NEWCASTLE - Steve Worrall, Max Clegg, Lasse Bjerre, Matt Wethers, Thomas Jorgensen, Jacob Buckhave, Danny Phillips
SCUNTHORPE - Josh Auty, R/R, Danny Ayres, Stefan Nielsen, Ty Proctor (g), Dave Wallinger (g), Ryan Kinsely
Evenly matched in my opinion, but i'll go for a 48-42 Diamonds victory
Have heard that Glasgow nor Newcastle didn't want this Friday too... plus, seeing the weather this week, the track I would say is damaged enough and with more rain due, theres no way God himself would be able to get a track suitable for a proper race meeting
Sure I read in Speedway Star maybe a week or two back Anders would be the guest for Bailey for this meeting. I'd also use Ryan for Jason, if allowed.. Tigers defo favourites for the meeting, but hoping the Scorpions can pull it out the bag
Enjoyed that, despite the result. Auty really disappointing, and much like Scunny1 Bailey's starting to become a worry, Ryan can be excused as he's never seen the place. Jake and Danny were awesome!
Do believe the ref (Seth Perkin) finished his training at the end of last year, but do think he held the tapes a bit too long.. A good meeting between 2 decent sides.. Heats 13 and 15 WOW, if anyone managed to film them on a cameraphone then please post them up here as they was out of this world
I'm not one to agree with what Rob did, but however, he certainly isn't ready for Championship racing. National League would help him but not sure if he'd be allowed to compete in that level. Riders look good in practice on their own, as Jedd did, but when there's 3 other riders by you, its a totally different ball game
First load of heats, boring... was starting to think Leicester was the home team by the (lack of) racing and the follow the leader stuff... Heats 11 to 15 was decent, apart from the fact the place was a dustbowl.. A bit of watering would have helped surely? Congrats to Leicester on their win, helps Scunny out a bit, when it comes to the best runners up
Do think this will be the toughest test of the Season for the Scorpions, but think we have enough in the tank to win it... just! Be happy with a 47-43 or 46-44 win to the Scorpions... but be even better if we sent the Penistone Prowlers back without any points!
