Terrible performance again from Lewis Kerr. I expect the prat from Poole to be calling for his sacking again tonight.

The blokes a knob. He was great for Kings Lynn at Ipswich last night. It’s that damn rutty track at Poole is the problem.

Wooohooo! Pirates win. Phenomenal racing tonight at Scunthorpe. Best racetrack in the league by the country mile.

Cooler travelling today so the boys were not knackered. Heat 13 was sublime with Lawson. Heat 14 was amazing with Cook.  

Commentator said the second half of tonight’s meeting was the best he had ever seen at the track. Can believe it, that was sensational racing.

Just shows if you win you see a great meeting, where last week when you were beat by poor worky you looked for any excuse 🤔

Hes been fine at home actually, now starting to perform alot better away. Great meeting tonight really enjoyed the stream. Much better than the Belle Vue one.

Scunny beaten by the better side, no doubt about it.... Fair play to Poole, some awesome racing, ran out worthy victors.

Changes needed for Scunny next year, we can't go on with a team of second strings... it's demoralising.

 

 

I can’t understand what has happened to Luke Harrison, started the season so well and scoring big points and looks to have gone backwards.

Like you said it’s demoralising to watch this season.

I doubt I’ll go anymore this year!

Problem for Scunny is Steve Worrall has not been the rider he was since his injury. Allen has faded to a second string, Lambert, who I like, blows hit and cold. Mountain is OK at home, the Kennedys are ok when at reserve. Young Harrison was invisible tonight. They are a coup,e of heat leaders short. Once Poole got dialled in they were the better team. Cook rode well and Lawson was pretty sensational. His best ever season? Fast and aggressive as hell, but never dirty.

You were saying :party:

Poole just have that something about them that makes them better than everybody else that's why many people on here don't like them.You can all moan about so called dodgy tactics,poor track,certain contributors annoy people the list goes on but you can't deny the Ford's just build better teams fact, maybe they pay more points money I don't know and if people were truly honest you would all love your teams to be as successful as Poole. I have said many times I wish all teams were equal and you would get better racing I recall years ago the SCB or whatever it was called then decided where certain riders had to ride I think Barry Briggs was told he had to ride at a certain team maybe Hull but not sure still there you have it the chap saying Poole get smashed and Kerr gets not much well look at the result and despite early reservations he is delivering as is the new kid on the block I'm sure he'll get lots of guest bookings like Andersen and Ciegelski did a few years ago.

The racing was good but it was only average by Scunny standards, we are truely blessed here.

And the team were 1+ below the max. 

Good result tonight, have to question Scorpion team building strategy this season. As far as Pirates are concerned Kerr is improving, Cairnes is a quality rider who will improve, Zac is a sound rider, Lawson Mr Reliable, Tobias delivers, Smartie good for his GSA, my concern is with Anders Rowe's fitness, great potential but that groin Injury is it still an ongoing issue?

On paper the Scunny team looks decent. 2 x 5 point reserves, the Kennedy's & Harrison putting points on their averages.

If they want to go with stronger heat leaders, will suffer at 6 & 7. Then who will they sign? Redcar can't find a replacement for Riss, Berwick have 7+ available to replace Hume but haven't got anyone.

Until Nicholls made his return, Champ sides could only bring in second strings & reserves.

Apart from MPT & it seemed most Scunny fans were happy to see him go (from what I can remember).
