Not sure you can say the listed riders started in the mdl would admit the honed their skills there. Youth speedway is on the up and I do feel there are plenty of opportunities for all levels of rider and cc that a compromise can be come to, to solve the problem. Seems a lot of needless effing and jeffin and general unpleasant comments from those who don't agree and want things there way or know way

Six 500 hundred heats is still the same four riders in the mdl format so your point is what

Not a fan of double points rides or giving someone 7 rides however don't think in Scunthorpe's case last year that any of last seasons losses were due to these rules. It was more a case of the better side won on day and in general even the heavier home defeats were full of good racing which is all we want to see. Do feel though tracks should be prepared so they can be raced and not just ridden no setting them up for a huge home advantage where the visiting team is searching for the dreaded setups for the first 10 heats its usually game over by then. Think scunthorpe is a good example plenty of dirt and racing lines grip is usually pretty even through a meeting and as the dirt moves out those who want to chase it can, those who don't can be just as quick on the slicker inside line.

I'm from scunthorpe and would like to add the lack of a winning team keeps many locals away the product it's self is very good if you view every meeting as a neutral as I do win or loose as long as I'm entertained not to concerned by the result. However the town has an attitude of if they ain't winning I'm not going and this follows the same pattern with the football club.

I attended the youth awards on Saturday and as such I would say having seen all of these kids ride I can see the green shoots of recovery coming through. Neil Vatcher is doing a brilliant job getting them track time at a variety of tracks. With the gtr engine coming through as a cost cutter to the riders and the general up turn in the economy ( it makes us happier)I can see a rise in popularity over the next few years not to the level of football but back to pre recession levels. Let's try to be more positive and enjoy our sport.

Me to mate but seeing half the meetings is better than no meetings at all

Earlier start is good news warmer weather and more time to watch second half either MDL or NJL and still home early.

Not sure what you mean

Jeremy Corbyn is a lunatic wouldn't want to go on anything he says.

No not yet but when there is I shall sample a few

Been to the track today and had a look round the new bar corporate area very impressive addition to the field of dreams.

How about six man teams no doubling up down left or right. Then start year one with a 45 point limit and the following year all teams can build to the points limit the champions achieved. All riders get 5 rides no long term guests or rr for injured riders 10 days only as that facility. If a rider is injured during a meeting his rides can be taken by a team mate who has the same or lower average as the oppositions top averaged rider in the heat.

From a scunthorpe point of view I expect them to entertain me on a weekly basis. Can't see them losing to many at home but do see lots of closely fought meetings which could go either way happiness is 46/44.

That's good news then for the future any info on them yet i.e. Are parts interchangeable can the 250 be converted to a 500 by changing the top end.

Just a thought but are they doing a 250 engine. Would seem strange that any youngster coming through would have to go down the jawa route then change to the gerhard, surely the powers that be need to look at those coming through as well as those already riding.

Wilko has been at a similar average now for a few year don't see him improving on it but can't see a massive reduction either. Seems to be mr dependable in the middle order can see him riding at two so if he maintains his average throughout the season it will be job done

I would say mid table mate a lot will depend on Wallner at reserve

So with the team named and only mid November how do we keep this thread alive.

Yep already preparing and think it's going to be a 9 average target for him

It certainly was had a brilliant time and met some great people along the way

Cheers for that just cost me £50

Am I right in thinking mimmo that Luke Harrison achieved a 5.1 average for the season across all meetings

Wrongly then

Not many people including wilko in the team for next year if it's a choice rather him than Alex as thought he was a stronger option in all positions

Isn't Wallner a five
