Said 10 days ago the announcement would be within the next week. Do they have a different calendar to the rest of us?

It is in our Telegraph that the main sponsors for 2014 will be Fluid Air Power Ltd who are local & have been advertising in the programme & on billboards for a number of years. They have, also, done rider sponsorship.

Why the hold up if Tommy Jorgensen and Ashley Birks are in the 1-7 ?, Josh was an early declaration, David followed eventually so why hold up on TJ and AB ?. Perhaps there is something in this; I heard we were adding a new asset to the 1-7.

I am starting to think that one or even both may be left out.

 

But another point; why is it everytime I want to post on here I am told this

I think this has correctly been in force for sometime. I think it's to stop a 'pointed' first post from someone who may have a grudge and it needs vetting in case it is. There have been some interesting first posts from existing forum members using another name, so it is right that the moderation should cover that situation. Some naughty posters have had to be cleared post by post for being 'naughty'.

so it has been announced in the telegraph and on here but there seems to be no mention of it on the scorpions main website, seems to me that this is going downhill. it said that a major announcement was to come soon with the correct amount of fanfare then just leeks out via the local rag.

I think the announcement will be that rob has bought Sheffield and is going to run them as a mdl team as a feeder club for the mighty scorpions seen as they have been in our shadows for the past few years

Six seasons Scunthorpe have competed in the Premier League.

 

On four occasions Sheffield have finished above Scunthorpe..

 

The average position for both teams over the last six seasons is identical.

 

So by virtue of the fact the fact that you won one League title over a Play Off situation I would say honours even.
