Scunthorpe 2026


Recommended Posts

I sometimes rate teams as to whether I would go to watch them away from home. This Scunthorpe side is one I would definitely not turn out for. Apart from Pickering it's very much same old same old and they will definitely end up at the bottom of the league if changes are not made. Apart from Picko and to a lesser degree Harrison, there is not one glint of excitement in the side.

Totally agree seems to be loyal and hang on to the old faithfuls

What would Ablitts average be? If its his 2024 average - 2.5% it puts Scunthorpe over the limit.

He didn't ride last season so gets 8% off then the 2.5%

Rather ironic really that when one big league is discussed and the loss of the star rider is lamented by some it is defended by others stating "you still get great races with the likes of Simon Lambert" "great team man" "we could do with more like Simon Lambert" "we need to develop and look after our own" yet even the team that is signing the one we have don't seem greatly enthusiastic about it!!

Surely every team should be fighting over him....... :)

He rode for the Steelers.

Also looking at the BSPL statement on this issue, it states they may apply for the 8% average reduction.

He also rode for the Kent Eagles but I bet he does get the reduction..

I don’t think anyone can really begrudge the lad a reduction. He’s a young British lad that will more than likely be froze out the sport otherwise! Anyway he might not be in the team after all!

And people wonder why so many riders have called it quits over the last few years....

Yes he would fit regardless of whether he gets a further reduction.

If it’s Lambert and Ablitt, Ablitt would need the 8 percent reduction. Scunthorpe have 9.33 points left to play with and Lambert is 4.49 with British reduction and Ablitt would be 4.91 with British reduction

9.51 points left to play with according to confirmed signings. Is Josh Pickering 11.46?
