So either they are still trying to get a rider to guest or it is r/r but don't want to reveal it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 624 Posted August 27, 2022 Superb as Ryan Douglas has been this year, you just now he will have recovered in time for the big money in Poland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike0310 663 Posted August 27, 2022 He is a very good captain and he’s going above and beyond for his club and fair play to him just a shame his owner/promoter is a complete p...k and that is probably why riders won’t ride for him it’s a long off season and riders are saying they don’t want it in what is Scunthorpe’s biggest meeting of the season as I say I feel sorry for lambert who has been a good servant to British speedway as for Godfrey I have zero sympathy.

Is he a good team captain? With that being the case surely the team manager would have dropped him from his last race last night (with Adam being unbeaten in 3 races at the time). Or is it the team managers fault with Adam not being in heat 14 also? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,413 Posted August 27, 2022 I can see why they have brought in Connor Mountain for Aarnio as r/r for your 1 & 3 is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Simon, being captain, should have dropped himself & changed heat 13 & 14 in Rowe & Roynon. Hindsight, wonderful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,413 Posted August 27, 2022 I can see why we have struggled for a guest given the (poor) excuses by some riders but we could never use a Redcar rider, Glasgow, Plymouth with injuries, Pickering probably Poland bound with Ryan & Masters, Nicholls GP work.

lisa-colette 6,073 Posted August 27, 2022 You know riders aren't obliged to guest! If they don't want to, they don't have to. Sounds like King wants to spend time with his family. Not sure why Kyle doesn't want it, but with lack of Sheffield meetings you think he would want to. But tbf to him he has done quite a bit of guesting this season already.

If Douglas is on his way to Poland to race tomorrow, it makes a mockery that Scunthorpe are getting a facility to cover him tonight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
