It does seem odd signing Pickering, knowing his average will drop & leave them under the limit, but the only change was to bring in a like-for-like change.

Picko needs back-up... Criminal that we haven't used the points available to strengthen.

I don't understand it, everyone knew Picko's average was going to drop 2 points, he should have been sounding riders out last winter, he could have chanced a kid from Europe on 7 point average. The Ironic thing is David Howe was in speedway star the other week saying that if all the team were to perform to their average they will be fine but they are all perfoming to their average, its just he and Godfrey has built a team 2points below the limit.

Watched the stream v Glasgow, what a star you have in Ingram and you have a genuine no. 1 in Pickering

It's my understanding and from a reliable source that Ingram had committed to Plymouth for CL this season in return for them giving him his chance in NDL last season when Scunthorpe weren't interested.

A very late change of mind is Scunthorpes gain. What a team he'd have made Plymouth with as good a 1-6 already as there is. Its a shame too as Danny King and Scott nicholls would be great mentors.

Scunthorpe appear to be more a set of individuals with one out and out superstar at the level.

Get the feeling the intention was always to sack Ingram- thought it was strange that all the squad had 2026 kevlars but Ingram was wearing Worrall kevlars from last season when the season started, but with way he's gone on there was no way scunthorpe could consider releasing him.

 

Could just be me putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 though.

im not sure but i think something was wrong with them for press and practice so he got Worralls, mind you Gilkes seemed to get his sharpish,,,Tbh our set of riders should be untouchable around our track the amount of times they rode it but you get riders coming over showing us how to ride it after 1 race?

I also think the main stumbling block is riders demands,big signing on fees,new bike or engines etc,but in interviews when they get picked up they always say "all i wanted was to get back on a bike" Everone slagged lambert off but he would ride for a packet of fags if it meant he was riding,
