Oxford have joined the league and have been allocated a Wednesday evening this is due to other sides riding on a Friday , this isn’t a dig at Oxford speedway it’s due to a shortage of riders when the season starts and riders are missing due to injuries and riders having other commitments abroad . The back end of last season there was a serious shortage of riders for guest spots late in season due to this problem .Also it stops the dreaded R/R situation for clubs

I remember it well ,when they wished we crash our car on the way home .Absolute oxygen thieves the full crowd of them and it wasn’t our fault Riss missed the meeting and had to be replaced by a young 2 pointer

Why is it the Scunthorpe promoter is getting the blame for a Wednesday night for Racing , I’m sure due to the dog racing for the Betting Shops there isn’t a lot of choice of days when the speedway can race . I know Rob Godfrey gets a bad press but surely he alone can’t say when a side rides there home fixtures

I’m sure Oxford wanted him as a Rider but ended up been a team manager

A full season in the championship Jordan Palin 5.70 Scunthorpe DrewKemp. 3.67 Eastbourne/Edinburgh in real times Kemp should have a higher average to be fair as both Eastbourne/Edinburgh are technical tracks but I think due to Jordan spending a full season at Peterborough around some seasoned pro’s in the Top league makes him the better rider

Palin is better

I think Glasgow will be as there assured to run in 2023 season , they own there own stadium

Poole would have been a cracking side with Basso in the 7 riders so Glasgow pulled one Over the Pirates about time it happened to them

Don’t Panic Mr Mannering your last few riders are Les Collins,Ray Morton ,Paul Thorpe and Simon Stead

Morris is a class act on and off the track

Really think Glasgow have a decent side on paper with improvements in Brennan and Nichol will determine how far the team can go. . Also love it when the Tigers fans visit us at Scunthorpe the atmosphere is brilliant and there fans although passionate are very honest when seeing good hard racing on the track ,good luck to the Tigers for the coming season as Ulle’s injury last season cost them the title

I think Connor Mountain will up his average a fair bit , he was quality guesting for Scunthorpe at the end of last season

Predictions are unreal in a sport we’re over a couple of week period you could lose half you team through injury , heres hoping injuries are at a low percentage and the best team wins over the season on the track rather than the treatment table

I’ve rung a couple of people and fact he’s was on a guaranteed wage

I think he has priced himself out the market and will get a spot if a riders form dips or gets injured , also from the terrace chat last year at Scunthorpe I heard he’s on a guaranteed wage even if he has a bad night

What pts have they left for the last man

This is only a tongue-in-cheek reply as one poster has said earlier there will be a few more Aussies

Sedgeman , Rob Branford and Crumpy to make up the team

Basso was unbelievable at Scunthorpe last year and I believe he hasn’t been at half the tracks ,let’s see what 2022 brings

Surely the Town Council will get involved and get an amicable decision sorted

Here we go again “ The Grim Reeper “ is back , let’s get the season started and we will do a half term report . I believe the side put together is a decent one , I would love to know if Leicester tried to keep Dougy or if his foreign commitments didn’t help .I’m pleased with the team

I’m not a Poole fan but let’s give there Promotion a chance to sort things out ,as a speedway fan we need as many teams to be in the league as possible as we all know Speedway is a sport that is diminishing in size so lets get behind all teams that want to come to tapes in 2022 Good Luck from an ExHull Vikings fan now converted to a Scunthorpe Scorpions fan

Stef Neilsen did more than enough to warrant a place in Poole’s line up fo 2022

Two kangaroos to complete the septet
