Just wanted to throw my two penn'orth out there after last night's meeting at Scunthorpe. Honestly, forget the score line for a moment, some of that racing was absolutely brilliant. Pure, unadulterated speedway action.

The track, I thought, really came into its own after the first few heats. It offered up some fantastic lines and close battles. I admit, at the interval, I was wondering why they'd put some water down, but credit where it's due – it really didn't impact the quality of racing in the latter half.

Having moved to Lincolnshire early this year, King's Lynn is technically my closest track, but I've made it to every Scunthorpe home meeting in 2025, and I've enjoyed every single one for the sheer racing spectacle. While my heart will always belong to Coventry if they ever get back on track (fingers crossed!), for now, I consider myself a solid Scunny fan. And honestly, it's a real disappointment that there's only one home meeting left this year!

You've got to admire Rob and his team there. They clearly operate within a budget, but they manage to put on a really enjoyable night of speedway. There's a proper grassroots feel to it – good banter between the fans and the announcers, and it just feels like a genuinely honest, friendly, and affordable place to spend an evening. I think that's something to be proud of regardless of what might happen with results. 

Of course, it's not perfect – the social media output, advertising, and website could all do with a boost, and sometimes hearing the announcers can be a challenge, Oh, and they could definitely do with some merchandise being sold! – but when it comes down to what happens on the shale, Scunthorpe consistently delivers some excellent racing. Went to King's Lynn once this year, and that was quite enough for me!

One more home meeting to go, I'd like to watch them away as I used to go everywhere with the Bees....maybe next year.
