Dan is the new Chris Louis, so will not be standing with the proper fans anyway. -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2022

So the Promotion are happy trying to win all the home matches? For me, I want a competitive team that fancies its chances at every track in the country! Two heat leaders fine. Two 2nd strings passed their sell by date and will not improve. A 17 year old who has done extremely well ,but will now be under great pressure in the main team. A reserve who basically has hardly ridden for two seasons and another reserve who again is expected to shine from the off. I am underwhelmed and it seems plenty of other Scorpion fans feel the same whilst chewing the fat with them. -

Agreed. Just hope its not just one camera plonked on top of the tin can stand. Hopefully it will work better than the scoreboard and Rob's completely clapped out PA system- which I would have preferred the money to be spent on. -
Didn't do MPT or TJ any harm slumming it in a six berth caravan in the pits. Only illegal dinghy people get 4 star hotel, free board, phones and pocket money!

I would be happy with those 3, if we can squeeze them in? -

Lambo signing was the worst kept secret over the last 3 months. For one, I'm not bothered what he does in the pits, I want to see him performing better on the track, especially away from home. Jake is nailed on to return, so the last two team spots need to be remarkably good and I don't consider Aarnio as being one of them. If he is ,we will be at the wrong end of the table in 2022. -

Gating tart and we would have to change the track to suit him like last time,to the detriment of the rest of the team who did not want a slick bare track. -

Agreed looks better, although I would still bin Lambo off. -

If that is the rumoured team, I personally have doubts. It puts a lot of pressure on Jordan in the main body of the team. Lambo has had years of mediocrity and will not improve and is suspect away. Which ever way you dress it up, Aarnio let us down big time last season. Visa issue or not, he was not that impressive when he did ride for us. Personally ,if we aim to win at home Auty plus another, would be better option as second strings. -

So far not very inspired, but reserve proper judgement until the top end is released. -
How do they get a medical certificate? Its hard enough just getting through on the phone, then trying to bypass the receptionist to even speak to a Doctor, never mind actually see one!

Lambert has had his day , maybe a good captain, but not a good prospect if we have real ambition next season. -

No idea what averages are and points limit ,but here is my team. Probably not going to happen but dream on. Firstly massive clear out of current team with only two ,who deserve to stay. Allen Pickering Jorgenson Nicol Mountain Kemp Palin -
Think we should have a new rule. Lets be able to play a TACTICAL ILLNESS, when riders can't be bothered, crap at certain tracks, or just feeble excuses.

I am embarrassed to see my team looking so weak. Injury to TJ aside, Ellis ,Arnio and Pjiper have let us down. Not that bothered if we have seen the back of all three to be honest.

Not quite what was said. Rob Godfrey joked to Jake that if he scored like he did against us again ,he would not be riding for us next year. Jake scored 14+1 in our home meeting ,then went on to score 15 points at your home meeting later in the season. So Jake took little notice of Rob's tongue in cheek, jokey threat!

You be pedantic, I'll be positive.

Sorry, but its a done deal. Rob and Jake are big mates and the only reason Jake was not a Scorpion this year is because Rob was loyal when he signed Josh Macdonald, to cover for Jake not riding this year. Jake then later changed his mind and Rob being loyal to Josh ,could not renege on his deal to let him ride. Rob then had the gut wrenching task of telling Jake he could not let Josh down, hence his temporary move to Redcar.

Scorpions have bought Jake Allen's contract from Somerset. To all intents and purposes Jake will be a Scorpion again next season. Yes, yes, yes some good news to a poor season end for us.
