scunny1 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Last match of a very poor season for the Scorpions. Which way will it go, will Scorpions find some winning ways, or will the Bears take it? Heart says Scorpions win, head says Bears win. Probably more media interest on round 2 of Allen v Wright with air fence on bend one/ two taking first hit.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 So Redcar have booked Vuolas who will more then likely help Redcar get the point ( I know they'll likely win at home next week Vs Workington anyway but) they need to secure the playoffs ahead of the team he's employed by? Only in Speedway 🤣 Ben Trigger guests for Declan Kennedy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortythirtyeight Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Think Scorpions will win but Bears to get the extra point their after. Expecting a couple of ‘retirement’ speeches from one or two home riders afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 6 minutes ago, Youhave2minutes said: And now comes the mass cull for next season I suppose that depends on what the owner wants. As with many seasons, the team was built to lose away but win at home but the loss of an out and out number one meant only 3 home wins and the inevitable drop in crowd numbers - a winning team won’t necessarily bring in more supporters but a losing one certainly keeps them away. There is one rider that has excelled this year but you can bet his phone has been red hot with calls from rival promoters. Not offering him a 2026 team place, of course, as that will breach the rules but saying “if you’re thinking of making a change, you’ve got my number” But the other six need to be moved on as none have been comfortable round EWR. Maybe it’s the change to one of those hard polyfoam barriers - second hand from Glasgow - that has put them off? Whatever the reasons for a disappointing season, the supporters deserve better, in my opinion. And hopefully, that’s what will happen in 2026 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
