I got 6.23 too, Klindt we were told wasnt for us with Lasse Bjerre, as Scunthorpe Bullet says, not a lot left just on 6pts, David Bellego, Tofty, Cameron Heeps,Kasper Lykke,Leigh Lanham,Paul Starke,Rasmus Jensen, Just over 5pts you have..Eric Riss,(under wilko),Palovarra(under),James Sargeant(under),Gino Manzares(over but visa probs?),Anton Rosen(under ),Tero Aarnio(under,)Simon Lambert,Eric Grondal,Linus Eklof, Sam Simota,Matty Wethers(all under) and Rusty Harrison just over Wilko,There are loads at 4 pts and above but do we really go that low as we want the best reserve we can at 6. As of our 3pter ive heard good things about James Shanes.Liam Carr's been mentioned in a few teams. My pick is same as Bullets but with Bellego or Tofty in with Shanes as reserve,,,, both go very well around the EWR and should score well away at most tracks and i hear Shames a racer so our track should suit him -
hes currently doing national service in finland so i quess he has had it shaved off?

if you dont want david bellego can we have him at scunny please?

I thought he said its MR Godfrey to you? -
Been reading all the posts on here and from teams building. wanting the likes of Kenneth Bjerre, Peter Karllson,Scotty Nicholls and now Freddie Lindgren joining the premier league why not just have one big league? people must think their clubs could afford them otherwise they wouldnt suggest them.

We ran this season virtually with no Josh and no Ryan,lose one and you can maybe get away with it, lose 2 and your in trouble, getting those 2 back will be like 2 new signings. im hoping Zedenek is signing for a place in 2017, meaming he needs to learn all the away tracks, he is a class act with a good people in his corner, -
as in... he was no1 at berwick, if he came back to scunny he wouldnt be one

2 year visa? -
Asking too much money, fair play to him to be honest, he got to number one for berwick and quess he wants number one money even though he wouldnt of been number one for us, then i quess josh auty would of said he wants more money as he is a number one, i dont know if he was asking for more money or the same as he got at berwick?, shame really as thomas would of fetched some of those stay away fans that left when he and ash birks went.

Well we only have a couple of weeks to wait for most of the team, i dont think he would announce Ryan if he wasnt 100% sure.,he is building with strength in depth so a strong reserve at 6,Wilko?, are both greenwoods in the nl? thought only Dan was, also we tried Tom Perry a couple of years ago, he replaced Matty O but didnt fair any better, wasnt Tom a "rider of the future" a while back? im sure Rob heaped a load of praise on him once and said he tried to sign him ? Anyone know how the picks will be done?... would Holoub be riding abroad on a sunday, think it was mentioned before, or riding on a saturday like he has been this year? -

Paul Johnson replied to Paul Johnson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So Rob looked at Lasse Bjerre and Nicolai Klindt and Matty O is not in his plans,( Workington?)would/could the reserve be someone who has done laps at the ewr? im not clued up on who are the emerging star riders from the nl, id still plump for Bellego though -

Paul Johnson replied to Paul Johnson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
its who id like to see apart from matty, like you said i dont think scunny suits him unless he practices here all through the winter on different lines,my tip would be bellego, if klindt was the same rider when he broke the track record 2 years ago then id have him back.also as eric said, would zdeneek miss too many meetings?by the looks of it we will still have a strong no6, start with carlos, zedenek when he gets a new average and maybe alex again or the newbie, happy days -

No Thomas so now assuming.......Josh, Ryan,Carlos,Alex,Zedenek, most lilely Matty as hes an asset, who is the last piece of the jigsaw?, if ive worked averages right we should have just over 6 to play with, so brings in the likes of Mellgren,Klindt,Bellego,Tofty -
Says in the sheffield 2016 thread that adam ellis would be in the main team on 4.55 as he has a pl average,

Holoub cant be on a 3 average after his 4 home and aways? even he went to a 5 he would still be a reserve. sorry not to see Thomas as he would of fetched the stay away fans back from this year but i can understand he probably wants paying No1 noney. i too would like a team with a "big" no1.. cookie, stead, king,barker etc but i cant see us getting their likes if we cant afford thomas. so me for Josh will be no1 josh alex carlos ryan zebedee leigh adam ellis and i can see carlos, alex, leigh, possibly zeb swopping reserve places hence building a team to strength Home one week and away the next would be cheaper for the fans as you should in theory have 2 meets a month instead of 4, and it lets the training schools and amateurs to run. As pointed out fridays suited some more than the others but the motorway closures made it difficult for travelling fans, home and away as they couldnt get in time after leaving work, sundays were good in the old days but was that because we were competitive? But i know that all the people who championed a sunday better turn up, no excuses like "well its was a hot day so we went to cleethorpes" I am one of those shift workers and could only get everyother friday so already rob has increased my visits 100%? -
