Where has that information come from? Nothing on club website, facebook page or twitter page.

You would have to say that if that top 4 can stay healthy they will be big favourites for the fours and the pairs as well. Could they win the league? Of course they could, but there will be at least another 5 to 7 teams once completing their line ups that can do it as well, but with the top 4 at Glasgow as it stands at the present you would have to say it is highly likely. Are they buying the title? Probably, but why not, if you have a set of owners who have and prepared to splash the cash why not use that to build and get the best set of riders possible, and at the end of the day if it was our team we would not be complaining. There will be lots of twists and turn next season as there is every season, Glasgow may win some silverware they may not but they have given themselves the best possible chance. He certainty took a fancy to the air fence on the 1st and 2nd bend at Sheffield he got off the bike and hugged it quite a few times last season. God only knows how he walked away from most of those crashes unscathed.

Very impressive top 4, there is no denying that. But there will be a lot of pressure from that top 4 to perform in every meeting. They did the same last season and way back in 2004 they did it with a top 4 of Stancl, Parker, Grieves and Bentley. They did not win anything then and to be honest I cannot see them doing it again, but could it be third time lucky.

And according to Wolves promotion they did not re-sign Josh Bates because Kyle Howarth is moving to a Thursday night track in the Premier League. There are three Thursday night tracks in the Premier League, Ipswich, Redcar and Sheffield. Cannot be Ipswich have announced their 1 to 7 so that rules out Ipswich. If the information is correct then that would mean that Kyle is either going to Sheffield or Redcar.
-
That is correct and has been stated on numerous occasions on other threads. And the reason why the only Polish rider riding in the Premier League is Konopka who probably is here because he cannot get a ride in Poland.
-
The third heatleader needs to be someone who can score decent points at home, but they also need to have a decent away record. Unfortunately Bellego's away score were very poor last season on the whole. James Wright no thanks.
-
Just seen that, which would suggest that it would either be us or Redcar. That kind of blows the theory that Howarth is going to Somerset. Personally I would take Kyle at Sheffield in a heart beat.

Scunthorpe Scorpions 2016?
spin king replied to Paul Johnson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I was under the impression that it was a mutual consent, from both parties. -
Tardy.
-
My feelings exactly, he is on a 6.68 average, and if you look at his scores prior to his visa been revoked he was riding way above that standard, and I reckon he would put on at least a point on that average. That would leave us with 4.47 for the last rider, the French lad Berge would fit in nicely. A heatleader trio of Stead, Garrity and Proctor would be a match for any other trio.
-
Actually Rosen is not a bad call, but been Swedish I wonder whether or not he would consider a Thursday track or not as they ride 2nd tier speedway in Sweden on Thursday's.
-
To be fair to Pinny he has in the past been pretty clued up on his riders, but he has been out of the country for sometime now and I am not so sure how much British speedway he has seen. Yes Steady had a very bad injury last season, and he has suffered many injuries over his career, but I am absolutely certain that if he was not confident about keeping up the high standards he keeps he would not bother taking the team spot. The next two signings for me are two of the most important ones, personally I would have like to see the club get Ty Proctor back I think he would be more than capable of gaining the visa through the State Championships, but I can understand why the Promotion feel that they cannot wait to see if he does. To be honest I don't have clue which way the club will go regarding the next two signings, will be interesting to see though.

Possible Combo's Skidmore/ Berge Bellego/ Simon Lambert Howarth/ Berge Bellego/ Ellis or maybe Douglas/ Berge.

Scunthorpe Scorpions 2016?
spin king replied to Paul Johnson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Interesting about talk of the CAMber. But if you are going to have a CAMber, either Josh Auty or Ryan Douglas has to go. -
Very solid looking team that looks as though it could be hard to beat, especially at home. The only concern that I would have is Alden after more or less spending a full season away from the sport.
-
He had one in 2011 for Scunthorpe, don't think he qualifies.
-
Took time out to digest the move to bring back Richard Hall. And to be honest I am not too overly impressed. Yes I get the thought that Richard riding at reserve looks good on paper, but I saw him twice last season at Sheffield and I was not impressed I also have concerns about his Longtrack ambitions and commitments. But maybe he will surprise me and be a trump card and I will be the first to admit that I was wrong.
-
Another good signing by the Promotion bringing back Jason, very popular with the fans at Sheffield. Will be interesting to see who the club bring in for the rest of the team. I have notice that Dakota North has a Premier League average of 6.55 from 2013, not whether or not that average would stand. But if it did what about a side of the following; (1) Simon Stead (2) James Sarjeant (3) Jason Garrity (4) Josh Bates (5) Dakota North (6) Arthur Sissis (7) Nathan Greaves. Scrap that after asking SCB the Dakota North average does not stand,
-
Has he really. Care to show everyone where it says that he has. Don't get me wrong like nearly all of Sheffield fans I want to see Jason back at Sheffield but I think it is premature to say that he has already signed for Sheffield.

Tai Should Never Ride For Team Gb Again
spin king replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Calm down son, I hear that Tai has been spotted on a beach in Oz sporting a nice pair of Union Jack shorts. -
Cannot see Nick Morris st Ipswich unless either Swindon or Ipswich change their race night.
-
The way the team is shaping up and the way the Promotion are talking regards the team I think it is highly unlikely that he will be back, but you never know.
-
I think that Cookie has to make it that Rosco cannot ignore him, hopefully this coming season he will do just that. I would say at the moment he is in the top 4 Brits along with Tai, Bomber and Lambert, so deserves his chance in the WTC. Next year is massive for him, it will see how far he can really go.
-
I think that you will find that Josh Bates get a 2.5% reduction no his average should read 5.44.
