  1. I think there is a few Scunthorpe fans voting with there feet ,why should they pay extra for a match the don’t want to see ie the NDL fixture after the Bandits v Scorpions . Poor promoting I think
  2. Why discuss pounds for point on here ,surely a rider will only sign if it’s beneficial to him .All this guessing is beyond me I would reckon before travelling a bike for this level will be 5 grand with all the gear minimum , so he earns £20 a point and will usually score a maximum of 4 points equals £80 nah I’m not having that . Plus why should supporters want to know what there earning that is between the rider and there paymaster Scunthorpe speedway
  3. The team changes we’re made as there wasn’t a suitable straight swap available on Zaine average after the reduction of 25%
  4. Officially Scunthorpe Speedway haven’t released any statement on changes as they will have to be approved by the Hierarchy at the BSPA , if the changes are correct I think there were needed but very harsh on Joe Thompson. The team was set up to have an experienced reserve Zaine and Joe to do what he could at reserve .The guest for Zaine With 25% off would have been approx 3.3 and Joe at reserve and I think because we ride Friday as do a few other teams then the choice of guest would be very limited and this new approach allows Connor to go to reserve and if everything goes as planned I can see the reserve spot but occupied by Connor , Max and Lambo in the future months . Joe will not be without a team long I can see a move to Birmingham or a couple of more sides . To keep young brits involved I believe that they should inherit a bigger percentage off there average’s to keep more Brits in our leagues .Opinions aside I wish Joe all the best in the future
  5. Any team news for tomorrow as I can’t find out the guest so assuming a couple of new signings ???
  6. As of tonight the guest for Zaine Kennedy reduces to 75% of his average ,by my sums that means a guest for Zaine has to have an average of 3.3 Or there could be two changes for Zaine and one other rider
  7. I think there will be a new rider announced tomorrow ready for the Speedway star and Fridays home fixture
  8. Zaine has broken his back and Scunthorpe we’re granted a 28 day facility to replace him , this has now been withdrawn so from the 5 th of May this will cease and the Scorpions will have to re declare there 1 to 7 new line up and have it approved by the BSPA committee members
  9. Scunthorpe will not have the facility extended as a 28 day facility is all that was granted , so there will be a new rider or possibly 2 riders after Scunthorpe’s two away midweek meetings at Plymouth and Birmingham. If Zaine had his injury in Britain he would have been able to have the guest ruling . But as Plymouth abused this last season by letting Eddie Kennett ride less than a lap in a home meeting and then having a guest all season for him the rule book was tightened up .
  10. Correct they did Steve Worrall broke his Tibula and Fibula in a home meeting against Redcar that is why Scunthorpe were allowed a facility
  11. Scunthorpe will not have the facility extended as a 28 day facility is all that was granted , so there will be a new rider or possibly 2 riders after Scunthorpe’s two away midweek meetings at Plymouth and Birmingham. If Zaine had his injury in Britain he would have been able to have the guest ruling . But as Plymouth abused this last season by letting Eddie Kennett ride less than a lap in a home meeting and then having a guest all season for him the rule book was tightened up . Rob Godfrey is the Chairman of the BSPA but he alone doesn’t make the rules ,so Scunthorpe have to abide by the rule book and find a replacement after Wednesdays meeting at Birmingham
  12. No facility for a replacement for Zaine as that finishes midweek
  13. The Scorpions were good value and deserved the bonus point , as for Jake shedding a chain ? Sorry he was brought off by Connor Mountain on bend 1 . I follow Scunthorpe and one word to describe Charles Wrights performance last night. * Sensational
  14. Travelling from Hull so if there is any weather updates would you keep us informed thank you
  15. Remember last season he rode for the Scorpions at Redcar on the Friday were we painfully let a big lead go and onto a defeat . Then the following night he guested against us for Berwick and scored a full maximum for Berwick .Only speedway fans can understand this ruling ,as I explained to my workmates they could not get there head around this ruling ??
