  1. You just know Steve and TJ will find some pace and score heavily
  2. Danny Ayres fantastic lad on and off the track. Always gives 100% effort and always gives the fans a wave and thanks. We have had the pleasure at Scunthorpe to listen to his after match comments several times this season and he comes across as a genuine nice guy, quite humble, fiercely self critical and keen to learn to improve at every opportunity. Hope his injury today at Mildenhall has not put paid to his excellent season. Get well soon Danny.
  3. I will settle for a draw but not even hopeful of that with our away form. Probably be a dust bowl with the strong breeze drying even the wettest track after a few heats.
  4. Unlucky heat 15, when on a 5-1 Ben Barker sheds a chain and is spat off the bike gifting Brummies a draw. Curse of the number 1 position continues for us. It was obvious to one and all Jason would take loads of points from this meeting to show Rob the error of his ways. Bright note was young Ryan Kinsley showing his gating skills and his liking for riding the fence.
  5. Light shower over the track now, but blue sky right behind it, so perfect speedway track
  6. Only 30% chance of rain ,that's pretty good odds on it being fine. Get some water down Rob and get an outside line to work to give us a fair chance of a win.
  7. Danny Ayres heroics in heat 19 of British Championship can be seen on sports page on Scunthorpe Live site. An awesome ride!!!
  8. Josh Auty now in British final replacing Robert Lambert. Good luck to Simon and Danny too for tonight's big event
  9. Fair play to the Tigers your heat leaders did what was expected. For us, Danny had his only poor meeting since joining and I am sure he will be totally gutted, as he wears his heart on his sleeve somewhat. Rambo should have had more points with his experience and Ryan is on a too long a lean spell-another victim of young lads making the big jump up a league and struggling. The biggest shocker was the track again. No outside line is a massive hindrance, with our boys searching for dirt that was just not there and going backwards. For a track that had supposedly 1000s of gallons taken off it yesterday, it seemed totally devoid of moisture, with dust flying everywhere from heat 2 onwards. For people saying what a great meeting it was, well perhaps the regular fans have been spoilt and most saying the racing was not so good this week. Josh, Stefan Jake and Ben battled hard but they like riding the fence and we did not prepare the track for home advantage. We can only hope lessons are learnt. Last complaint , How long do we have to endure crap public address system ? Can someone teach Roger to work the P.A system in the bar too!!!
  10. My spy in city centre says not raining and just cloudy, but hey ho, just go up the M18 for a speedway fix at Scunny.
  11. For travelling fans, current weather is cloudy, but dry, light breeze and 16 degrees. Supposed to stay similar all day.
  12. Jason is a good entertainer off track too, we will miss him in the after meeting clubhouse get togethers. You might need a bleep machine to edit some of his comments though.
  13. The official Scorpion word is deafening! Think the supporters will be split 50/50 on letting Jason go and keeping Ben. Cannot knock Ben, he has not had a bad meeting home or away, so Rob and co must have suspected Jason's full recovery for their decision?
  14. Lets wait and see how long the injuries are going to take for Jason and Stefan to resume. We could be forced into making team changes and Ben could be with us to the end of our season.
  15. Agree, strengthens the Lions, Doolan was impressive around the EWR last time out. Think it will be all down to which reserves are on form-hopefully ours. At this moment in time weather forecast looks dubious.
  16. Actually Redcar 0 Scunthorpe 3, but you Wucky fans can just keep boring the pants off us
  17. Yay £2 off admission, that gets me as far as the M18
  18. Never seen a track eat rear wheels! Kyle Howarth wore out his tyre, but remaining 13 riders didn't whinge . According to the Scorpions they had much more severe tyre wear at Somerset last week. Personally I would rather see a racers track than a "technical track" to be better entertained.
  19. Cannot see Stefan being fit after being knocked off whilst guesting in the Premier League again?
  20. Sheffield has nearly 8 times the population of Scunthorpe and plenty of satellite towns nearby. Scunthorpe is much more rural ,with a population much reliant on the major steel employer- whose perilous state many families worry about. Agree about the fixture list and the weather gaps are also making it a very disjointed season for us all.
