Thought Godfrey said last year he had Luke Harrison on a 5 year contract?

Just had a heavy shower, but sky clearing and no more rain expected.

Last match of a very poor season for the Scorpions. Which way will it go, will Scorpions find some winning ways, or will the Bears take it? Heart says Scorpions win, head says Bears win. Probably more media interest on round 2 of Allen v Wright with air fence on bend one/ two taking first hit.😁

Updates says 197 viewing, but I can't see it either?

David is right. I don't know how much input he has on team building, or if Rob has final say. It was clear to everyone at the start of the season that the team was mediocre and would not be contenders. I have a lot of respect for Rob and what he does at the EWR ,but his major failing this year was being too loyal to last years team. He also took a massive gamble on bringing back Worrall after a year out and the Kennedy brothers (one obviously never ridden in UK ). Lambert sorry to see him struggle, but a year too far for him. Unfortunately Luke, the only one doubling up , has faded since joining Kings Lynn. Jake needs a better tuner since he has been fantastic on the bends, but constantly easily passed on the straights. Connor has been consistent but should have kicked on more. Gone are the days when several riders would offer their bikes to a struggling rider, its sad but no longer much team playing , just individuals looking after themselves.

Agreed, Harrison to stay ,the other 6 gone for me.

What did he say???

I want 6 changes next year. Pay Douglas, or Pickering big money and give us a genuine number 1 for starters.

Jake injured, we will do well to save a point.

We have the same with Luke Harrison, young riders just learning their trade. They have good rides as a reserve and get bumped up into the main body of the team and struggle . It happens far to often and the newcomers need some sort of protection at this level.

I will be happy if we get a respectable tally of points after our recent away performances. An away win would be good , but I live in hope!

That will pay for his fuel from Boston to Glasgow and back.

Well he has put plenty of laps in around Berwick, Redcar and Kings Lynn. He is only in his second season , but like many other youngsters its difficult moving into the main body of the team from the reserve position.

The way we Scorpions are performing, you probably will beat us on Friday!

We have two decent reserves and 5 inconsistent riders above them not doing what they should.

Mountain, Harrison and Worrall to stay, the remainder to move on. Need a big hitter at number one , Douglas Klint, Pickering, Cook all go well at the EWR? Take away the large contingent of Edinburgh fans and the attendance would have been pretty poor. Its all over for this year, racing to the bottom for the wooden spoon. Every team has made positive changes apart from us, that says it all for this season. We started with a mediocre team and have ridden to that standard all season.

We are so inconsistent and with several riders under performing, who knows what the outcome will be. Hope MPT doesn't get a maximum, just to rub his exclusion from this years Scorpion team.

Wish the guy in the box would stop pumping up the volume on the music, as its just too loud. Maybe he was a 70's DJ.😁

We had already lost the meeting and due to race at Workington 20 hours later. Two riders who have lost form at home and needed the track time to try out different things. A telling feature of this years team is nobody is doubling up, ( apart from Luke sharing Rising Star position at KL.) I think actual racing is needed to hone their skills. Congrats to the Pirates ,just better in the latter part of the meeting. No idea why we watered and graded the track when we were winning, after that we went downhill?

Weather warning for thunder storms. If it start, I think the ref will be pushing heats through very quickly.

I'm going up for this one too, but hopefully the weather won't be a spoiler.

Shows just how thick you are!!! There is no such thing as a prostrate removal, but thanks for worrying about my Appendectomy and my PROSTATE is still intact

If he didn't have keyhole surgery then it will not be a week or so-trust me, I had emergency surgery and still have the 5 inch scar.

Think Lambo and Luke will do so much better this Friday than at Plymouth.
