  1. Huge city, with many satellite towns surrounding it, I am also perplexed why attendances are so low at Owlerton. What bugs me most is trying to get out after a meeting and traffic lights on to Penistone road letting out about 3 vehicles, before they change back to red. My record for longest wait to get onto A61 is 48 minutes for what 250 yards? Still looking forward to our local derby though
  2. Top 6 in no order Monarchs Witches Panthers Comets Scorpions Yorkshire Tigers Having said all that I think all teams look quite evenly matched this season. Just a case of keeping injury free wins titles in my opinion.
  3. From what I can glean of the Sheffield line up it looks a strong team and defo one of the league contenders. Good luck to our local rivals, but don't to gel as a team until after the Scorpions opening match with you Tigers!
  4. You are going to be so spoilt at the EWR racing against the Scorpions-big wide open spaces and racing lines a plenty
  5. Welcome to the Panthers to PL ,now looking forward to a new Tuesday venue. p.s. Best thing about Lincolnshire is the mighty Scorpions.
  6. Nick Morris is already in Rebel's 2014 line up,rather have Captain Birks and Jorgy personally.
  7. Either would do fine, maybe a Peterboro rider in the mix now?
  8. Excellent news with signing Josh, but who will be our new number 1 ???
  9. I, like Tai, was born in Scunthorpe, does that make me an Aussie? His Father and Mother were born here,his Father died here and his Mother still lives on the outskirts of Scunthorpe-give it a rest folks we have a World Champion and he is British and a Scunthonian.
  10. Rob, won with a mini wheelie over the line. Hoggy missed the gate completely.
  11. "Meeting had a nice, end-of-season feel to it." Where you been at the end of seasons then? Not dark,not wet not cold and no fancy dress Halloween or Fireworks. Did not feel end of season at all to me, more like robbed of at least a months Friday night speedway. Oh well Hollyoaks, Emmerdale and Corrie for next 6 months....zzzzz.
  12. Were the Scorpions exceptionally good, were the Tigers poor ?-have to say a bit of both. All the Scorpions seemed determined to go for the points, from the front, from the back,inside line ,around the boards- just so much more effort. Apart from the Tigers guests ,Sheffield were very poor. Did not enjoy watching Compton being destroyed by the Scorpions, from a man who has taken so many points from us in the past perhaps retirement looms again? A poor ending to Mr Machin's last match,I feel for him.
  13. Like Superstar says -word on the grapevine says this has already been called off due to bad weather forecast?
  14. Read it again ,it never mentions keeping all 5. As for reserves, 1 was a gamble that has taken all season to come half good and other NL reserve was never good enough for PL level.
  15. David Howe has been under performing all season and his heart never looked in it. Its a pity, but I would have done my damdest to keep Nick Morris at the end of last season and let DH go instead,however the damage is done and season virtually over now...
  16. Echo all these comments, I have seen the jeers and cheers all over the country when the opposition falls, not really malice more the other teams good fortune. Its not right but it happens. Hope Ricky makes a full recovery and is back to entertain all speedway fans in the non too distant future.
  17. Sunny sky, 24c , chance of localised showers later-track should be good.
  18. Rob thinks we will be in top 6 also, but the realist in me says both teams are too far adrift to make the playoffs
  19. Not good enough from our number 5, he is going backwards this year.
  20. Well I predicted Ash to be Captain Birks again. I now predict David Howe will leave Scunthorpe before this season ends. Blatently took out his team mate two weeks running, not looking where he was going-hope he gave Ryan the 3 points money he robbed for that heat!.
  21. Weather update 2 miles from track, rain has stopped , drying wind and can see sunny clouds 20 miles away heading this way. Hopefully track is just well watered and perfect for 7.30 tapes up.
