Scunthorpe 2019

Recommended Posts

Having Stevie back would have meant having the 7th rider on 2.48 or less so having Jason instead means he is between 2.48 & 3.05.

Riders in that area are Thomas 2.99 & from 2017 Davey, Hall & Carr. All at 3.00 in 2017. Having Bowtell or Wood would have allowed us to choose Stevie as both riders are under 2.48.

It was mentioned a while ago that in 2019 it would be a mix of CL & NL riders & having a limit of 38, the chances of having a 2019 side with 6 or 7 CL riders will be very few if any. NL heat leaders could be a blessing for some teams having 2 at reserve.

Kemp on a 2.00 at reserve for Sheffield could be a trump card as will he move into the main body after 4H 4A or a rolling average of 20 meetings including 2018.

Didn't someone say that Rob said it was a new rider to the championship? So that would mean it's someone on a 2pt average? If so unless they are going to top quality there's a little bit of waste on the average limit. If it is someone new to the championship I wouldn't be surprised at it been someone who is familiar with the other reserve.

Well I for one is happy with our retained top end. I think most teams will have a weak tail end given the 38 point limit. It just means our young Aussie will have a steep learning curve and needs to get into the points quickly- a big ask but he comes well recommended by current and ex Scorpions.

So reading that will it be Ryan Kingsley or Jordan Jenkins ?

But if he is new & a 2 pointer, we could have fitted Steve in. Rob, has in the past, been good at giving out "red herrings".

You're assuming Steve wanted to come back... maybe he didnt.. or perhaps he did but got a better offer elsewhere.

When is the announcement of the last rider expected ?  I would still love Alfie Bowtell last year Rob said he on the radar and to be fair the back end of the season he was putting in big scores for his average

It will be in both the Speedway Star and Scunthorpe Telegraph first thing in the morning.

And then the Scunny website will be updated as well.
