i dont think the main moan is getting him banned, we all wanted him withdrawn from the meeting,hence the protest, the ref said he couldnt, scunny showed him in the rule book he could, all this talk about getting him banned is blown out of proportion, but if the scb decided it was dangerous to warrant a ban then so be it
-
we all called him a really bad man, and asked politely of the nice man in the refs box to not let mr tungate ride again.when mr clarke said no we all said "oh never mind then, lets carry on because we didnt think he did anything wrong anyways", as mr clarke walked back to the box we all clapped and cheered him and pattted his back and contgratulated on his decision

any news on a guest for scunny? -
Pob...i was saying, as the ref was filling in the programme and didnt see the incident, his report to the scb will state that and will probably side with the refs findings, with video evidence the scb will be able to see what happened.... did josh get fined for delaying the start? or entering the pit box?

i cant see a problem putting the footage out there, i know rob was asking if any one had it videoed at the end and i told them you or ya brother had.im not sure how rob needs this footage, either a youtube clip or a hard copy for the scb?, if rob could lets us know whats required then i could download the clip and put it on a disc and hand it to him.im sure the scb would just go along with what report the ref put in, as the ref didnt see the incident (he was filling in his prog along with someone else who should of seen it), so i guess like football the scb would go with video evidence?. the ref should of used common sense not not let him ride again, i dont know the regs if he could of or not but the crowd were incensed and tempers were flared. which went to show when morris kicked out at nike on the line... no morris was not sliding off he had a pop at him, if he had hit him then nike could of hit the wire fence to god no what injury, yes wilcko shouldnt of tried to kick out at neilsen, also it sickens me that so called "fans" on here say josh got what he derserved,

now school hols are nearly upon us, how about all kids for free? fans on here and facebook saying its too dear for families other wise they would attend.could some one supply a bouncy castle or an inflatable slide for them to play on,could be put near mini track and turn 4? as i mentioned before, put one of wayne carters bikes near the pits for adults and kids to sit on for photos, maybe have a race bib on for photos, then pretend youre a scorpion. -

i dont like to slag riders off, all are heroes but when it comes to guests how many would pass like jorgy did for a 5.1?did he have too? no, did he want too? yep, i believe birksy would, tofty would, barker would, they are racers, some would of settled for 3d and the points pay.jorgy HAS to be back, the fans relate to him, same as josh, same as ryan,same as birks, same as tofty,.wilcko is scunny through and through and will give and support scunny 110%, jorgy and ryan need to be pairing, and im sure they are best mates,give the stay awayfans what they want and they will return,

good shout about galnford park outsider, what happens to the seats etc when it gets knocked down? sold, given away, reused? maybe in the off season if we carry on we could do a fans clean and paint day? dont newcastle do that? at weekends we come down with a paint brush or two and spruce it up, also everyone who attends a meeting has to realise what rob does, its not just turning up maybe an hour before a meeting like we do, he is there bascially 24/7 53 weeks of the year,its his baby and we need to back him, one good thing to come of this is we are all talking now and it is out there for all to see, radio 1 now, this forum, facebook and twitter, hopefully robs love of the sport has been rekindled with that, same as those who have stayed away, they know the racing is spot on, if its because a certain rider or riders dont race now or because ones injured or because we may not win this week so im not paying to find out,get back down to us, time is not on your side to sit it out until we do have a rider you like, back rob and the team, also please dont leave just as heat 15 is starting if you really dont have too, people moan that there are not crowd or rider interaction,when we win a match the riders will do a victory walk, its wasnt a one off,they will walk through the crowd, congratulate them , shake their hands, everyone rider really does appreciate it, if youre on the 1st or 2nd bends get down to the start line just after the flag. on little moan though.. cant remember if rider theme tunes were played, please pump em out when we do.

do people say 15 quid is too much because thats what its been decided, i mean if the entrance to all tracks was reduced to say 10 to 12 over all premier league tracks, over say 5 or 6 years would poeople complain about it being to high and then say its not a 10 sport its a 5er sport?some say its £50 to come each week so thats £200 a month which thinking about is hell of a lot, especially if they do footy too and most will weigh up which is more for me... ok footy/ instead of running every week couldlnt clubs run everyother week like footy? or would that make the entrance fee rise? it wouldnt work for scunny i think because its mainly full of shiff workers like myself who have to miss everyother friday unless i book a day off, also scunny does offer value for money its just what you consider to be that.. people say put 2nd halves on,,, most of the time he does with youngsters doing 2 or 4 team matches, so youre getting extra racing for nothing yet most of the fans wont stop to see it, yet most of the posts on here or facebook moan about not seeing young uns coming through, people say i want to see racing start at 7.30 and finish by 8.30 9.00 with no delays and then moan because scunny dosnt go intervals so miss races when they go for food,i personally get there as early as possible for gates opening and try to stay untill kicking out time so for me my £15 gives me 4 hours of entertainment. just one more thing... i was at cardiff last week and belle vue had a stall with a bike outside for people to sit on and do reaction times on it. what if rob got a practice bike out from wayne carters lock up, stick it near the pit gate and bill and bens shop for kids to sit on, even adults, people were flocking to sit on it and having photos, gave them that once in a lifetime chance to be a rider and it does cost a cent -
and this is why crowds at scunny are dwindling...not supporting a team.....one post on facebook mirrored this quote..."scunny havent built a solid looking side for a couple of seasons and dosent exite me enough to want to go and watch them"...ok then stay away until we do build a team you like or get a rider you like...oh hang on the club wont run by them, talk about supporting your team, dont make me laugh
