TMW

I'd say it was more the being knocked out of 2 cups in 2 days, through away performance, aswell as the weather. Most people I know that weren't there didn't believe the meeting would go ahead or didn't want to stand out in the rain for what they called a 'nothing meeting' even though the Lions gave it all they had they had a too bigger mountain to climb...........Just saying :-)..

Yep. Turning an away meeting into a BP track argument. and my point was if they had gated they would have been ok because as Glynn pointed out there were 5 passes in 60 laps. You are right of course as most of the passes were Lions passing Lions and now riders/teammates are fighting for every position except 1st. I don't suppose DH can flaunt the rules, as other teams, as he is not yet. a fully fledged member of the gang till the next AGM :-)

I know you're lying cos it's never been 10 degrees in Scunthorpe :-)

That's the point they weren't' popping out' of the gate last night. As Glynn said there were 5 passes in 60 hts and I think 3 of those were Lion passing Lion. The track is the same for both teams even if they did grade to advantage Hall and Stead.I did expect more from Doolan but it has been said he has equipment worries. Nielson is clearly not back to the standard he was last year. Has he come back too early? and will his confidence he suffer because of it? The enigma is Nemo. and i'm sure he wont mind me saying that as it's nothing he isn't asking himself at the mo I believe. I seem to have lost the facility to* edit* posts and why is the forum now spell checking? I was going to say ; Onwards and upwards and Hall and Stead were worth the trip alone :-)

Should suit Lions down to the ground then

Rule no.2 of the forum users guide is not to upset Scunthorpe supporters :-)

Well at least they didn't count any of your riders out of contention

Really??? Is this what we are reduced to now. !!!!!!!!! This will be what you call an indepth debate!!!!!! away fans must come just to see if we have 2 heads and 6 fingers

Clearly inexperience caught the Lions out. Does that class as jumping off my fence. :-)

Sorry no gossip really or conspiracy theories. Having listened to the radio piece. Both stories are plausable as the story I heard was that Lewis just missed the 2 mins being on but it''s the last 30 secs that Glynn was talking about. I think RG knows the system and plays it but I don't think he cheats but I stand to be a corrected. If it's RG that Glynn is talking about

[quote name=volty' timestamp='1365149211' post='2261497] Glyn said the PA announcer, who happens to be the promoter, did a 10 second countdown before saying Lewis was out for 2 mins in the last heat. With 30 seconds still to go! rider and mechanic were ready but on hearing that started to return to the pits and take his helmet off. By the time the rider and mechanic realised they still had time it was too late and they were excluded for 2 minutes. Mick. That's not the story that came from the pits but each to their own

Going off topic a bit there.

I think that depends how long he is out for.

I stood on the backstraight and the dirt was flying, I had shale in my glass how rude

I think he could do with a few more (practice) meetings to be a NO1 but he was good and as Montie says Nathan Greaves was impresive infact it was a very good meeting to say none of the lads were getting paid and put to good use the valuable track time.

I'll give you a sensible answer. There is a train of thought that think DH should sell up and do one. Some people wont rest till that happens. It's not really the track it's the promoter

Lee Dicken was a revelation to be fair and it was really nice to see C Dwyer doing so well for his first meeting back but all riders did well considering the weather conditions and the fact it was a second meeting and the track may not have been as well preped as the first :-)

OK I keep getting accused of the posting the bleeding pointless. Right. Passing Bjerre seemed to manage it (he isn't my favorite) Hall seemed to manage it (I liked him when he rode for us). Only 2 riders I agree but maybe there were only 2 riders there that could the track wont help that!!!!! People are quoting the laws of physics well how is this for a law you can only go past somebody if you are going faster then them. Mistakes Riders who make mistakes when put under pressure......... isn't that the whole idea put the rider in front under pressure so he stuffs up and then you pass him .........but i'm no expert.

I'll start this one aswell then. I think most Lions supporters favor the social network medium but I am surprised at Tigers supporters apethy

Only 2 days to go getting quietly excited and slightly optimistic.

Shouldn't this discussion be moved to the relevant thread

Well everyone else is doing it so lets start a topic. Who will win? my money's on the weather ;(

All the best to Jari will miss him at BP this season

Oh ok, bit out of touch what was the qualification criteria because a couple would have missed out Connor Dwyer being 1 that springs to mind but i'm not sure of the ages of others

Isn't there another round ?
