Also on his facebook......the following translation..... Doesn't make a great deal of sense.. but does indicate sickness. Unfortunately 5 Place Pocking Andreas Lyager (3,0,3,3,1) 10 points in a strong group and help judge on the last run interrupted in the first place and unfortunately hit 1 point. Andreas fought today with sickness and players and that is such a sport well done three more years and you have to fight

Good luck to Holub... We've seen glimpses of what he's capable of...he's a far better rider than his average would suggest. I'm sure, given his low average that someone will offer him a chance to fulfil his real potential. Shame..but changes needed to be made. Holub was always the likely candidate to make way (whatever his average), I guess everyone was reasonably happy keeping hold of Auty, Douglas, Davies and Wilko as they're all capable of producing big scores around Scunny. Getting Wilko back in a reserve berth by replacing Holub with MPT was a no brainer really. That said, I don't think the changes significantly strengthen us, they should however make us a little stronger at home. Its good that the club has honoured the decision to give Andreas Lyager another go, they could of easily reneged on the deal in order to bring in a more proven seven pointer. Hopefully Andreas will prove to be a shrewd signing... fingers crossed he doesn't turn out to be another 'Holub'..

Correct... but never seen him embrace the promotion team like he did last night ...​ time will tell.

Geez lewy... Any chance your mouth bleeds every 28 days...

Mpt was in attendance last night, putting two n two together...?

http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/Scunthorpe-Scorpions-make-change/story-29261158-detail/story.html So two in... We knew Morris was only a temporary fix, so i'm guessing he'll be one to make way... Who's gonna be the other? They're all likeable lads and all capable of putting in a performance...albeit inconsistently..so shame to see any of them go..but guess needs must. Incoming... I guess two from these five... Lyager, Tofty, Compton, Hall, Proctor...? Anyone else spring to mind?

Hammered at Peterborough, Berwick and Glasgow.. I make that three bad results! Supporters already thinking its a waste of time following the team on its travels, unless changes are made, how long before they say its not worth watching at home either. We need strengthening... Edit... make that 4... the home defeat to Peterborough wasn't much fun either. (or Sheffield...but that wasn't no great surprise)

Lyager would presumably become an asset whereas Morris wouldn't... Therefore gotta be in the best interest of the club to go down that route.

I can't honestly see Scunny doing too well in this one.....think we may get a good hammering...hope I'm wrong though.

Where are we strengthening.... Lyager for Morris.. I don't necessarily think that strengthens us. Can't see any other great changes unless robs got something up his sleeve... I can't see us going out and getting a big hitting number one, that would be a financial disaster.

Would it not be in the best interest for speedway to stick to proper averages and not have any restrictions in place. As it is the new ruling is flawed whichever way you look at it. Stick Holub on a five and place in the main body of the team, that only gives a stronger reserve rider the chance to take one of his rides... Is that fair? It can be argued that having him use his real average of three and a place at reserve actually weakens us!

Maybe it's because that's his real average and his position in the team has to reflect that.. If we make further team changes later on in the season, Holub and Lyager would probably be counted as fives and hence give us less points to play with. I don't know, I'm only guessing. Maybe because they aren't new riders to the league, they both rode some meetings last year, albeit without getting an official average. ???

Can just imagine the look on Robs face when having to pay Cookie for a maximum every week... lol

Has it been confirmed that Holubs on a 3.0 Ave? The latest set of greensheet aves have got him down as 3... but is that an error?

But the change they're proposing doesn't really strengthen the team that much, if at all.. Unless Robs got a master plan that he's keeping to himself? Lyagers ok, certainly got potential... but if we've got more points to play with....?

To be honest, I don't think swapping Morris with Lyager will make us that much stronger, if indeed at all. What it does is add to the asset base, which I guess is the important thing. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong...As Holub and Lyager was/are assessed averaged riders...that means for team building purposes, their ave can't drop below five... And as assessed riders, we have to stick with them regardless for the remainder of the season?

Was a good meeting and a great win for Scunny...10 point lead is possibly not gonna be enough...but who knows. Expected more from Newcastle.. Lambert, Worrall and Lindgren were very good value but lacked sufficient back up from the rest of their guys. A typical Newcastle performance around the EWR! Solid team effort from Scunny, all the boys chipped in and were made to work extremely hard for their points. It would've been so easy for Rob to pull the meeting on the strength of the weather forecast... so great credit to him for getting the meeting on. It must be the promoters worst nightmare to have heavy rain descend just an hour or so before the start of the meeting... It must of had a detrimental effect on the attendance.

Still overcast in Scunny... Dry, no rain as yet... and quite blowy...hopefully the forecast of rain between 12-3 was wrong.

Cold weather put some regulars off yesterday... we've had some blooming cold meetings so far this year.. add to that a deal of despondency due to lack of form and a few home defeats...and there's your reason for a lower than expected crowd. That said, its a bit ironic that the weather improved by the start time, arriving at the track, I was pleasantly surprised how mild it had become, was really cold early afternoon. Hopefully we'll be blessed with some nice bank holiday weather next week...Given that... and this much needed, moral boosting home win...plus a better and more attractive opposition in Newcastle... hopefully the locals will be out in force next week.

I know some supporters were put off because of the cold weather forecast... As it was, turned out much milder than expected, was somewhat warmer than it was earlier in the afternoon... Almost tropical for scunny.

Not a bad prediction there NBT.. Little Josh got his win, and a fine ride it was too... his riding deserved more than his paid six tally. Big Josh and Wilko came to the fore too... match winning performances. Plymouth didn't really have a potent point scorer tonight.. Scunny fully deserving the win.

Exactly... Just some of us ain't twats about it!

I'm pleased for Plymouth fans that you've still got speedway to support... Just take a bit of your own medicine though, speedways going though enough rubbish without aiming short shots on others.... Up the scorps!

Keep up... blooming heck lewy, not just scunny that's poor this year! God help you.
