  1. Track changed when Steve Worrall was in the team and didn't like the outside dirt line. Now he's gone who dictates the track conditions, the current senior riders, or trackman Rob???
  2. A couple of days off, but the weather forecast for Thursday and Friday looks very iffy with heavy rain and strong winds. It might test the new track drainage!
  3. Personally I hate team Kevlars and find it easier to distinguish riders with individual suits.
  4. I can't get it to print the tickets either . I have an order reference, can see the item but won't print 'em. Last year's ticketing was so much better.
  5. Scorpions non signing makes us serious non contenders!
  6. I had high hopes of the original line up, but now fear we are pretty weak. This season looks like it will be full of ups and downs and to cap it all no long weekend at Somerset and Cardiff this year either. I don't think it will be a case of which teams stay injury free, but probably a case of which teams can stay intact throughout the season with all the Covid chaos affecting riders travelling. We are fortunate for any kind of league racing ,but personally whoever comes out top ,it will feel like a hollow victory.
  7. I heard that too, but on mega terms that the management will not match.
  8. Benji Compton stands as much chance of signing for us as Danny Phillips! Macdonald is not in same class as Jake, but not many riders available, and Rob will definitely not break the bank just yet.
  9. Would the "Inner sanctum crowd" like to enlighten the mere Pleb Scorpion fans, who the new rider is?
  10. Let's just sign Rene Bach, or some wealthy sponsors get Jake back asap.
  11. Any news on Jake's replacement? Rene Bach being mentioned in rumours, that would be a good signing for us?
  12. Scunthorpe's Rising Star was confirmed to be included in the team in 2019 and was presented to a fan's forum before he was even old enough to ride for them.
  13. Berge to ride in Sweden and Poland ,so I guess he's out of the equation.
  14. Thought Edinburgh, as the senior club, had first dabs on Friday nights?
  15. School nurse used to do 300 BCG jabs in one afternoon session, so all we need is NHS to get their fingers out. Doctors- does anyone remember them, seem to be in hiding since March???
  16. No ,he will ride for the Scorpions again.
  17. Move on Jenga, Garrity didn't ride for the Scorpions, his last club was Birmingham- even shirley knows that!
  18. Been complaining about the speaker near the stand after the finishing line being poor. Its bad enough the announcer is poor added to the inadequate speaker , folk around me are constantly asking for results, riders etc.
  19. Sorry but there was lots of social distancing. I suppose you personally know all the groups of friends and relatives that can legitimately stand together? A good proportion of supporters (presumably more at risk folk ) were also wearing masks. Certain clubs are trying hard to give supporters some form of Speedway, give them credit ,rather than just knocking their efforts.
  20. Crowd limit of 500, with local Councillors in attendance to probably report back their observations. Crowd well spaced out, with 20% perhaps wearing face coverings.
  21. Think I can evacuate far easier from the EWR than I could Cardiff. I don't think the local authority will count people through the gates for such a low ranking meeting-unless the council worker is on overtime! Lets face it how many speedway meetings in UK are at full capacity in good times never mind with a Pandemic lurking.
  22. First come, first served and there will be a limit . However if Rob gets a crowd of over 6902 I am sure he will be delighted. If he gets over 400 it will be a bumper crowd for a youth meeting.
