Rob always says it how it is and keeps the fans informed about what's going on. Would you rather him say nothing and then shut up shop on the 31st of August.

Maybe Scunthorpe could put on a fund raising meeting at the end of the year invite all the past Scunthorpe riders. Surely Woffinden would find time to help Scunny through this difficult season.

I think the standard of Premier league is higher than when Scunthorpe first moved up to the PL in 2008....... 2008 team Andy Moore Carl Wilkinson Magnus karlsson Vicktor Bergstrom Richard Hall Byron Bekker Benji Compton This team finished 10th out of 16. I think crowds have dropped to some extent due to the poor results and maybe due to the working class people of Scunthorpe having less spare cash to spend on speedway. From Scunthorpe's point of view a shake up of the leagues in 2016 might be good, with some of the bigger PL clubs going EL and some of the bigger NL teams joining the PL.

Can I ask why you attended, you must have seen previous GPs at Cardiff on the tv. The racing was on a par with previous years.

I guess there might be a few less poles with Hampel out and KK not going well and the Warsaw fiasco. With Woffinden strong favourite there will probably be more British support though.

I agree but not sure Auty is the best example, he is only due to miss 7 meetings.

I really hope you do keep speedway going, ideally at premier league level but if cash is tight would you consider dropping Scunthorpe back down to the national league in 2016?

I believe Scunthorpe operate on quite a tight budget, on paper the team looked mediocre but unfortunately injuries have wrecked our season. The poor Scunthorpe side still managed to beat Workington by 16 at the EWR.

I am not sure the asset system complies with free trade rules. Scunthorpe had no problem with David signing for Glasgow but they were not happy with his first meeting back being against Scunthorpe. They could have easily delayed the deal until after the meeting but instead did Glasgow a favour with the assumption that the favour would be repaid.

Maybe Lawson should have received a fine for delaying proceedings. The Berge exclusion was wrong, that should have been Wilko or all 4 back, not a good night for the ref. Sounds like Glasgow broke a gentlemen's agreement using a guest for Sarjeant.

Only in Sweden would the crowd politely clap when one rider takes another out with a diving head lock.

From David's statement it sounds like Scunthorpe dropped him but in speedway star he said he wouldn't come back until he was fully fit. Did Glasgow make him an offer he couldn't refuse?

Does heat 1 stand?

In time for next Friday? Can they use Birks for him?

Well I thought it was a mistake not using a guest for Josh Auty but you can't argue with the perfect display from Birks. I was surprised how poor Workington were, I expected more Hansen and Bach. I think the slicker track actually suited Scunny riders. Do Glasgow have priority over Lawson?

Could use Ben Barker now the Berwick meeting is off.

I think I would prefer a guest for Auty, could of got someone like Josh Grajczoneck.

I have watched a lot of meetings at Scunny and I would say generally the best racing occurs from about heat 3 to about heat 12, towards the end of the meeting the dirt line does get a bit wide IMO. I also think at the end of meetings there are a higher proportion of first bend crashes as riders race to get to the dirt line. Dragging the dirt back a little might mean a longer a grading break but it could improve the racing and safety. I do think Scunny is the best race track in the country and a relatively safe one at that but there is always room for improvement. I hope Rob isn't tearing his hair out with the way this season is going, seems like everything is going wrong.

The abuse the officials will get when a rider gets badly injured in heat 10 in these situations.

Is safety paramount or is getting a result? It somehow or always gets too dangerous right after heat 10.

I didn't know you could use a guest that long, I assumed there was a time limit.

How long can Sheffield use a guest for Simon Stead.

Do attendances go up if a speedway team moves up a league, in my experience they don't but interesting to hear what others think.

Starke's performance came as no surprise he was excellent last time he came to the EWR, he loves to ride the outside line.

The embarrassing team also took a point at Berwick.
