noggin 1,388 Posted November 18, 2018 Took a look at the track today, yes there are stakes in the ground marking out the track, that's it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INCOGNITO 357 Posted November 18, 2018 Berge at 7 would make a decent number team and will be better with Morris and Bellego sure to have better results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambo 1,338 Posted November 19, 2018 Just curious, but if the 3rd & 4th bends are to be moved, will the start line be moved to the new midpoint of the home straight, and out of line with the current Referee's position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be moved nearer bends 3 and 4 and it would be out of line of the current refs box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted November 19, 2018 Not every track has the start line level with the ref's box, so no big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,624 Posted November 19, 2018 The current view of bends 3/4 from the refs box is very poor, so moving bends 3 & 4 can only improve matters even if the refs box stays in its current position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly can’t see the start line either given the amount of rollers missed last season. It was just like the start of the Daytona 500... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The start line is too be moved back. Old pits are too be demolished and a bank to be put in and become a barrier too prospective new housing as and when new stadium is complete.. .

No, just realigning bends 1 and 2 and I hope they are making the track wider. Edited November 19, 2018 by A ORLOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 20, 2018 Ive taken this from Scunthorpe’s article regarding signing Stef Nielsen & Garrity.... ”With a 2.5% discount now in place for all riders who graduated from the third tier – the Conference / National League “ Surely we need to use Stef, Adam & Zach now. Nick must qualify as well as he came through the conference?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted November 21, 2018 Would rather use riders who merit a team place based on more than just a paltry 2.5 reduction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
