Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018
scaramanga replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
a good example of a motocross rider switching codes due to foot and mouth is jonathan rae only switched to road racing from motocross then now a milionaire and 3 times world superbike champion -
id say theres not many too good for this league as in my opinion its a far better league than the 1 that stole our name yes maybe its better as all the riders are closer together tallent wise than the other league but most the heat leaders are the same and most the reserves are the same too so whats the difference between them
-
i wouldnt no what he does apart from speedway id have been happy enough for him to be back at workington
-
with good people behind him matt can be a good rider butt with the points left id say you wont be signing the rider i thought yould have at reserve
-
id say matt will up his avearge around there every week to build confidence and he will get backing and support so id say that confirms it wasnt matt who couldnt ride due to work comitments as fridays would be harder to get time off compared to saturdays and some saturdays id think
-
why are they gonna release details of our team wouldnt surprise me
-
another thats too clever for there own good or just a k~~b
-
id say some promoters dont have the time to travel abroad for a meeting that is dictated by promoters who hold high positions in the sport this is british speedway the meeting should be held in britten and it should involve all who want to take part the following season
-
maybe the deal is cant confirm hes in the sheffield team until workington anounce there top end and therefore wont be using him
-
id say theres at least 2 in that line up that wont be right
-
as i said just because there not anounced it dosnt mean there not signed so if there singed there is no problems also if teams are signed it hasnt been slower the only thing is we dont know last year for some reason everyone seamed to release details a lier than normal i havnt missed any point YOU have took it for granted that because they havnt told YOU hows it each team that they dont know themselves speedway is a great big mystery machine they only tell you what they want when they want regardless of if its true , fact or fiction l
-
just because there not made public it dosnt mean there not signed.
-
is it deffo that the rider with work comitments was a returning rider i thought the statement said the rider we wanted couldnt comit im sure theres more in place than people think. go back a few years most teams didnt really release names before christmas last year it was all done early so people just expect the same
-
it does look like the promotion havnt learned anything as not 1 off them has posted anything and offical site also not that great with info we all know the problem is not laura real shame things arnt improving ive not given up hope of a decent season on track but really hope im wrong but workington looks like its self destructing from the top down
-
same could be said with many a speedway rider youll be surprised how many want a van as part of deal well it was in the past many just use rentatruc now a days
-
cant see workington gonig for tungate probably be over budget. but on last years form he could do a job id say
-
and did clegg start at reserve or was it riss im sure davey was on a 2 sure there was a fuss made of it at the time
-
wasnt this the starting lineup for 2017 Edinburgh 1. Sam Masters (8.97) 2. Ricky Wells (7.92) 3. Eric Riss (6.85) 4. Josh Pickering (5.00) 5. Max Clegg (4.34) 6. Mark Riss (4.00) 7. Mitchell Davey (2.00) Total: 39.08 Remaining: 0.92
-
he didnt but davey didnt meat all the requirements either did he point proved
-
so if we got lets say if we got a rider like peter kildermand to apply and get british citizen clubs could sign him on a 2 point average no way should davey be classed as a 2 pointer hes rode in this league too much and previously held a average above the limit that was set
-
are you sure always thought mitch was australian with british ansestrey thats why it took so long last year to get his average confirmed even if he is british born he should never have been on a 2 point average as hes been riding for years at this level
-
started on a average last year that wasnt intended for australians
-
yeah but they want be able to fiddle his average 2 years in a row will they thats why theres rumours he will be at another team in 2018
-
matt did have a spell where he went right off but came back towards end of season im sure matt hass more to offer wouldnt like to choose between him or kasper kasper lykee has went well round workington very well at times but hes also had a poor run of form when he couldnt do anything much good
-
as much as i dislike the track at newcastle it would have been awful to loose newcastle as a team just like workington thease are 2 clubs that need more support but you can say the same about almost all clubs in british speedway
