Could that be where Harris is off if they do move up, I really don't see him at Lynn the way that the track has been so slick over the last few years. Throw in Steve Worrall would leave about 10 points for a no1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickie Head 247 Posted November 9, 2023 Sorry if I have missed it, but does Jordan Palin feature at the EWR (or anywhere else for that matter)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted November 9, 2023 I did predict a few weeks back on a couple of threads that either Ford or Godfrey would fall on their swords as Management Committee Members so protect the Discovery deal and ensure a 6 team PL if Brummies couldn't. To much derision from South Coast I may add. Scunny it seems have obliged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he ended up at Lynn he'd be a big success and enjoy every moment IMO. Edited November 9, 2023 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stumper 18 Posted November 9, 2023 Very unexpected if true. Would definitely be a huge gamble but one I will support. Its a shame in some respects as Scunny starting to establish ourselves as one of the top championship sides and was really hoping for a crack at the league title next year. I guess nothing is certain until its announced but definitely interesting times ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't been there since Mads K's testimonial so I'm probably way off, just based on the moaning on here that the racing isn't what it was! Scunthorpe feels a better fit for the type of rider he is, in my mind. If I was Godfrey then he'd be top of the list if I'm moving up along with Douglas.

hackneyrocket 139 Posted November 9, 2023 Having seen Rye House close after the decision to move up to the Premier, I hope Scunthorpe don’t make the same mistake. I have no idea of the cost difference between the two leagues but surely points money must be more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 436 Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) On our attendances, not a chance of us racing Monday ,Wednesday or Thursday. First and foremost Rob is a business man and must see it as mistake moving up a league. The only positive is we get a local derby back against the Sheffield Tigers.

It's not, but its because its too grippy and has far too much clay in it. But stocks rule unfortunately. Bomber will be a great signing wherever he goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
