ScunnyDan 335 Posted September 25, 2019 Now our seasons done and dusted, lets look towards 2020, which looks set to be a big year for the club.. Jake Allen - been very consistent over the season, very rarely had a bad meeting and can ride most tracks, has to be a consideration for next year Danny Ayres - signing of the season without a doubt, HAS to be the second name on the team sheet Ben Barker - a mid season addition to the team and has helped us massively more so away from home, would welcome him back if he fancies it Stefan Nielsen - been a season to forget for Stef, although finished on a high note, unfortunatley cant see Stef back in Scunny colours Josh Auty - brilliant at home, woeful away im afraid to say.. Would say pretty much nailed on with his testimonial at Scunny in March Simon Lambert - Super Si has been brilliant since signing for us and has to be in contention for the reserve position alongside JP in 2020 Ryan Kinsley - progressed nicely this year, sadly can't see Ryan back with having Jordan in, but do hope he manages to secure a Championship place in 2020. Do have a feeling Jason Garrity will be back in Scunthorpe colours in 2020... Personally I feel we need some 'new faces' in the Scorpions team next season if we are to challenge for honours... If the average limit is 42.5 which Rob has stated most CL promoters are pushing for I'd go for something like this R Lawson, Ayres, Garrity, Allen/Worrall/Barker, Auty, Lambert, Palin It's a long winter ahead folks, whats your views Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Johnson 285 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Worrall,Ayres,Allen,Auty,Barker,Si and Palin Just read Plymouth maybe in the Cl next year so wonder if Ben may fancy going back there? so Garrity or Barker Edited September 25, 2019 by Paul Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 436 Posted September 25, 2019 When Worrall gates he is ok ,if he doesn't then he's not interested-It's a no from me. Charles Wright or Kyle Howarth would be good- more racers than gating tarts please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,487 Posted September 26, 2019 would like to see Jake Jordan and Danny Ayers in the team , not bothered about josh but he is nailed on anyway. Lambert would be good but only at reserve . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie4388 679 Posted September 26, 2019 I know I'll get accused of bias but Simon and Stefan will be on very similar averages to start next season at reserve with Palin. I honestly believe Stefan would be better value for the average. Both would do superb at reserve don't get me wrong but as we all know Stefan has the ability to get a 7 point average as he has done and hold his own if he happened to move into the top 5, I'm not sure Simon does as proved numerous times in the past. I'd like to see depending on the average limit Douglas Ayres Allen Barker Auty Palin Nielsen 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted September 26, 2019 THE 2019 season at the Eddie Wright Raceway isn’t over after all! The National League Riders’ Championship, washed out at Leicester over the weekend, will now take place at Scunthorpe on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6th at 6pm. Further news will appear in due course, but in the meantime, put this date in your diary! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope for Scunny's sake they don't go back down the Garrity route he's entertaining but far too unreliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 679 Posted September 26, 2019 Lambert 5.16 Nielsen 4.51 the finishing averages Nielsen certainly better value imo and also would give you an extra 0.65 to use In top 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stef had a poor season this year but on that average and down at reserve he’d be a steal round the EWR! Plus Lambert won’t go higher than a 5pt average and he could even have to start at number 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloom89 490 Posted September 27, 2019 Scunthorpe tend to keep the majority of the same team season in season out, so you'd imagine Palin, Auty and probably Nielsen will be shoe ins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
