How many meetings does he need to complete to get a new average, I thought it was 4 home and away.

An unknown Swede or Dane might be a good idea if they have time to get an average.

When driving your car the punishment for death by dangerous driving is likely to be far greater than dangerous driving. The point being, the consequences of a dangerous move has a bearing on the punishment. If Tungate managed to spray him with shale he gets off with no punishment, however his dangerous move went wrong and the punishment should be more severe than £200.

Future Of Scunthorpe Scorpions

I am not sure it was affecting crowds, I think afternoon meetings make it hard to get the water in the track and left us with very little home track advantage. The racing is generally better on a Friday but the crowds are generally better at the weekend. A compromise of early Sunday evening might work. -
I think the racing gets better because the dirt line moves a bit wider giving the riders a few more options. The outside line NKI took in the final would never of worked earlier on in the meeting. I am not sure its a good idea to drag so to much dirt back to inside at every grading.

Seems there have been a lot of injuries this year, some will say there are always lots of injuries in speedway and its not getting worse. If people could post a list of injuries sustained by their team and I will compile a list of injuries to riders who ride in the British league, that way in future we will have something to compare it to. Scunthorpe Josh Auty: Broken hand (missed 10) Ryan Douglas: Fractured vertebrae (missed 6) Coventry Bees Stuart Robson: Concussion, Arm & Leg injuries (missed 6) James Sarjeant: Shoulder injury, badly bruised ribs, arm injury (missed 6) Hans Andersen: Broke his finger Jason Garrity: Knee injury Coventry Strom Luke Crang: Shoulder blade injury (still out injured) Connor Dwyer: knee injury (still out injured) Berwick Bandits Ben Barker: Back injuries (out for season) Claus Vissing: knee ligaments (still out) Hynek Stichaur: Broken ankle (still out) Matic Voldrih: Broken leg (out for season)

I am not sure how long it takes to prepare a track for premier league racing but could amateur meetings and open trainings take place earlier in the day. It might be more efficient to have everything on one day with track staff and medical cover. -

With afternoon meetings always quite well supported at Scunny why not switch the race day back to Sunday but run a bit latter at say 6pm that way track prep would be better and it might be better for those who travel along way and for kids that can't stay up late. -

I would hope if it came to it Rob would sell the club, but you never know. Losing the current promotion really could be a big loss, just look at the, the track prep, the club website, the excellent value café, the entertaining team of racers and the centre green announcer. -

I get your point that the plea for more supports would be better in the wider press but you said it was a 'waste of time' putting a statement on the club website. -
Danish Gp In Horsens 08.08
eric i replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Horsens has a capacity of 12,500, Vojens has a capacity of 22,000. Temporary tracks don't take much rain whereas vojens has covers(not always effective). -

Rob always says it how it is and keeps the fans informed about what's going on. Would you rather him say nothing and then shut up shop on the 31st of August. -

Maybe Scunthorpe could put on a fund raising meeting at the end of the year invite all the past Scunthorpe riders. Surely Woffinden would find time to help Scunny through this difficult season. -

I think the standard of Premier league is higher than when Scunthorpe first moved up to the PL in 2008....... 2008 team Andy Moore Carl Wilkinson Magnus karlsson Vicktor Bergstrom Richard Hall Byron Bekker Benji Compton This team finished 10th out of 16. I think crowds have dropped to some extent due to the poor results and maybe due to the working class people of Scunthorpe having less spare cash to spend on speedway. From Scunthorpe's point of view a shake up of the leagues in 2016 might be good, with some of the bigger PL clubs going EL and some of the bigger NL teams joining the PL.
