montie 1,273 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) The whole Ged situation stinks, how come someone from a senior position makes a mistake and gets away with it? Still awaiting the punishment for Rob, I sense that will be brushed under the carpet Where is it proved that anyone from a senior position made a mistake,as far i recall the statement read there was no such evidence? and may i ask if there is any reason you deleted your orginal post describing some one as corrupt?

waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 27, 2017 Not if the conversation can be confirmed in any way ( by a recording or a witness for example ) and If it is clear that Godfrey was speaking in his exalted Official Capacity. Fact and fantasy then all get mixed up. I suspect that IF there is case to be proven Godfrey will be punished by the SCB. And quite correctly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 679 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Everyone knows I'm not Godfrey's biggest fan but i'd like to congratulate him on building a very decent playoff challenging side this year. I wish them all the best for the new season, Hopefully it'll bring the crowds back. It's a shame Young Jenkins is only doing NL this year as he would of been an ideal candidate for the Number 7 role. Can't think of many others that would fit the number 7 role perhaps Jack Thomas from Kent then there's Tom Brennan although he lives a long way from Scunthorpe, Also David Wallinger (Not as strong as Thomas or Brennan) as I know Scunthorpe used him a few time last years or Taylor Hampshire with the top 6 Scunny have built at least they'll be no pressure on whoever does take then number 7 Jacket Hopefully for Scunthorpe a hidden Gem can pop up during the winter months at the EWR.

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted November 27, 2017 Now it depends on what riders turn up for the winter series. Some riders will already have been snapped up by the time a decision will be made. Riders that were there last year includes JPB, Kinsley, Hampshire to name a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Johnson 285 Posted November 27, 2017 If riders know theres a place up for grabs wont they turn up in droves? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted November 27, 2017 Well it will be difficult to top the Scorpion 6 in the other line ups. Choose a good no 7 and play offs are virtually certain if they keep injury free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted November 27, 2017 By choosing a number 7 this way they may not get the strongest as hell be snapped up. But theyll definitely get one willing to ride for the Scorpions and he will have plenty of EWR laps to hit the ground running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrimmy 143 Posted November 27, 2017 Its ok getting the laps in but will it be with dirt on the track or will they have to wait for the first match of the season to get used to the track properly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted November 27, 2017 A master stroke be Godfrey would be to get JPB, now that would wind up Rathborne, as every Posh supporter I speak to say he’s a cert at Peterborough 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandits4eva 998 Posted November 28, 2017 A master stroke be Godfrey would be to get JPB, now that would wind up Rathborne, as every Posh supporter I speak to say hes a cert at Peterborough I suggest you speak to supporters much further north! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have raised this point many times over the years that a training track is a blue groove, devoid of any shale. Similar on P & P day, the riders go out on a smooth track for photo opportunities. What they need, as a team, is 2 consecutive days of riding & team bonding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 28, 2017 Young Mason Searsby could be worth a go on a 2.00, could finish your team off nicely that. Or Saul Bulley in at no.7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
