As if that would ever happen... Tai could've done so much for Scunthorpe Speedway since winning his first world championship.. he's done nothin. As for the Scorpions 2021... since Jakes announcement, reckon we need a major rebuild ... I think we need 3 new riders not just a replacement for Jake... I'd sooner us withdraw from the league than be just a number.

Any idea of Theo's average?

Hardly inspiring....I did hear whispers of it being a short term deal, however no mention of that in the press release....so maybe not.

Devastating news..... RIP Danny

Maybe it time to get speedway pumped into betting shops...

Rumours are rife at this time of year... only time will tell if this has any truth to it...

Have heard a strong rumour that Jake Allen is lined up for The Tigers

If this is the scenario...Plymouth in and Newcastle out.... would that then mean Plymouth replacing Leicester in the southern region?....Leicester go into the northern group? ...don't think they'd be too happy about that!

Again, he puts 'what's in the best interest for british speedway' before the best interests of his club .

Agree, its a great idea.... not sure how it can be described as 'regional' though... Seems a tad harsh on Scunny, no local derbies, just lots of travelling to the most northern of outposts.

Scott Anderson?

I think the only 'surprise' will be IF the team isn't announced as the one widely named on this thread.

Will miss the derby matches..., not as much as Rob will miss the revenue the Sheffield supporters used to bring lol. Used to love going and supporting the Tigers in the 70/80's, Scunny on a Monday, Sheffield on the Thursday... Its not been the same since we've been in direct competition with each other. Hopefully Sheffield will share one or two Scunny riders, might tempt me to make the occasional trip over. Good luck to them, hope it all works out.

I think 50 minutes to complete a meeting is virtually impossible...it certainly wouldn't be achievable on a regular basis. Referees control the pace of a meeting. If the weather threatens and there's good will from all parties, no falls or restarts, then 50 minutes may just about be possible. Scunny have completed meetings in 75 minutes on a few occasions, however about hour and half-two hours is the norm, about right in my opinion.

From a Scunny fan, the team was hit and miss, probably performed as most predicted pre-season. The on track entertainment was excellent... however I echo everyone else's comments, the season was far too short, too many blank weekends, supporters just tend to lose a bit of interest. I'd like to see every track host a meaningful 4TT. Plus a round of a Championship GP style meeting....and a few more league meetings wouldn't go amiss.

Well.... who saw that coming! Get in Scorps

Fair play to Leicester, fully deserving of their win... Scunny just not at the races tonight. We were up against it from the off... the odd harsh decision against us but overall no complaints, beaten by the better side. Not a classic but some great races nonetheless. Really impressed by Ellis Perks display, deserved heat 15, shame it spoilt what would've been a fine paid maximum though.

That's true.. The refs scores correlated with mine, so not sure how the BSPA site have it wrong.. We had, Worrall 9+3 (6), Ostergaard 11+1 (5), Bjerre 5+1 (4), Wethers 4 (4), TJ 5, Clegg 3+1 (4), Phillips 1 (3)...

Not a comfortable win but a win nonetheless... well done the Scorps and well done Newcastle for making such an excellent meeting. After the 5-1 reversal in heat one I thought we could be in for a hiding.. but fair play the lads...and particularly Josh Auty, a superb paid max display led the boys to a great home win.

Irreplaceable in many ways.... RR not a good option....and who's out there that could ever replace our Mr Entertainment? .. This is the worst news for Scunny... Get well soon Danny, heal soon matey.

Fair play Brummies… Rode a decent meeting, congrats on the draw. Scunny only themselves to blame.. should've won by a canter but simply gifted too many points away.

If that was John Campbell's idea of a wet track... makes one wonder how the hell the away meeting at Edinburgh on Friday even started...Did John complain then? No... It was well over watered, far wetter than Scunny was at any point yesterday.

Weather was fine leading up to meeting.... The odd rumble of thunder accompanied by a shower hit after heat 3, made the track a little wet for about four races. It wasn't too bad but John Campbell complained and wanted a halt in proceedings, bit of nonsense really,, his riders seemed okay with it...think he just wanted a breather. Weather and track was fine for the rest of the meeting.

Much easier home win than expected... Pretty poor show from Edinburgh. Jensen and Pickering were good value. Worst I've seen from Heeps and Wells around Scunny. Thought Lawson did fairly well. For Scunny, pretty solid throughout. Josh Auty was simply magnificent, congrats to him on a well earned 15pt maximum. Simon Lambert had one of his better meetings, fully deserving a shot at heat 15. Worthy mention too for Ryan Kinsley, you gotta love a trier, 110% effort again with little reward. All in all, a decent meeting (as far as us Scunny fans are concerned). Plenty passing...and an easy three points in the bag.

Watched the meeting courtesy of EMTV... Brilliant idea, great coverage (albeit a tad of a home bias )… kudos to Edinburgh though for leading the way on this. I really enjoyed it , even though the Scorpions ended up on the wrong end of a beating. One or two decent races... although racing generally pretty strung out and processional. I guess you can blame that on standard of opposition and quality of home teams top four. Impressive show from Edinburgh's big hitters, you could see how comfortable and dialled in to their home track they are, was too easy for them....for Scunny, notable mentions for Danny Ayres and to a lesser extent Ben Barker, they gave their best shot. Thanks again to EMTV, keep up the good work lads.
