spin king 1,923 Posted October 23, 2014 No spinny the team was built so you would have a high scoring reserve and it worked to an extent by getting us to the playoffs however if it hadn't of been for mullering a very weak Sheffield team at the owl hut don't think it would of worked just my opinion Still made the play offs though so not to bad of a season. I think the key was the young guy Williamson, if he could have score a few more points things might have been better. The good thing about Scunny over the last three seasons is the continuity of the side, and the very few changes that Rob Godfrey has to make and keep a nucleus of very good solid riders and it worked to a certain extent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullet 72 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Ok will have my first go of the off season I think we will have only 3 from last year back maybe 4 3 Probables Howe 7.29 Auty 7.04 Douglas 6.73 Uses up 21.06 Then its look at possible new rider coming in (one hintted at needing a place to live) Perks 3.0/sissis 5.0/Lahti 5.0 Of these i would prefer Perks as he could also double up with the stags then it is other riders/ Assets I would like to see MPT back and believe he would still be on his last PL average of 4.92 (seem to recall it is more then 1 year in EL it then becomes your coverted but if only 1 year you keep your PL average) Possibles Wells 6.46 (although off to ipswich like every rider is!!)/Mellgren 6.57/wilko 5.24/ Nicolai 6.68 (although think he will be at somerset)/Jack holder 5.0(rumoured with poole connection and would not need accomadation hence not in earlier section but expect him to also be at somerset along with max ruml!) So my initial lineup ends as Auty Howe Douglas Mellgren Nicolai MPT Perks Total 42.23 Similar to last year with good solid strength and always a good reserve (mellgren is 5th in the averages!!) and i think it would have worked this year except for injuries at the wrong time. Will update once somerset announce 3 riders i have mentioned in my post and once league structures known Edited October 24, 2014 by The Scunthorpe bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montie 1,273 Posted October 24, 2014 I have long believed that first rule is you want riders who want to ride for you...and if Tommy and Ash want to ride elsewhere then so be it....good luck to them .Time to move on and start again maybe Both have been a huge part of the club for the last few years..especially Ash who started out with us.. Time to start again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted October 24, 2014 Talk of Bunyan wanting to leave Rye, he guested a lot for Scunny in the title winning season. He was talking about it himself for most of the season. I think he'll be off to Glasgow, but Scunny would be a decent option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 26, 2014 Will Perks be able to utilise the Elite league reserve system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted October 26, 2014 Will Perks be able to utilise the Elite league reserve system? I would imagine so, it maybe depend upon where he pledges his international allegiances to Britain or Aussie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted October 26, 2014 Possibles Wells 6.46 (although off to ipswich like every rider is!!)/Mellgren 6.57/wilko 5.24/ Nicolai 6.68 (although think he will be at somerset)/Jack holder 5.0(rumoured with poole connection and would not need accomadation hence not in earlier section but expect him to also be at somerset along with max ruml!) Heard something about Jack Holder earlier is the season and Klindt sounds reasonable. Max Ruml though?? Where.have you got that from because that is news to me??

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted October 26, 2014 I guess Poole will want to use Perks then! This tie up between both clubs seems to be working for the coming season with some fantastic new riders coming to these shores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted October 26, 2014 So looking at it: Howe/Auty and Douglas will return. Holder and Perks will sign, so fill the 2 remaining gaps. Holder at reserve will be a trump card to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedwayfan555 3 Posted October 26, 2014 Have Holder or Perks actually signed yet? Or are they just rumours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigred 187 Posted October 27, 2014 Get Max Clegg back where he started,If Cradley are no more he will be looking. Would he come into the premier league on a 3 point average?? he would also make a great number 1 for the stags.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bullet 72 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Keep HOLDER your hats looks like rob is having his usual fun around signing riders. You would SIMply have to be a LUNAtic to gRUMbLe around his PR when it comes to this. Theres SNOW way it would be HALF As much fun if he just didnt keep giving crypitc deceptive clues!! I suppose thats a PERK of being promoter! Although i like the way everyone points to a aussie rider it could be a young dane who is going to commit to living here liek when thomas first started out with the scorpions Thats 7 names dropped in cant think of anymore at the moment!! but i suppose i have one of somersets correct now if the comment that it is not Jack are true and not just another misdirection Edited October 30, 2014 by The Scunthorpe bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
