I am embarrassed to see my team looking so weak. Injury to TJ aside, Ellis ,Arnio and Pjiper have let us down. Not that bothered if we have seen the back of all three to be honest.

Think you are pretty safe not getting the Scorpions. If you do I will donate my wages this month to charity!

So what does he pay his riders for loss of potential earnings??? If we didn't have a huge gap of no racing in the middle of summer we would not be in this situation.

Not quite what was said. Rob Godfrey joked to Jake that if he scored like he did against us again ,he would not be riding for us next year. Jake scored 14+1 in our home meeting ,then went on to score 15 points at your home meeting later in the season. So Jake took little notice of Rob's tongue in cheek, jokey threat!

You be pedantic, I'll be positive.

Sorry, but its a done deal. Rob and Jake are big mates and the only reason Jake was not a Scorpion this year is because Rob was loyal when he signed Josh Macdonald, to cover for Jake not riding this year. Jake then later changed his mind and Rob being loyal to Josh ,could not renege on his deal to let him ride. Rob then had the gut wrenching task of telling Jake he could not let Josh down, hence his temporary move to Redcar.

Scorpions have bought Jake Allen's contract from Somerset. To all intents and purposes Jake will be a Scorpion again next season. Yes, yes, yes some good news to a poor season end for us.

Are we to assume that their is no organised coach to Leicester, as was discussed at the last after meeting forum???

Worries over Sheffield is off due to rain.

Lets just hope that Connor and Adam do not pick up any injuries tonight at Sheffield, or we will be further in the mire.

Yes ,but will you waste your fuel on a trip to watch a pointless second leg with a patched up side, on a not so fabulous track at Leicester???

Massive loss to us with TJ injured. Who can we get, Barker, Wethers, NBJ, Crump, Flint??? We are now pretty much screwed at home and the away fixture doesn't bare thinking about!

Think we have seen the last of Tero. We will need a huge lead to take to the Lions den, can't really see that .

That was because it was after Cardiff GP and convenient for Glasgow supporters to take in a match en route northwards .

I would race at home Friday,try and get a lead and then try and hold on away personally.

Last thing we want is a slick track. We have racers who like to ride the fence.

Friday night tracks are much more consistent than afternoon tracks at the EWR.

Drew is a much better rider than Paco.

Whatever the result, Scorpions will still end up higher than Plymouth yet again!!!

Can understand you like an early finish what with that drive back to Australia!!!

Depending on which Jake Allen turns up, could be a close call.

Really Josh Mac riding for the Brummies, who have to win to overcome the Scorpions to 6th in the league!!! Josh is a Scorpion, I give up , only in British Speedway???

Rob's speakers have been hit and miss for years now. His centre field microphone is also pretty poor, surprisingly we can hear the official result announcer ok. Just to compound the P.A system, the one in the clubhouse is also pants!

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!
