New era Panthers 2,055 Posted June 13, 2016 If I didn't like something I'd hardly be encouraging the manager of the team I support to do the same. I am sure you wouldn't be complaining about it, if the circumstances had happened with your team , it's just that nobody expected a 3 point reserve to up his average so much. The lad has been brilliant and fully deserves to be. in the top 5. And as for him previously averaging over 4 for Somerset and then being given a 3 point starting average that is not a fault of Panthers management , just an astute decision to sign him by Ged Rathbone.

In that case, you should be forced to track another British three pointer at 7. If Ged Rathbone is as astute as you claim, he'll have no bother finding another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brylcream boy 141 Posted June 13, 2016 Whats the betting Wilko re sits his 11 plus cant get time off and Watt comes in?? Arse, judging by your previous posts, he will be sitting next to you. Just remember to get to the exam in good time, and do not forget to bring a crayon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Johnson 285 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Just driven passed the track on the way to work and saw 2 Council "for sale " boards right next to the track... 1 just before the roundabout and the other near the entrance... im guessing the land would be adjoinging the track? but looks like its the track.from where they are positioned...

Lewis 76 Posted June 25, 2016 isnt that 39.4 team average Come on Rob, spend those 3 pts and get us a proper #1, would change the whole balance of the team... imagine facing some of the teams who are tracking 43-44 pt averages with our present team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 617 Posted June 28, 2016 I see in speedway star that Godfrey has bought a new club house, while I appreciate his investment in facilities I can't understand why there isn't enough money for a number one rider. Two very tough home matches coming up against a strengthened Ipswich team and then Glasgow, I wouldn't be surprised to see Scunthorpe lose both these matches with the current team.

hunch 20 Posted June 28, 2016 Maybe the issue isn't a lack of funds but a lack of available number ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted June 28, 2016 We can afford a club house why not a number one rider. In simple terms, a club house should make you money and a number one rider will cost you money. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 617 Posted June 29, 2016 In simple terms, a club house should make you money and a number one rider will cost you money. I take your point but last year the promotion were threatening closure due to the crowd levels not being high enough. This year I see the team struggling badly at home and the crowd starting to drop, with the likelihood of further home defeats I would have thought the promotion would be more concerned with surviving the season than investing in future facilities.
