Yes I knew Scunny would lose this but the final score line is a total embarrassment, Ryan Douglas v the rest, even at this early stage Jake Allen is a worry.

Wishful thinking on Scunthorpe’s part

I do, always cash when out, probably most speedway supporters do as let’s face it most supporters are geriatrics avoiding the old folks home including me

If weather is favourable hope to be there.

To be honest this is probably the year when Kinsley if he has ambition in the sport has to show improvement, let’s hope so.

Very pleased with the team announced, can’t wait for next year, Happy Christmas everyone !

No it’s the Jenga show lol

Didn’t think that Cook was in Scunny’s plans, although he seems to have rode for everyone else, hope it’s Allen and Douglas in the final 2 places.

This team could surprise one or two folk, on paper it looks ordinary but you never know ,so long as there is good racing i’m not bothered, anyway it could be worse we could have signed Danny Phillips.

Bit negative on here regarding Scunny signings or to quote Dad’s Army (we’re all doomed), if it is Allen and Douglas the last 2 signings Scunny have the makings of a decent team, you just never know in speedway what will happen.

Done my shift on away tracks in the 70’s/80’s, can’t be arsed with all the travelling now, besides why would I want to when Scunny just down the road serves up such good racing. Forgot to say Dan, yes you have a sad life lol.

Having got to an age where I am not bothered anymore going to away matches, I think Aarnio will be a decent signing as he rides the Scunny track well even if his away form is a little suspect, after all we kept Auty for home matches as his away form was generally piss poor.

Aarnio going to Scarborough Fair by Simon (Lambert) and Garfunkel.

Whatever the team I will be there, even if we don’t have a Leicester City football club moment again as we did in 2012 , the racing is more important than trophies, at least we are not a laughing stock as in the 70’s, Up the Scorpions !

Don’t get too excited as it will be Simon Lambert next.

To be honest would prefer Ryan Douglas than Steve Worrall.

On the one hand yes but team spirit is a major part of winning trophies so having riders that want to race together helps.

From what I have heard on the grapevine and I could be wrong (er indoors always says I am ) Ryan Douglas is not a great fan ,perhaps why he never came back to Scunny after his year out, of Josh Auty so it is either one or the other

This team will do for me, i’m just grateful that Scunthorpe have a speedway team, from the poor teams of the 1970’s till now 50 years on Scunthorpe with one of the best RACING tracks are still here with many other tracks having closed down along the way. Rob Godfrey gets a lot of slagging off on this forum but without him I doubt there would be any speedway in the town, long may it continue whoever rides.

Danny Phillips at Scunny, got really embarrassing how bad he was.

I’m more of a Rachel Riley fan

Just read the first few words of your post, thought Douglas had signed, then I read the rest, oh well we live in hope.

i’ll Just rephrase that, hoping to sign Douglas, Allen and Palin

Douglas, Allen and Palin, and I believe Lambert is already signed, the rest No Thanks, Morris, Kinsley and Auty been there , don’t want to go there again.

My mistake, Aarnio is twice as good as Auty, he can ride 2 tracks !
