It’s difficult for Rob to get a time and day that suits everyone for me personally a Friday night is the best time out of them all and he has had said in previous years the best attendances came from racing on a Friday night

Great to see Simon given the captaincy and totally deserves it with his vast experience just expected it be Josh to be honest

Great to see Josh Macdonald on the plane over here as I write this along with a few fellow Aussies. Hopefully can get his isolation done and some laps in around the Eddie Wright raceway In preparation for competitive speedway at last !

Yeah I read it in speedway star you would have thought they’d have something up by now anyway !

Well Josh Macdonald it is seems to have done well over winter in Aussie and hopefully can bring some form over here. I’m sure Rob will let him practice as much as he wants so should at least get a few practice sessions in and get a solid base to work off in the Eddie Wright Raceway !

Well yeah obviously their sponsorship would be very important given the current circumstances but I’m personally very keen to know our No1 as well !!!

Well we’ve got an announcement about an announcement on the Scorpions Twitter ! Just hope it’s about a rider and not we are pleased to secure Henderson insurance as the title sponsor for another year !!

Would be nice to see Ryan Kinsley get a championship place because he deserves it given his progression last season for Scunny and seems a genuine nice lad

Interesting !

Like what !!?

Well it’s a tricky situation we are in with next to no riders that fit the average it’s okay for everyone else with full 7s ready to go but the reality of the situation is the season is now only 5 weeks away and it’s a very realistic prospect it will start then and we haven’t got a no1!

Yeah exactly so unlikely that Rob or any other promoter would want to have to put something towards his equipment

Well he did say that he was gonna retire/ sit a few seasons out so think it’s unlikely but you never know

Yeah I really hope Rob has realised that replacing Jake to the exact average is near impossible given how late In the day it is and is keen to get the deal done even if it costs a little more

That would just be amazing !

Saw he was out with Palin how were they comparing ?

I do agree but you just never know stranger things have happened !

Yeah I agree I did think initially they might pull out leaving us Ben Barker but I don’t think they will to be honest

Yeah either of them two or Godfrey could pull someone out of retirement like he’s kind of done with Pijper !

Yeah it’s gonna be really difficult to pull someone out of Europe given the current situation

Just seen that Benji Compton has announced he is riding for Belle Vue Colts so I think that explains him being back on a bike and possibly rules him out of the Scunthorpe seat a little more to be honest

Yeah I do agree Macdonald should hit the ground running with it being his second year having learnt the tracks

Weren’t they on about Benji Compton ? Though I do think Mason Campton is a better option all very confusing ! Would help if they just announced it !

What sort of average did he used to be 4-5 ish ?

Yeah just josh Macdonald is not really the same calibre of who is replacing but yeah if we can’t go up to the points limit he’s a solid rider
