Tinker Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Scunthorpe are woeful, simply not up to the task. Can't understand why anyone would want to sign MPT. If he doesn't gate (which happens a lot), he just looks totally disinterested. He'll never come good so I'd be inclined to get rid now.

Just fancied watching some speedway but obviously chose the wrong match. Feel sorry for the Scunthorpe fans with this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be better off taking a chance on couple of untried overseas riders like Worky have over the last couple of years might unearth a gem, just think Rob operates on an uber tight budget but this team is going to need surgery fast if he doesn't want the home crowds falling off a cliff.

I thought Harrison would be the only rider kept from 2025 - and, at the same time, thought he’d do better to get away from the comfort of the EWR. But having stayed, I hoped he would kick on but he’s started the season slowly. Perhaps he’ll improve over the season? But, will any of the others?

Steve Shovlar Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago A star was born tonight. Cooper Rushen take a bow. Got to be brave to wear tassles. If you can’t live up to the hype the egg on the youngsters face would be bad. But he looks the real deal. Fast gating and good passing ability. A young Mark Loram? Possibly. But there’s a caveat of Scunthorpe being absolutely woeful. I said in the first post it could be Pickering v Poole and so it proved. He was excellent by the way. Mountain was his only backup with second places. The rest were as expected out of their depth. Palm-Toft didn’t want to know, unsurprisingly considering the smash he had here a few seasons ago. Lambert couldn’t live with the Poole boys. Newman again doing very well. Battling hard all night. Bowes should have had a max but messed up his team riding in his first race and slid off. Cairns seems to be dragging his bike around the track and looks stiff on a bike. Needs to relax more. We know the ability is there. Friday is obviously now a formality. Scunthorpe looked like wooden spooner candidates before the season and tonight confirmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close. A paid maximum for young Rushen is remarkable. I remember seeing Dan Bewley riding for Edinburgh at that age and he looked more suited to second-half racing.

Dorsetpirate Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) First time I've been to home meeting for a couple of seasons, not sure on the new parade if the riders are going to stop and wave to fans at one end of grandstand then make sure they stop at the other end as well instead of just riding straight past! Cooper looked class tonight not great opposition i know but still looked good. Edited 1 hour ago by Dorsetpirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, they stopped further along, so I guess they will stop in a slightly different place each week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
