I'm going to be slightly more positive with this reply. Troy after a horrendous two meetings has looked much better today. I honestly thought he was done but he's made this meeting slightly less embarrassing than it could've been. Hook has also looked decent.

Tate isn't the same rider as last year but hopefully he picks up soon. I feel sorry for Bowes because he really needed his team mates to help him out while he learns the UK tracks. I think he'll do fantastic tomorrow though (I hope). Vuolas is great but like last year he struggles at most away tracks. I think the promotion hoped that Jye would return with new equipment and become the rider of old which hasn't happened. The reserves will be decent this season. Hook has done okay today and Vinnie would prefer to hug the air fence. However, Vinnie is a fantastic rider and he'll improve.

Some big decisions to be made. This scoreline is embarrassing and there will be a drop in the numbers attending if it carries on.

Its going to be a long season unfortunately. Too much inexperience and off form riders.

Could've jumped back on the thing and still won it

A lot share that opinion. He's no where near a top rider in the NDL and he'll only score tomorrow if mechanical gremlins come along for our riders.

Mark Parker actually rode for us (comets) last season against yous after the airport mess up. He was very far off the pace.

I think we need a realist in here. I travelled to scunny to watch us get embarrassed. That shouldn't be happening. It doesn't matter how many meetings we've had under our belt. No team should get that embarrassed by scunthorpe.

Why you wanting cookie gone?

I'd take Worrall over batch but I like Vuolas

Did you go to watch the speedway or complain about every little thing that has very little to do with the racing.

I've heard he is fit but just had no offers.

Zero entertainment. Track is and always will be shocking. They've even resorted to putting cheerleading on to try to up the entertainment factor.

What an awful track. It's like most clubs mini track. Gate and go. Whoever is past the first bend wins.

I just wanted to know what he said. Let a guy dream

Tell me more about Nicholls sounding interested?

Retaining batch can be the wrong decision but that doesnt mean dropping cookie was wrong also. The antics cookie pulled last season were out of order and not acceptable. Letting your team know you aren't turning up 20 minutes prior to a meeting starting isn't acceptable. Not being contactable through the whole of winter whilst you're supposed to be preparing for the new season is not acceptable. It's clear batch isn't a no.1 and his spitting the dummy attitude isn't acceptable but cookie can be just as bad. You can only go off what you know and the promotion knew that batch attended every meeting without fail.

Some harsh comments here. Yes it isn't acceptable by Batch but his bike was awful today. I agree it wasn't good enough. Why didn't he choose his second bike? However, he wasn't pulled up at the back because he was losing. His bike was just rubbish.

His argument was he wants a slick track to get some consistency for the home lads in hope that consistent good performances at home carry over to away meetings. I know naff all about track prep so god knows

Cookie was interviewed by BSN and he stated he's working with the club to get a more slick track

Sam Mcgurk incoming

I'm confident both will have very good seasons. Antti will continue his great form around comets and I hope he can push on away from home. Denham put him as out no.5 against Edinburgh. Not sure if that's the plan going forward or it's because tate looks low on confidence.

It pissed down all day yesterday. The track was obviously suffering from the downpour the day before.

Monarchs will score nothing because it'll be getting cancelled

Weather forecast has taken a turn for the worse this morning. Last night I was really hopeful. This morning not so much. Glasgow have cancelled their meeting and I can see Edinburgh following suit. Would be nice to know before 1pm when I set off though.
