  1. rasmus jensen seems a good shout, rode somerset well, which is similar to our track, got good points at peterbro, edinbro,berwick,rye house
  2. how do you know they dont? i cant see them going away with bulging pockets just from point scoring, id expect them to be on a set "wage" and any points they earn is a bonus,
  3. i agree it should of all been posted on the australian thread, but seeing its not i posted on here
  4. says on updates it might be because they reduced the paid points from $40 to $25 ,nothing to do with scunny, just the qualifiers, maybe changed just before the meeting and he thought its not worth bothering?
  5. If we stay injury free then this can be a top 6 side,but we cant be slow starters like we normally are or we have to play catch up,this time we have an experienced number 6 and in carlos possibly the best in the league for me, then again we will always have a strong number 6 if he moves up, i believe zeberdee is next in line, possibly taylor and alex, This year there are question marks against most teams, will Edingurgh and Somerset be dominant now they have lost a guaranteed 10 to 12 points man? We never build sides with the likes of cookie, steady or barker etc so of course we will always be tipped to finish bottom 3,
  6. i think scunny sold williamson to workington or belle vue
  7. go on strictly? im a celebrity? question of sport?
  8. my crystal ball shows rory schelin and ben barker and chris harris
  9. Could we have a 10 min interval? once im in my place i stay there so i dont miss a race ,a couple in our group will go and fetch food or drink but its not really fair on them, just thought with us starting an hour earlier there isnt really that need to get finished, especially as there wont be stocks the next day
  10. Shows sportmanship i quess, i know he didnt show any, also i can't see tungate being a clubs number 1 anyway. I just thought it looked better than having all 14 out at once, people moaned because they couldnt tell who was who when rob announced them. Some ideas were discussed last season, one was an "all in price"... entry, programme and say pie peas and a drink for maybe £18? that way you know its a set price, go with £20 and still pay £1 for parking and a £1 for a raflle ticket....mentioning the raffle... what about either a 3rd draw for viewing heat 15 from the centre green or keep with 2 and winner also gets to watch heat 15 if wanted and the 2nd winner gets to pick the "scorps rider of the night" the rider who gets the most wins an award at the end of tear do.may entice more people to purchase one. Im not sure if many people know but Rob has had to invest in a new part of the air fence, its not come cheap, so i cant see more money being spent, anything that dosent cost i can see him adopting, ie the music being updated a friend of the club did a playlist and hoped Barry would take it,victory laps with flag given on bend 3,photo opportunities, crowd walktrough when we win,things that make the presentation enjoyable, I like the idea of making it cheaper for away fans if something can be put in place, i know more of us would go to away matches on sundays, dont know how much a small bus or minivan costs, the club could notify other clubs to say "expect so and so party this sunday" or get some sort of voucher before you go to show your a scunny supporter. This one is mainly for xmas but what about "bill and bens" track shop coming over in the winter amatuers to sell stuff for prezzies?,
  11. also if you get there early enough you can visit the pits and talk to them too,, not many tracks let you into there i like the idea of the no8, maybe if we have press and practice day have a photo opportunity then? if we dont continue with the riders on the "van parade" how about riders coming out in pairs on the bikes? with their opposite number, so josh comes out with say steady to joshs theme tune( sit down next to me by james?), i believe newcastle do this? seeing we dont do season tickets how about the chance to buy tickets in blocks of 5 or 10s,
  12. Just a quick straw poll .. which is the best way to go regarding the reserves?.... both 3 pointers similar to how edinburgh had last year, or to go with strong no6 as possible then a 3 pointer?
  13. 16.51 for final 3.... 2 announced tomorrow(thursday),dont forget all the clues so far meant nothing
  14. im hoping carlos wilkinson is set to be announced on scunnys site tomorrow too
  15. As mentioned on twitter,,, off to wilkos for the tree and to tescos for the baileys
  16. same here albert, around the time he did his knee in i think?
  17. nah, hes had it cut off, army rules ,might take awhile to grow back
