scunny are struggling because of lack of matches, we have only done 3 since the 3rd week of march, how many meetings have the other teams done upto now? at least now we have a run of 4 meetings in as many days, league cup means nothing, whose bothered about winning it? not us scunny fans, we just want to see us getting it all together, we always start slow,

ryans still in aus recouperating(?), klindt offered his services whilst ryans injured. but believe rob thought he'd miss too many matches with riding abroad

josh needs top 5 elite league races to hone his skills against a better calibre of rider, steady has done this for years before being allowed to drop down,you could argue with a comparison with danny king, another tried elite league rider, josh asked every team if he could be in their main body on reserve money, but no one had the guts to take him on, hence why he is a fast track reserve.hopefully being at leicester will keep him hungry and have the regular couple of meetings a week he needs. dont forget it was only a couple of years ago josh was riding in cardiff..

between the two stands next to the referees box, where the old track shop used to be....all the best

Maybe we should use "The Entertainer" as his theme tune? or Robbie Williams.. "let me entertain you"..give me a rider who struggles to gate and still wins races over a rider who gates and go everytime

josh was awsome on monday, he was similar to steady riding sheffield, a class above eveyone else, he looked mean and moody to me, was it because the team were under performing? i dont know,he never came round for applause after a heat win, which i think that was a topic discuused at the scorps meetings, i think a fired up josh is best for us scunny fans and he also needs regular 2 league races, not once a fortnight racing he was getting last year, david will be ok when he figures the set up for the silencers and gets to ride off the kerb, nike, ellis and wilkco will give 110% even if running a last, same as thomas last year, after this run of 4 meets in 4 days we may get a better understanding od how theo and alex measure up, just hope it was bike issues and im sure they will want to turn it around... last monday was only our 2nd full team meeting, it was 10 days sinve they had rode last and is going to be another 10 days till we ride together again, how many teams will have rode 2 or 4 times in that space, only josh and ellis will get regular rides, nike may pick up 1

Philwhitewasmad? is that you andy? as i see shrimmy called you harry lol

i already help sponsor his fuel so might struggle to find anymore

Apparently they cost £100 a bag to replace

ask on FRIENDS OF SCUNTHORPE SPEEDWAY on facebook, someone on there will provide all the info

Scunny bottom? u havin a laff? our team is built like sheffields, win all our matches at home, sneak a couple away,according to some fans thats a league winning side!!!

why is the front page of this forum advertising that artur is still riding?

we reckon robs gonna need a few replacement airbags on standby

scunny dark horses. dont write us off

can i say that nearly all shefield and redcar were there sat afternoon?, steady was there and hugh skidmore, i dont know who else specifically as i wasnt there till 6pm for scunnys practice, and thanks steve

centre green mate, 4th bend

i didnt say he was practicing illegally, i was just saying he was there with the other sheffield guys, in an open practice for all the world to see

it does when you stand next to riders either at pit side or on the centre green and they tell you if that is fast or not

Wilcko....pretty in pink, psychodelic furs

we had music for tj and ryan and for the 5/1s, so cant see why not for everyone?i like the scorpion theme tune as thy are driving round , very dramatic, similar to when sheffield come out i think,i can see it being a party atmosphere and entertaining to the fans, gets em pumping. when rob says "number 1 is david howe" barry could play the theme tune as he gets off the truck, most of us want to get away from just turning up, watch speeedway then go home with nothing to entertain, the die hard fans dont mind, its keeping new ones or the frequent supporters happy,sorry u cant make it, but please suggest it on out page,trust me, the right people will see it

the outsider?? u posted in wrong thread mate, u ended up in sheffield, press and practice is tonite at 6pm, please come over abd then pitch ya ideas to rob or cookie

u in wrong thread outsider,,, press and practice for SCUNNY is at 6pm, please do come over, have a word with rob or cookie to pitch ya ideas

Hi.. can i lead you all to our new facebook page......friends of scunthorpe speedway?,its just started up and would like as many people to like it as possible,feel free to post comments and suggestions, the outsider? could you post your theme tune selections on please? i think they would be a good idea,maybe then people could suggest their own, seeing ellis perks youtube promotion and "give me some loving" maybe he could use that and nike lunna use "new sensation"? in relation to the meeting... no not many turned up im sorry to say, but hey, if they dont come that cant complain about new ideas eh?. the promotion get to read everything as minutes are taken and emailed to paul cook, to be honest our group is based around marketing the club , getting the word around,we arent involved in every part of the running, so we have flyers printed to display in various workplaces or shop windows a vehicle with a scunny speedway sign will drive around town to hopefull catch peoples eye proper rider intros so fans can see who exactly rob is calling out(hopefull to a theme tune in my opinion), they may come out on a truck, do a lap then walk into the crowd and back to the pits. our old announcer from the early tracks will be the roving mic, getting feedback from fans or promote ideas or inititives, two way interaction so to speak as i mentioned, the facebook page maybes are... kids and cone days... kids get a free icecream with an adult loyalty card idea scrapped and an "all inclusive enrty fee"introduced. say for 18 pound you get .entry. a programme and a meal and a drink. i believe dog tracks do this? a prominent scunny business man has said he would help us as we have done alot for the name of scunny, so we are going to ask for help in getting a display either in the town centre or just outside his shop, with bike and rider looking at doing photo opportunities with a rider each meeting, maybe this is aimed at the kids? or the ardent fan?, each week one rider will be available,

you mean when was... 11th march as stated in previous posts

i think we should all turn up bank holiday with blonde afros, make him feel welcome
