My fault I suppose I should have read further back in the thread but a mean... Honestly... its a Scunny thread... Saying that I had found another small error on my Scunthorpe team so hey ho... Oh and yes I fully agree REDCAR do have 6.60 left... Back to the Scunthorpe team anyone? ffs I am ready to give up... Regards THJ Someone suggested Bach could go to Redcar and I simply said we don't have that space 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebaron 434 Posted March 6, 2021 Mighty quiet in these parts lately despite the excirment that we might actually have some Speedway this summer. With most 1-7s declared ! Options to cover Jakes absence are really diminished ? We need a 7pt rider all things equal but longer this drags on less likely thats going to happen ? Accepting we are probably not going to rip this league apart in 2021 ? Would there be any harm just saying sod it and get Aussie Zaine Kennedy on loan from the Tiggers ? Ok hes on a 4pt average but he can easy add two points to that ! Knows the tracks; would be based here all season and unlike UK based riders has actually been "turning circles" these past weeks as opposed to UK and EU riders sat around twiddling thumbs for 18 months ! I would be fine with that; ok puts Lambo back up at 2. But reckon it would not be long before ZK was pushing top 5 ! I reckon those teams with 1-2 Aussies have the advantage. Circa Flyin Ryan who looks to me like he will pretty much smash the Championship to bits this season at Leicester. ! Infact hes just the sort of rider we are looking for ! and is our asset ! Come on Management lets sort this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 430 Posted March 6, 2021 Let's just sign Rene Bach, or some wealthy sponsors get Jake back asap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,399 Posted March 6, 2021 I would love to see the 2nd option but sponsors, in speedway, are hard to find. Also, Jake would be here only riding in the 1 league until Premiership clubs make changes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,483 Posted March 6, 2021 Kennedy is on a 4 point average for a reason and to bring him in to replace Jake would be folly. We would be woefully weak and the potential to loose every week at home would bring no benefit to the club. having said that I don't have a clue who could replace Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are 3 clubs in for that sort of rider, think all 3 clubs may have to run a few points under the limit.

Fozzie4388 676 Posted March 6, 2021 You'd have to think Pijper is the one that would be replaced if they make more then the Allen change. After all he's never pulled up any trees anywhere and only in the team due to tragic circumstances in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're underestimating Pijper, I reckon he'll do well for the Scorpions! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
