I assume you are referring to Worrall? There was rumours about this but I hadn’t seen anything official? Be a shame if he has retired 

Retired to build a business empire rivalling ab cruisers , good luck to steve for the future. 

[Paul Johnson]

does he get another reduction for missing a season?

Don’t think he would fit. He ended 2024 on 5.04 so would be 4.91 with British reduction. Also just realised Lambert is 4.49 so means we would have 4.84 to play with

Alfie Bowtell possibly an option.

Think he lives down south and is always poor at the EWR

How about shaving a bit off because he's a nice lad

So it looks as though it might be 

1) Josh Pickering 11.64

2) ?

3) Luke Harrison 4.97

4) Connor Mountain 5.96

5) Michael Palm Toft 6.10

6) Simon Lambert 4.49

7) Ryan Ingram 2.00

leaves 4.84 points for number to two if my calculations are correct maybe Declan Kennedy? Maybe someone else?

Wow that is a poor side

Not worth his while just doing the Championship?

Oh well there was more than a few that have said if the riders don't like it they should get a job - they will be pleased 

As far as I know Steve Worrall has a business and a young family. Maybe more a case of priorities and loss of desire.

Exactly - Speedway is no longer worth the risk

Soon to be no more than a cost covered hobby

If Rob wants Ablitt i'm sure an appropriate average reduction will have been applied for with him not riding last season.

Replace Pickering with a 2 pointer and you have 2027 one big league in a nutshell

Like a lot of away riders that come to scunny once or twice a season they struggle but once you ride there every week as your home track you will get the set up dailed in and become better around there

Irrespective of the life of crime.He is a dangerous and out of control on speedway bike.IMO

His van conveniently broke down a few times.Wonder why🤔!!!!!

Forgetting the rights and wrongs of signing garrity he would be a bargain on that average if it's correct 

[SCS]

I think when pickering gets a new average scunthorpe will bring a new rider in so there riders better look out.

What's the logic for giving Garrity an average reduction? 7.23 to 4.80 is a big drop. If it's due to time out of the sport, how can you reward someone for time spent in prison?

If I was a Scunny fan, I'd want my club to steer clear of him, go with Declan Kennedy for example.

Just don’t understand with Scunthorpe going with Pickering that they didn’t negate that and go with 2 2.00 reserves so atleast you can still build a decent top 5 and when Pickering gets an average if 9.00ish then maybe you can change things with one of the reserves.

imo Scunthorpe look like getting the wooden spoon already awful looking line up Palm Toft is a 2nd string these days in this league nowhere near a no5 plus all the other riders no one is a heatleader,there all 2nd strings and reserves.

So despite all that is going on this winter and the expression of the need to reset and build for the future the proposed best solution to Scunthorpes team building is to bring in and over inflated foreign rider and sacrifice a new 2 point Brit as soon as it is possible to do so

I think that shows that people are simply not interested in what might be best and there really is no hope left.....

Pickering on an 11.64 really is a bit silly IMO. Messes up the rest of your side. Unless you gamble on strengthening up once his average drops to a realistic figure after 6 ? meetings

No reason why he wouldnt be averaging 10.5 after those six matches.
