  1. Personally I believe both Kevin and Kieron deserve a chance in the NL both are determined characters who given the opportunity will progress
  2. Got to say the entertainment level is generally very high and the team is usually very entertaining however with the nature of people from Scunthorpe been if they aren't winning I'm not going has seen crowds fall . It isn't just a speedway thing it happens at the football club to. Think we need a winning team rather than an entertaining one mainly because some people feel there only entertained if there team wins
  3. What is the fascination with josh Auty surely we need to move on and change completely if we are to run next season The top 5 of that team will all double up so potentially you will never track a full side due to clashes in the fixtures
  4. Next year if we are to run only would have Jake Allen from this years team as he really comes with a clean slate can't really count the few meetings he's done this year. Others I would like to see are in no particular order Liam Carr, Demetri Berge, T.J. Lee Payne, Arron Summers, Ben Barker, Kyle Howarth , Richie Worrall. As an older supporter said to me on Sunday the present team has two many Nicky Allotts and not enough Arthur Brownings so time to start a fresh and have none of this years team. And before you shoot me down I know they don't fit in a team altogether just a bit of a wish list and bring back Friday as the preferred race night
  5. Wonder if the under performing riders understand the impact they have on clubs with there perceived lack of effort. It's not getting beat it's the manner of the defeat that annoyed people round us on Sunday
  6. Six man teams 5 rides each has to be the way forward as stated the majority of meetings are run with this format. If a rider gets injured the rider above or below can take his rides, if it's the lowest averaged rider injured the rider above or a nominated number 7
  7. Good meeting this and some good individual performances and battles, little luke rode the best he's ever done at Berwick and the races between Archie and Elliot were good to watch some bright prospects on show
  8. My question for the future would be how would people feel if all meetings were double headers next season. Rob said he needed 500 to break even and would say there was about 600 to 650 there . Bar was fairly busy as was the cafe. Maybe start mid April at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon still he finished by 7.30 meetings every 2 weeks and always run bank holiday Monday. Wouldn't be to difficult to arrange the teams who fetch a lot of away supporters i.e. (Sheffield,Peterborough,Redcar) with the teams who don't fetch as many examples Edinburgh Workington .
  9. Personally think the cost ain't massive for a youngster starting second hand rolling chassis and a brand new 125 engine for less than £1000 then the safety gear normally less than £300 and away you go . A main problem is track time and the cost of it dependent on where you live a day at the track can be £100 with all the costs added up. Kids need to be riding once a week so £400 a month starts to add up to an expensive sport. Most parents understand this and make huge sacrifices to let the kids follow there dreams . maybe the powers that be could cover the cost of track hire and have kids only days a couple of days a month at various locations
  10. Massive away win now robs announced we will run next year this lot will up there game so we can keep the same seven next year
  11. One league 6 man teams every rider has 5 rides , if a rider is injured during the meeting the rider directly above or anyone below in averages can take his rides only one extra though, no long term rr or guests injured riders to be replaced in 10 days. No black and white rides.
  12. Giants v stars didn't take place neither did dukes v meteors
  13. Harry Mcgurk 4th Sam Mcgurk 10th Luke Harrison 17th really good meeting in a difficult format lots of positives from the meeting.
  14. Yes it is due to the torun meeting Berwicks Luke Harrison and Sam Mcgurk and halfax rider Harry Mcgurk are all there to race on Thursday in the European 125 championship. They also got to watch Torun v Wroclaw yesterday and will watch the sec meeting on Friday Got to love been the dad of a speedway kid lol
  15. The start list go team gb #3 #12 #15 De startlijst: 1 Bartosz Tyburski 2 Erik Bachhuber 3 Luke Harrison 4 Pavel Kuchar 5 Christian Wagemans 6 Jonny Wynant 7 Karol Zupinski 8 Milan Dobias 9 Margriet Diever 10 Kacper Makowski 11 Marlon Hegener 12 Harry McGurk 13 Maximilian Troidl 14 Filip Nizgorski 15 Sam McGurk 16 Filip Sifalda 17 Pawel Trzesniewski 18 Piotr Swiercz 19 Nick Haltermann 20 Nynke Sijbesma 21 Wiktor Przyjemsky 22 Sam Ensing 23 Daniel Klima 24 Tom Finger 25 Krysztof Lewandowski
  16. Not alarming as it may look some kids stay 125 and don't go 250 some have an extra year on the 250s before going 500 it's mainly due to the age spread and like you say national league beckons as well for the 15 year old. 33 riders is a good number and seems to be increasing year on year
  17. Are berge and Vissing available if so let's get them even if it means another change as well
  18. Redcar Carl basford, Gavin parr , Alex Goldsbourgh, Elliot Kelly Berwick josh embleton, Kieran Douglas, Luke Harrison Sam McGurk
  19. At this moment I do believe that the youth scene is moving in the right direction year on year more riders taking part and moving through the groups. I'm sure tai could help in someways but let's not think he is the messiah of the youth movement as it is already in good hands
  20. Was enjoying this thread until this delusional post
