Can't see them losing at home very often it's a good side around scunny but can see it been woeful away . So will be pretty similar to 2021. Think there was only Leicester won there and they had a team full of riders who excell at scunny including Ryan Douglas who was fantastic 

That will certainly work for crowd figures but not convinced that home wins alone will be enough for play off spot. Obviously a lot can change/happen but there are already 5 very strong sides shaping up and others (except Brum) building for home wins so something has to give.

I also dont think Scunny are guaranteed home wins… a couple of the teams named already will fancy there chances at Scunny

Think it will depend on the last two riders,  but a few are saying that it's jake Allen and Ryan Douglas?

Good signing in Tero.

Fans don't travel in numbers away from Home these days.

All about Home form to keep the fans happy and if you're strong at Home then the fans will keep returning every week. Tero averages over 9 at Home so it's a no brainer.

Should nick a play-off place as well if your Home form is good. Scunny should pick up a couple of wins on the road at Newcastle and Birmingham as well.

How would an even poorer scunthorpe team than last year beat a much stronger newcastle team than last year when they couldnt even manage it last year?

Or Leicester who demolished Scunny 3 times last year and will fancy there chances again.. or a much improved Plymouth.. Poole was due to the weather and they will name a team that will fancy its chances at Scunny

I have already said Leicester we're worthy winners at scunny with the team of track specialists and were fantastic lead by Ryan (scunthorpe bound)Douglas

Oh my god your a right laugh  , why can’t you say anything positive about Scunthorpe ? . Jake and Ryan to complete the side  and injury free we will do ok  , Rob builds his side on home wins and see we’re it takes us from there and also sides in the past have been built way above what the promotion can pay and have caused monetary problems  , Rob doesn’t do that let’s get the two Aussies named and roll on April 2022

Bit negative on here regarding Scunny signings or to quote Dad’s Army (we’re all doomed), if it is Allen and Douglas the last 2 signings Scunny have the makings of a decent team, you just never know in speedway what will happen.

So the Promotion are happy trying to win all the home matches? For me, I want a competitive team that fancies its chances at every track in the country! 

Two heat leaders fine. Two 2nd strings passed their sell by date and will not improve. A 17 year old who has done extremely well ,but will now be under great pressure in the main team. A reserve who basically has hardly ridden for two seasons and another reserve who again is expected to shine from the off.

I am underwhelmed and it seems plenty of other Scorpion fans feel the same whilst chewing the fat with them.:rolleyes:

Because the team named so far is hard to get excited about… its a great set up at Scunny but the team so far looks really poor and one destined for the lower end of the table
