  1. Heard a rumor (whether its true is still to be seen and announced) but apparently Steve Worrall is moving to a Championship track 'closer to home' and this should allow him to fulfill his Polish commitments, and with Rob announcing in the SS that he'd be running Fridays next year (if we are to run) could this mark out a return for stevie? Trying to think of a team, could we maybe have something like this: Steve Worrall, Jake Allen, Josh Auty, Dimitri Berge, No 5?, Josh Bates, Josh Bailey (or JPB?)
  2. Autys going nowhere, we love him at scunny and hes happy with us
  3. I know who'd I'd like to see in a scunny racejacket next season (providing the average limit is 46) (averages based on this weeks speedway star, so could be wrong) 1. Steve Worrall (9.26) 2. Jake Allen (6.08) 3. Thomas Jorgensen (7.22) 4. Josh Auty (7.44) 5. Nick Morris (9.07) 6. Fritz Wallner (3.76) (Would he have to come back on a 4?) 7. Jack P Blackburn (2.67) TOTAL - 45.5 On paper, it looks like a team that would entertain, do well home and away and potentially make the play offs
  4. Scunny Team, far as I know is Kerr Tero Josh A Ryan MPT Carl Josh B Although Rob announced Friday that MPT was going back to 1 and Tero/Wilko swapping positions, cant remember if it was for this meeting our our next home one
  5. Kerr is expected to be back for this fixture, and Rob announced Josh B will be back this Sunday Scorpions line up like this Lewis Kerr Tero Aarnio Josh Auty Ryan Douglas Michael P Toft Carl Wilkinson Josh Bailey
  6. Like to hope for a Scunny win... Harris set for atleast 12 points, if not 15... hope Douggie has sorted his engine problems out (probably go back to his ones from last year, the GTRs aren't doing him much good ), Wilko due for a good match.. Greaves as a guest could either be brilliant or not, time will tell. Weather looks fine here (5 miles from the track) bring on the racing
  7. Hoping the Scorpions can salvage a point out of this meeting, hopefully Robs made a good choice in guest in Mitch Davey.
  8. Car Park £1.00 at Scunny... I believe £17 (inc car park and programme) is excellent value on Britains finest racetrack
  9. Scunny2012, check your private messages on here please
  10. Any news on a press and practice date?? Know Fixtures are released 9am Tuesday
  11. Personally I prefer Friday nights myself, but at the end of the day, we're just lucky we have a track to go to and a team to support, more than what some others can say
  12. From a Scorpions prespective: Ryan Douglas - starting as our number 1, shown all the potential in the past 4 years hes been with us and this year could be his year, I can see him pushing towards an 8 - 8.5 average Fritz Wallner - shown potential at the end of last season, hopefully not another Zdenek Holub.... Definenetly an entertainer though. I'd say if he can achieve a 4.5 average, it would have been a successful season for the lad. Lewis Kerr - On a bargain average! I can easily see him being a 6-8 pointer towards the end of the season. Great to see him enjoying his racing again. Potential number 1 Michael 'Palm Tree' Toft - Again, much like Lewis, could be a number 1 on a 8 point average. Josh Auty - 'Mr Entertainer' didn't have a great 2016, expecting him to stay at heat leader. Carlos Wilkinson - 'Mr Dependable' should be aiming to be in the top 5 come the end of the season Josh Bailey - Last season ended on the injured list. Shown a lot of potential during the season to persuade Rob to keep him, and a great guy, Im sure he can come on leaps and bounds this season. All in all, all I would like to see is an entertaining season, hopefully we wont lose too many at home. Potential dark horses for the play offs
  13. Heard via Facebook Alex is coming back in 3 months so who knows if he has a team elsewhere in the league or would be our back up rider
  14. Just a thought for next season to start the season - A retro style meeting (Like what Scunny v Sheffield at the end of 2013(?)) 13 heats + 2nd half - for the Kenny Smith memorial? Whats everyone think
  15. What we need at Scunny in 2017 - A decent number 1 - no disrespect to Josh but he aint a number 1, a 9 pointer maybe? - A decent sound system, so us fans can hear better - Better music, sorry Barry but yer musics coming stale now.. - Challenge meetings at the start of the season - maybe against a team such as Leicester? - Meetings to fill in blank weekends (Championship of Lincolnshire individual as an idea)
  16. I wouldn't dream of walking away from Speedway. I appreciate this is under an EL thread and Im from Scunthorpe in the PL, but to me speedway is speedway. Having travelled up and down the country watching all levels of league speedway - you have some good meetings and bad meetings. The rules do put me off speedway a little bit BUT when Im at a meeting, and what I say to any possible newbies is forget about the politics and enjoy the entertainment. The end of the day promoters/managers deal with the politics - the supporters are there for the entertainment. So all I would say is attend your home meetings and ENJOY YOUR ENTERTAINMENT of Speedway while you still have it
  17. Having been to Sheffield twice in one week (went to the PLRC last Sunday) I can honestly say I think them two meetings are the worst I've seen this season. I do not know how Sheff fans can keep watching FTG racing week in week out. Well done Sheffield on your win on Wednesday
  18. As the season finale fastly approaches winter is just around the corner, time for team predictions and everyones thoughts. The 2016 season for Scunny has been up and down, with results not going our way, and with the team just clicking at the end of the season. For me I feel privaliged just to be able to say that I can go to the EWR week in week out and witness some fantastic speedway racing. For me I'd have 5/6 of the current team. 1. Thomas Jorgensen 2. Fritz Wallner (depending on average) 3. Lewi Kerr 4. Josh Auty 5. Ryan Douglas 6. MPT (depending on average) 7. Josh Bailey OR Jack Smith, who both have impressed whilst racing for the Scorpions in 2016. Your thoughts folks
