What I was trying to point out is, that we always have at least one dummy at reserve, this has been the case since 2012 the last time when we had scoring reserves of MPToft and Garry Irvine, since then we have had the likes of Armstrong from Australia, Josh Bailey, Matt Williamson (112 races before a reserve race win), and now Phillips who is now averaging about 1.3. Remember that with us having so many injuries, these reserves are often required to ride either RR races or stand in after a rider is injured, no matter what some of you are saying, teams cannot carry reserves that as a pair, are scoring 1 point between them in 8 races, and at Peterborough and Berwick this weekend 2 points from 17 races, these two points coming from our third and fourth places in the reserves race, this is pathetic in anyones langauge. Supporters get fed up with this situation, and although I had not missed a home meeting for 8 years, two weeks ago for the first time, I actually did not bother to go, and last week against Edingburgh, there could not have been any more that 300 turned out, on a nice sunny day, having supported Scunthorpe Speedway since Quibell Park, Ashby Ville and now the EWR, I am just pointing this out because like a few more, I want Speedway to continue at Scunthorpe.

Scunny seem to think that there is no need for reserves, since 2012 we have always had at least one dummy as reserve, Rob does not seem to understand that teams cannot win anything with non-scoring reserves, we have prooved this over the years, he has dumped our dead wood this year, but once again we are not scoring any points from reserves, this week we scored ONE POINT from 9 reserve rides at Peterborough, and ONE POINT at Berwick from 8 reserv rides, neither rider beat an apponant. Wallinger seems to be Robs guest choice when a reserve rider is needed, he has scored ZERO POINTS from 11 rides, this is pathetic, and no wander gates have fallen off alarminly, our supporters are sick of being in the bottom three year after year.

Management have formed a very good 1 to 6 team for 2018 season, supporters deserve this after 5 very poor seasons and teams, please do not let us spoil things by having a outclassed number 7, this will certainly do the riders confidence no good, and we have suffered too much over the years by not having a scoring number 7.
