Please note we are trying to develop riders for Scunthorpe and Poole without worrying about the match results. The NL points limit is too high meaning that to compete we couldn't even go with two three pointers never mind any more. We would also have to pay big money to compete with the top four from the off and what a waste of money and team slots it would be. The plan is to have one experienced rider at number one and six prospects. It is going to be very exciting to watch these rider develop and with six prospects in the side who is going to bet against at least three of them being in a PL or NL line-up by March 2016?

Scunthorpe Speedway Track Activity 2014 - Practice, Amateur Meetings, Bike Hire, Mini Track & Main Track
Scunny Stag replied to Scunny Stag's topic in Training Tracks / Amateur
Sadly we have had to cancel this weekend's track activity. Thursday wasn't the drying day that was predicted earlier in the week and with a lot of rain set to fall on Friday we will be back to square one. It means there will be no main track or mini track activity this coming weekend. The next track activity is due to be the amateur meeting which has been rearranged to replace the practice on Sunday 9th February. Any riders wanting to enter the meeting needs to contact me on 07832-402167. The next minitrack activity is now planned to be a Wayne Carter session on 15th February and once again people need to book spaces with myself. -

It is with regret that we are going to have to cancel Sunday's practice. Quite a lot of rain has fallen today and with more forecast for tomorrow (albeit not too much) there is no chance of it drying out in time. With the base in great condition we really we need a good day to day and a half of drying weather and we will be good to go. So hopefully next Sunday, 26th January, we can be back on track. Sorry about tomorrow! -
Meetings Of Over 100 Races?
Scunny Stag replied to lucifer sam's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Jim I think you have been misled. Whilst there are undoubtedly challenges involved with running longer meetings there is no history of more injuries occurring towards the end of our meetings. There was not a hint of a blue groove last weekend because the track kept it's moisture in whilst we do have strategies for getting the best out of the track whatever the conditions. -

Wouldn't be surprised to see North, Bager, Blackbird and a three-pointer. Must also say it's great to have Peterborough in the PL. A great race track. -

Match report from last amateur meeting (17th November): Winter Series kicks off in style Scunthorpe Speedway kicked off their sixth Winter Series in style with 42 riders competing in 81 races in a little over five hours on Sunday 17th November. The track was in great condition and all three adult speedway classes had decent turnouts. The Open Class attracted quite a few riders with National League experience and, after picking himself up after a second-bend fall in the first running of the final, it was Scunthorpe asset Oliver Greenwood, who made the most of his second chance to claim victory ahead of Buxton’s Matt Williamson, and two former Scunthorpe Saints, Max Clegg and Tommy Fenwick. Fenwick came through a very competitive ‘B’ Final against Arron Mogridge, Shane Waldron and Ryan MacDonald whilst debutants Luke Harris and Krystian Bialecki also acquitted themselves well in their Open Class debuts. The Support Class was dominated by Adam Extance and Liam Sanderson with Sanderson gaining revenge for his only defeat in qualifying with an outstanding pass of Extance in the final. Debutants Shaun Wilson and Mick Skinner completed the final in the first double-figure Support Class line-up. As with the other adults classes there were some impressive performances in the Novice Class with the top two, debutant Tom Bacon and Ben Basford both looking to move up to the Support Class at the next meeting. They were joined by Tom Sipos and Matt Davis in the final whilst other class winners were Derek Holt (Pit Bikes), Sam Chapman (Youth 250), Kyle Bickley (Youth 125) and Bailey Fellows (Youth Pit Bikes). The next meeting is Sunday 8th December (moved from the Saturday) and places for the meeting can be reserved by contacting Richard Hollingsworth via email (richard@scunthorpespeedway.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/rh1967) or phone (07832-402167 – please text or leave a message if unavailable).

Tomorrow's amateur meeting has been put back to Sunday 17th November and will be run instead of the practice that day and the December meeting has also been moved from Saturday 7th to Sunday 8th. Tomorrow's mini track session with Wayne Carter is unaffected and this Sunday's practice will also go ahead. Sorry for this but hope the early decision is appreciated. -

English Riders Is Two Riders To Many If Made Compulsory.?
Scunny Stag replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It is one of the things that need to be done to improve British speedway and British riders standing in the sport. For example the ruling would have seen Lewis Kerr and Paul Starke, to name but two, in the Premier League a year or two earlier than they did. -

PM received from Vince: Hi Richard, somehow missed your message about Rye practice. Be great if you could put it in with the rest. Contact number is 07821660695. They open every Sunday (weather permitting)11am to 3pm from February to November. Changes to Saturdays, same time November to February. They have got a couple of hire bikes and Andrew on hand for advice for those who want it. Thanks, Vince --------------------------------------- I'll now put it on the listings but as always it is a good idea to check that sessions are running, especially if travelling from distance. Guessing that the Saturdays are March to October but please double-check if clarification hasn't been made.
