on it but just barley dampened the surface, decent track preparation needs a full day or 2 of watering to soak into the base. The best meetings at Vojens is when it’s rained

  22. If there is a potential saviour for next season, getting a huge crowd for the next meeting would possibly help him make a decision. If not, it would help Rob Grant lose a bit less.

  26. Well done to the Scorpions tonight. They We're clearly fired up for this meeting after losing at home to Leicester Lions a week ago and throwing away a lead at Kent on Tuesdsy. The rain clearly affected Poole and I was disappointed in the performance. Scunthorpe were quicker out of the starts and had more speed and importantly didn't let the conditions put them off. I have been lucky to have seen some cracking meetings at the Eddie Wright Raceway over the years unfortunately the late rain ruined that. You beat us fair and square but just a note of warning to some Scorpians fans. Don't think for one moment that Poole will ride as badly as this come the playoffs and next time if we do meet we won't make it easy for you. Anyway congratulations and good luck In the playoffs.

  27. Riss really has gone backwards when it looked like he would go on to be a superb rider. Shame.

  28. I never said Kasper Andersen was a bad choice just busk Jacob was a safer option, thankfully Kasper turn out to be good. One of the worst meetings I've seen at the EWR in terms of racing but what can you do when you get a down pour before the start of the meeting. I hope you can return in better weather to see what fine racing it can produce.

  30. Oh dear, a lot of fair weather whingers on here. Weather in Scunthorpe was dry all day and 24c. Light spits and spots at around 6.30pm, track was looking good. Start was delayed due to lots of people sitting in their cars pondering to go or not into the stadium and heavy rain to the West- where the travelling fans were coming from. The track was heavy for first 4 heats and was drying out fast after that. It started raining again at heat 13, when match result was in no doubt. Heavy rain during and after heat 14, so match wound up. Basically one team wanted to race and other beaten before a wheel was turned. TJ was immaculate blasting around the track, Lambo great at reserve, a good guest In Kasper, and the rest all chipped in just where needed. Scunthorpe's ex captain Worrall and ex Scorpion Douglas kept us lively and the rest were pretty average. Your manager made a pratt of himself too!

  32. Superb meeting tonight, Plymouth's fast starting lower order meant Glasgow had to overhaul them which made it great to watch heat after heat. Ruml worked out how to ride the fast line in ht14 and was gradually reeling in Nowak who had a superb debut, much more to come from him. The only down side was the referee letting the 2 minutes run out and riders still fannying about at the tapes a minute later. Its nonsense like that that ruins the sport and puts people off. Its 2 minutes for a reason.

  37. Fantastic result for the Championship... Zmarzlik wins so many points by riders getting "out of the way" as he drives/spears his bike under them on bend three of every track... Nicki P would have him excluded time and time and time again by leaving his left leg out and sliding serenely to the fence...

  41. In all honesty I think Crump may of faired a bit better this year without the injuries. He wasnt going bad until he crashed out at Wolves (?). could be a bargain average next year but I would agree, it would be good to see him bow out in one piece.

  43. In fairness the track prior to the start was only slightly wetter than it would be for a meeting on a hot summers evening. Poole were the ones who short changed the public with there lack of drive to race. Remember the ref makes the call if it's fit to race and fair play to him . Could of been a better meeting but not everyone is a classic.

  44. Track was good until rain hit prior to start and was probably the worst meeting I have seen for several years at scunny . However only one team wanted to race the majority of the other just rode . Tac sub heat 8

  45. The sport is lucky to have people like False Dawn as a paying spectator. For the sake of speedway, I hope that your enthusiasm does not diminish should you encounter more late postponment of meetings.If it helps, I have contacts at the Met Office and they have assured me that over the next two weeks, there will definitely be some weather.
