Just bought the stream too so hope it goes ahead. Not rained all day at Scunthorpe apparently and here they are having to work on the track. Not a great look for the sport.

It rained from 7pm Thursday till 7am Friday plus what we had during the week.

Can we have, with some urgency on an improved P.A. system. Yesterday nobody was aware MPT had withdrawn and IRR was in place until his 3rd programmed ride. It is clear communication with Rob, announcer and DJ is sadly lacking and some people need extra training in the equipment.   It is not all weather related, Rob's microphone has been suspect for long enough. It seems it does not help when he walks around and changes direction when speaking? 

Kevin Moore on centre field duties, was in my opinion ,very good at keeping everyone informed. Perhaps Rob should delegate some role and be helped out whilst doing track grading, watering, repairing tapes etc.

You must be joking, Godfrey does everything on the cheap so more goes into his back pocket.

Really..I remember mr Godfrey paying a tidy sum to have the Sheffield announcer at our track for a number of years..so he’s hardly done  things on the cheap in the past..however I suspect most clubs try to save a little here and there to keep costs down

He keeps investing. This year..  a new scoreboard.. new stand.. additional lighting...   all out said back pocket. 

I'm sure he's aware of the PA issues and I'm sure he'll work to put it right.

I'm glad to see Nathan Ablitt doing so well at the start of this season, I've always thought he had the ability but his introduction as a Poole reserve a couple of years ago was brutal and he was really thrown in at the deep end. Last season I saw very encouraging signs not least his competitiveness and his capacity for getting back on his bike and remaining professional no matter what the provocation or setback and he is finally beginning to hit his stride and I genuinely believe that Scunthorpe have the best reserve in the league.

He had a great first match, but it's far too early to say he'll be the best reserve in the league imo. Gotta see how he'll do away for a start.
