Dan Greenwood replaces the injured Hume. That’s better than I thought they’d manage tbf.

Scorpions v Glasgow 22.7.18 5.00pm
Islander15 replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Is it going to be run the 500cc and then run the 250cc champs or mixing the two up? -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018
Islander15 replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Whilst the other Friday meetings should not have been taken off the calendar, they dont affect this meeting. It was scheduled for back in May and there aren’t enough Fridays that exist that neither Scunny or Workington had a meeting. -
A solid team now but a lack of heat winners. Auty is having a fabulous season but it’s a gaters track and he’s not a gater! I thought Pieszcek was having a good debut season, even if he’s ran into a bit of dodgy form. Mountain has proven himself at BP this season though so he should do well in heat 2s.
-
Wallinger hahah what a dreadful move! There’s so many more reliable and better 2.00 riders out there and then you’re running the risk of Kemp getting an average anyway. As for Mountain, he might have had a poor meeting last week but this is still easily his best ever season. Then Riss probably does improve on Jeppesen/Hartel but why not make the swap and only replace the injured Hume?!
-
The above happened to Bebee and he got reassessed at 3.00 so not necessarily. Despite what you explain being exactly what the rules say.

Eastbourne v mildenhall 14/7/18 OFF
Islander15 replied to cityrebel's topic in National League Speedway
The fact that other clubs haven’t postponed tonight’s meetings despite postponing ones on other dates that England played show they don’t think it’s a financial risk. So why are Eastbourne fans more interested by the 3rd place play-off than the rest of the country?! -
His junior leagues scores haven’t been amazing so it remains to be seen of he can produce the goods regularly.

Buxton v Brummies NT Sun 8th July
Islander15 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in National League Speedway
Has any actual reason been given yet? -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018
Islander15 replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So all the Scorpions are back fit on July 22nd against Glasgow. -
Lawson was dreadful on Sunday, he seems a strange choice.

Cradley V Brummies Mon 2ndJuly NT
Islander15 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in National League Speedway
I’m afraid that Kemp at reserve but Flint not, decides this one. -
So it’ll be ready for the annual October double headers then

I O W v Brummies NL 28th June
Islander15 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in National League Speedway
This fixture ended as a competition once Morley crashed unfortunately. It will be interesting to see how Birmingham do with Flint in the team but they still have the strongest top 3 in the league and probably the strongest top 4 in the league! They’re going to get enough points between them to win most meetings. Cupitt does seem to have gone backwards this season but dropping to reserve could give him the confidence to reignite his season. You look at other reserves and Cupitt is still one of the better ones. -
I O W v Brummies NL 28th June

Walker is normally excellent at Smallbrook. -
Even though the rule reads as when a rider achieves 4 meetings he gets a new average, it’s been consistently applied that only when a team rides 4 meetings does the riders who’ve have ridden 4 meetings get a new average. If their fourth meeting is later on (like Phillips) they get a new average at the start of the following month.

Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018
Islander15 replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Phillips isn’t doing great but if he was swapped and another rider came in, it’s not going to make a huge difference. He might score 3 rather than 2! The problem with the team is the injuries suffered by Worrall & Nielsen with the latter meaning the reserves (with Gino seemingly still suffering) having to take more rides than they should! -
Is Bates still injured then?
-
Guests I assume for Roynon. Hopwood officially confirmed for Cockle.
-
Yeah it’s a league starting average. Shanes was not over 4.00 at the start of the Championship season, even though he is now.

World Championship Pairs

For anyone coming from the East, there’s a massive crash on the M62 between junctions 29 & 30 -
Glasgow v Scunthorpe 1/6/18 championship
Islander15 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Did Scunny actually use a tac sub ride as Updates said Allen came in as one in heat 5, but he was eligible for R/R then anyway? Also once IRR came into play, I can’t see the logic of using Gino in heat 9 or Phillips in heat 14. -
Initial averages are effective 7 days after the 4th NL meeting of the season. Their 4th was last Friday so they’re effective from today, Friday 1st June. It’s a coincidence that it’s the first of the month today, which is when averages change usually.

Brummies v Bee's Wed 30th May NT
Islander15 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in National League Speedway
At least there’s a realistic Bees assessment on here. The lads have done well overall this season considering the unique limitations there are in this league. -
Dan’s average is too high.
