Can the reserve be used throughout the meeting in place of either of the pair.

The only positive scunny can take from this meeting is Ryan Douglas looked better, did I hear he was on Lee Dicken's bike, I am beginning to think he might be good rider if he got some better equipment.

Every time Cardiff comes around this discussion starts and every time countless people come on this thread to say that they don't care about the pre entertainment. If you don't care why bother even looking at this thread.

Lewis Blackbird in for Josh Bates, see greensheets on BSPA website.

Towards the end of the meeting there was only one line but earlier on there was at least 6 passes on the inside, thats more than some tracks get in a whole meeting.

It was a good meeting better than anyting on sky so far this year, having said that it was the worst meeting I have seen at scunny this year, track didn't seem to have as much dirt on as usual.

Your right about the top 5, I hope your right about the playoffs.

I agree riders do need time to settle in, but have scunny got that time. If scunny had gary Irving at reserve we would be ok but as it is we have got two reserves that need time to settle in and its costing us crucial points in the race for the playoffs. The top 5 have been pulling their weight just look at the ipswitch match.

I think I would make changes now, Emiliano Sanchez for Dougles, tom young for Bates. The way rolling averages work, from the 1st of may our top 5 will have all upped their averages totaling 34.01, leaving 8.49 for our final 2 riders. If Ryan is riding at 3.6 that only leaves about 4.89 for a final rider and that means MPT will still ride in the main body of the team.

I don't think gates 2 and 3 where disadvantaged because riders nearly always watch the magnet rather than the tapes.

Quality racing as always at the EWR, I think Scunny will have to make a change at reserve if they going to make the play offs.

Since when does the national league team come before the premier league team. Have we seen the last of Josh Bates?

Can someone please tell me how the polish meeting rules differ from ours, i.e tactical subs, reserve riders, maximum and minimum number of rides that can be taken.

I do see alot of potential in Bates and I believe given enough time he will be a good rider, but on the other hand scunny have got to target the playoffs and I am not sure we can make it with the current team.

I like the updates, but why interview the riders when they could point the camera at the racing.

I think this will be very close, I am predicting a draw.

I am not sure about scunthorpes riding order...1. Josh Auty, 2. Thomas Jørgensen (Denmark), 3. Michael Palm Toft (Denmark), 4. Ashley Birks, 5. David Howe, 6. Josh Bates, 7. Ryan Douglas (Australia). Jørgensen at 2 with auty, i think I would have gone for.....1. Josh Auty, 2. Ashley Birks, 3.David Howe , 4.Michael Palm Toft, 5. Thomas Jørgensen, 6. Josh Bates, 7. Ryan Douglas (Australia).

I would also like to see a technical insight into tracks instead of a fans view, but an index would be a waste of space imo.

Not sure what to make of this signing, on the one hand he could be good rider for the future on the other it leaves scunny 1.3 below the points limit and looking a bit suspect at reserve.

I would switch birks and toft round.

Josh did a fine bit of team riding with Nick Morris in heat 15 of the playoff final to secure the league. I am not saying hes a saint but he does team ride when its needed.

I think this meeting will be on tv for the following reasons... 1.This meeting is on a wednesday when the preceding two fridays are free for both clubs. 2.sky love going to Somerset 3.Its a replay of last years final.

I read in speedway star the 3-3 bonus point is to be scraped in the premier league. Is this the worst rule change ever?

Like you said before a very dodgy decision, in my eyes Davis was never catching the scunny riders.
