FishersGate 522 Posted May 6, 2023 14 hours ago, Leave some for us. said: You obviously think it’s acceptable to divulge information like that (if true) on a public forum then ? Ok we’ll park that one. No i wasn’t moaning, the only moaning was coming from you. I suggest you read your comments back. Like you said it’s a forum and we can say what we like ? Right ? Or does that just apply to you ? Sounds like Joe is fixed up now so people can stop crying. Let’s hope he’s managed to negotiate a better deal this time lol. Over and out . Yeah it's fine lots of people do it mate. Is there a rule book for it? It's a matter of opinions and we can agree to disagree. Im sure if we ever met if person our conversation would be over a nice cold one and not on a forum chewing the fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 6, 2023 I rest my case with the decisions made by the Scunthorpe Promotion & as I said before, 1 change was required but Rome wasn't built in a day. Glasgow next week not an easy test to resolve things but I am still gutted & disappointed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) I don't think you can judge Scunthorpe's changes based on one match, Clegg was always likely to score like this at Berwick. How he does in the rest of the matches will be more key. However Mountain's good score from reserve shows why they did it!

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Thompson could have scored similar from 6 rides. Edited May 7, 2023 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebaron 434 Posted May 7, 2023 Clegg & Ablitt coming up with 1pt between them what a poor start from the pair of them. Absolutely certain Joe would have managed to get at least 2pts so doubling their woeful debut efforts. Robs dropped a clanger with these changes. Give it 28 days and we will be making more changes because the team average will tumble. Of course that means that June will likely be a write off away from home for us. If Dillion Rumls kit is in the UK I would see if he fancies it ? Or what about Geno Manzares hes already in Sweden is he not ? For me I would much rather watch Joe Thompson develop at Scunny than have Clegg or Ablitt who I have no allengence to at all. Might as well fill in with guests very disappointing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted May 7, 2023 Sounds like Scunthorpe were set to make one change, whoever that rider was decided against the move which left Scunthorpe with no option but to make two changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poles have it right. Ring fencing their bottom two positions for U21 riders.. And that is in their top league as well as others.. The 2nd and 3rd tier over here should do the same with the top league, given a so called lack of riders, running six man teams of "established" riders Meaning a glide path to follow for the GB U21 riders into the top tier, and some surplus "established" riders for Div 1 replacements... Those "special U21 talents" eg Dan Bewley, could just simply be a Div 1 rider, which would also free up a place for "lesser lights" in lower leagues..
