False dawn 2,307 Posted May 4, 2023 I hope Joe gets a team spot somewhere else. As things stand, that'll be both brothers riding in divisions 1 & 3 but not 2. I know I've said it before, but the maths ain't working somewhere in that equation. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 593 Posted May 4, 2023 Officially Scunthorpe Speedway haven’t released any statement on changes as they will have to be approved by the Hierarchy at the BSPA , if the changes are correct I think there were needed but very harsh on Joe Thompson. The team was set up to have an experienced reserve Zaine and Joe to do what he could at reserve .The guest for Zaine With 25% off would have been approx 3.3 and Joe at reserve and I think because we ride Friday as do a few other teams then the choice of guest would be very limited and this new approach allows Connor to go to reserve and if everything goes as planned I can see the reserve spot but occupied by Connor , Max and Lambo in the future months . Joe will not be without a team long I can see a move to Birmingham or a couple of more sides . To keep young brits involved I believe that they should inherit a bigger percentage off there average’s to keep more Brits in our leagues .Opinions aside I wish Joe all the best in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont agree there… Kemp is what he is and no more.. Clegg more reliable 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,061 Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Tbf Kemp is like a moody teenager sometimes. But as long as you are expecting that and don't mind that element then have him in the team. He was pretty decent at Poole last season til the last month or so but struggled with other elements of being in Poole and Wolves team imo.

FishersGate 532 Posted May 4, 2023 Shame Joe Thomson found out about his departure last night. The decision was made before the meeting at Birmingham.He seems a strong lad and isn't too concerned. He's got a club now anyways and was offered a chance at Berwick also. Dan awaiting a phone call . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reference to signing two new riders was in this week's Speedway Star which has a press deadline of Tuesday evening so the decision and deals were doubtless done over the weekend! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is it a shame, that’s the way speedway goes. Yes it’s unfortunate but Joe isn’t the first and won’t be the last. You say Joe isn’t concerned but looks like his comrades are. Posting for sympathy and making derogatory comments about British speedway on social media. It’s cringe worthy, embarrassing and in essence makes Joe look bad. Just quietly move on. What’s done is done and no amount of bleeting will change that. Edited May 5, 2023 by Leave some for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How was he offered a chance at Berwick? His average is too high to replace Stoneman & wouldn't be signed for any of their top 5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
