Ok, can't do anything about a heavy downpour that was forecast on several weather apps. The promotor was straight out after the rain stopped, actually driving the tanker sucking the water off, so he was being very proactive in trying to get the meeting on. If the call had gone out for 20 odd volunteers to help sweep off the rain water, I am sure they would have helped. Even our number 7 , young Harrison , was keen to sweep the start finishing area! What was a major failing, was keeping the crowd informed and entertained. Just playing the same tape over and over was plain lazy ( All aboard, all aboard...!) What is the point having an announcer in the box if they are unable to communicate with the crowd. Why no rider interviews to break the boredom- new team members, new female etc? From the demeanour of the team manager and Worky captain, on their track walk after sterling remedial work, it was obvious they had no desire to ride. Don't know what Babs Horley was saying to the riders, but personally I have seen worse tracks raced upon? The second shower sealed the event end and finally a decision was forced. To cap it all , the farce to get tickets stamped/ refunds needs to be addressed. Surely someone could direct the crowd to what was happening , which side to queue, what procedures etc. Maybe the tickets should be date stamped as they are being sold on entering the stadium, just a thought? I only had to travel 5 miles home, but did wish the Workington fan parked next to me, a safe journey home for his wasted time and money. As others have said not a good opener, we must do better all round.

Weather can't make its mind up what to do, rain one minute ,then sun next. Every forecast site shows different weather?

If its wet and dark you need wellies and a torch!

Riders will have 500cc Diesel engines.

So hoodies bought at back end of the season are now redundant. Suppose it will be like football kits and new version (or two) every season! Attis spend much greater amount on sponsorship of SUFC though.

1) Poole 2) Scunthorpe 3) Redcar 4) Glasgow 5) Berwick 6) Oxford 7) Workington 8) Edinburgh 9) Plymouth

Would have liked Gilkes in the team, but it is what it is for this dumbed down league. Personally Mountain and Ablitt did not do enough to warrant re signing, but I hope they kick on in the new season and prove me wrong. If Lambo gets to number 1 ,super fan Scunny Dan will be ecstatic!

Good luck travelling to Scunthorpe, Oxford, Poole and Plymouth in 3 hours.

Neither Mountain or Ablitt did enough to warrant a return. Gilkes would be a good addition.

Lives in Chesterfield ,very central and straight on the motorway network.

No gate price reduction then?

Whoever we decide it will still be an underwhelming team compared with last years.

Pickering would be awesome. Best away rider seen around the EWR.

Has Dougy committed to Poland yet and been offered a team spot ? If not ,then team plans would change drastically I guess.

On our attendances, not a chance of us racing Monday ,Wednesday or Thursday. First and foremost Rob is a business man and must see it as mistake moving up a league. The only positive is we get a local derby back against the Sheffield Tigers.

Naah, the rumour is he's a Scorpion again

Will Steve drive 30 minutes down the M180 to the EWR, or 5 hours up the M6/M74 to Glasgow?

That's it keep up your daily average!!!! Definitely OCD on this forum. If you don't like people to see how many posts you have, then edit your profile

Sorry can't be bothered to trawl through your 14677 posts, or average of 2.5 posts per day ,every day since 2007!!!

Why must you repeat my response and everyone else's???

His cut out came out, that is according to Poole website interview.

I saw quite a few on the stream walking out after heat 14 too.

Be as pedantic as you like. We won and we are Knock Out Cup Champions. Now lets get back to the p take of the whinging, bottling, Runners up

Well done Scorpions Knockout Cup Champions 2023!!! Guess who is nailed on for first signing for 2024 season?

Saturday forecast looks well dodgy, or should that be well for Dougy!!!
