  1. Personally I think Rob has listened to the fans proper number one good strong team and ditch the faith in loyalty ( which has its merits but in our case proved problematic) think it will be a make or break year for the Scorpions if the crowds don’t come back to support that team they never will.
  2. Mountain is a good shout cant see Lyager there though what about wilko as the other reserve
  3. Would take Allen and Nielsen from last year but none of the others some been there to long some didn’t try at home and some just can’t ride the track. Do feel we need a good season at home though to bring back the crowds
  4. Personally I would like to see berge at scunny I know it didn’t work out for him at Berwick but I think the track just didn’t suit him where the EWR does
  5. Scunthorpe hold regular practice sessions and am meetings summer and winter, rye house do lots of practice then you have your ameature clubs dragons and southern track riders. All advertise on here and face book, scunny is probably best place to start as very relaxed an informal
  6. The boys will be racing this coming Saturday at veenord in holland
  7. Personally I believe both Kevin and Kieron deserve a chance in the NL both are determined characters who given the opportunity will progress
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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 .
  15. 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
  16. 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
