I can’t see Scunthorpe getting anything from this, just not strong enough. been impressed with both of the Kennedy’s so far as well as Luke and Connor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 We have started this page to support Scunthorpe Scorpion Jake Allen, who during one of his last league fixtures of the season, experienced a series of unfortunate events leaving him with only one salvageable bike going into his remaining fixtures. During his first ride an engine was blown therefore leading him to race on his second bike. In his second a crash caused him to lose the vast majority of his second bike including front wheel, diamond, handle bar and both guards. There was also damage to his forks and helmet. The costs are yet to be determined but are estimated to be £1,500. Jake wanted to publicly thank those who approached him Friday to offer their support, have sent messages since and Colin Poole for his support in piecing together his bent and broken frames since Friday’s fixture. Fundraiser by Dan Palmer : Help get Jake Allen back on track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan555 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Well now the season has come to an end I thought I’d offer my thoughts on each riders season to try restart this thread! Steve Worrall - it’s been a tough season for Steve who is certainly isn’t a number 1 anymore. He is on a nice average for next year but If the rumours are correct that he has retired it will be a shame but not surprising. Jake Allen - another tough year for Jake, some nights looks like he’s got bags of speed, other nights looks like he’s on a tractor. Ideally you would only want Jake as a third heat leader. On an average of 6.53 I’m on the fence as to whether he should return. Connor Mountain - one of few riders that has a decent enough season. A solid and dependable rider who I would expect to be back next year. Only thing I would say his average just over 6 is a little heigh for my liking. Zaine Kennedy - Zaine has progressed nicely this year and deffo has potential to grow into a heat leader. On an average just over 5 I would say he needs to snapped up for next year before someone else does. Luke Harrison - a talented young lad who has maintained a decent average riding in the main body of the team for large parts of the year. Would deffo want Luke back next year but looking at this Facebook page he may well be off elsewhere, maybe this is a negotiation tactic - I’m not sure?!! Declan Kennedy - very much had a season of 2 halves. Started well at reserve but understandably struggled when riding at number 3. If he could be slotted in at reserve next year would be an ok signing in my opinion. Simon Lambert - well, where do I start! A pretty poor first 2/3 of the season although he did pick up some form later in the season. His average has plummeted to 4.64 but I think really Rob needs to put a line in the sand and let Simon go for next season. Potential signings - well the obvious requirement is a genuine number 1 however this is easier said than done! I’m struggling to see a number 1 in the league that might be tempted to the EWR. Scunthorpe certainly have a type of rider they go for so having said that here are a few people that might come and would be decent enough signings IMO - MPT (cheap average) Nick Morris (former scorpion on a cheap average) Dan Gilkes (providing injury is ok) Anders Rowe (may be a victim of the numbers at Poole) Anti Vuolas (seems to love the place but think a few clubs will want him). As a I said just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
