Think most of your riders prefer our track to yours too! Bad night for the Scorpions and the track prep was poor and drastically under watered. Well done Lions your gating was better than ours and with no outside line the racing by our usual standards, was pretty average. We are now looking over our shoulders, watching teams below catching up in the league points, our remaining matches look well difficult too.

Compulsory 8 day lay off for concussion when riding for Wolves v K Lynn.

Yes that move is correct. Still no word on Jordan's collar bone issue? Think Tero is on his way out too?

Well that's another away team looking weak unless we get some good replacements. Nothing on the Scunthorpe website less than 24 hours to tapes up.

I am sure the ex Scorpions, Jake and MPT will score heavily against us, but agree it could be a good meeting. Is it pay on the gate now?

Maybe Eastbourne are in more bother than they are letting on?

Well done Adam!!!

Will not be Ellis as he left Scunny straight after heat 15 for a quick getaway to ride somewhere abroad this weekend.

Well rider replacement makes this one even harder to predict and could go either way. Jake and Tofty may well scupper our chances and we need our reserves to step up and score big.

How many of that team in the current line up though???

Looks a difficult meeting on paper and everyone needs to be on their A game. Having said that, the potentially difficult home matches were easier won and the harder matches were against the lesser fancied teams.

Massive amount of points to replace our number 1 and we go r/r!!! All we can hope for is a rain off, pretty poor from our promotion.

Personally I would rather pay £17 with a free programme at Scunny, than have to pay extra admission or, extra payment for a programme.

If Scunthorpe Scorpions really have ambition, then Mr Godfrey has to bite the bullet again and make changes. Loyalty goes out of the window and Josh Macdonald has to go, we cannot carry passengers. I don't care if he has come halfway around the world .

Ellis is expected to gain more points at away matches, that was Rob's thinking, so lets see how it pans out starting tonight.

Sometimes a win seems like a loss-gave a point to the Bandits tonight.

A very fair and balanced write up of the match on the Edinburgh Monarchs site.

Saw something from him saying hopefully back next week. Nothing broken but battered and bruised.

I am sure even the most fervent away supporters from Glasgow and Edinburgh must have enjoyed their visits to the EWR, despite the results for them. The last 30 Championship heats at the EWR have produced some exceptional racing and all credit to riders of the three teams. Yesterday from the outset it was clear The Monarchs are a top heavy team and fairly weak for the other 4 positions. Around the EWR , any of the Scorpion riders are capable of big scores and Yesterday that proved the case. Jordan Palin had a terrific meeting for someone still very young and learning their trade and looks a fine prospect for the future big stage. Special shout out to our guest, sometimes guests just go through the motions, but yesterday Ully was well up for the task. It was nice to see him taking his plaudits and ever smiling, well done sir. Only negative from the meeting ,after two showers I am still getting shale out of my hair!

Tight wad, just pay your quid. Hope you get it back

Must have been in the stand after the start where the P.A. system is crap.

Well at least the weather forecast is looking much better! Hope Tero is ok and Jake does better than at Leicester tonight.

Market Hill Fisheries Winterton- one of the best in the country according to Telegraph.

It worked fine on Friday night 10+1.

Always on a wing and a prayer when riders double up, knowing they are racing on Thursday and then for us on the Friday. Well at least Josh is back
