IronScorpion Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I know it's early doors but season almost over for the Scorpions, defending Champions, always a tall order, but as others have posted early 2014 teams here is mine, Auty done well in EL & PL but just might benefit from extra rides in PL Howe got his knockers but, to me, is an awesome rider & a snip at 7.23 or thereabouts Klindt hope he stays with us as we gave him his chance to resurect his confidence Birks as Howe Scorpion thro' his veins & move to EL has served him well. Does not need to learn small tracks so stay with us. Jorgensen As above just cannot lose this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Douglas now showing the points scoring ability that Rob saw in him. Maybe behind Fricke but another snip in 2014 No 7 3 pointer soe of the above CMA's might drop & rise so 1 of the above might miss out but as Rob tried in 2013, continuity of the team is important, if the CMA's allow.

IronScorpion Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 [ Josh Auty 7.93 David Howe 7.23 Ashley Birks 6.98 Thomas Jorgenson 6.89 Ryan Douglas 3.79 Taken from BSPA site from 1/9 Auty 7.57 Howe 6.34 Klindt 7.07 Birks 7.16 Jorgy 6.28 Douglas 4.67 It was only the carry over of injuries & not hitting the peaks of tail end 2012 that but the doubts of what would happen in 2013, plus not realy knowing how our reserves would perform in 2013 that hampered our start in 2013 but this is a good base to start from in 2014. Auty ave has droped but we know what he can do Howe a snip if injuries have succumbed & upper body strength to improve Klindt gave him his chance to ressurect his confidence & his final CMA might be about 7.4 Birks done well with move up to EL & deserves second season in double up role Jorgy as like MPT rides with decent riders that can take points off him but can win important races. Another season a must. Douglas as i thought was decent in Aussie but could not keep up with the progress made by Fricke & others. Towards the last few weeks surpassed them and supporters expectations. Nailed on for reserve in 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffyscouse Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Assuming David Howe retires ! and Ash Birks is available - we could do worse than Klindt - he is a talent Auty Tommy the Gun Ash Birks AN Other An Other Flyin' Ryan Stefan Nielsen (who I believe is our asset and ludicrously shafted by Somerset) I have opinions on 4/5 but not for sharing For the record i'd have MK back tomoro (no surpise there then lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 If Scunny keep the 6 that finished the season, what points are left to replace Howe. Sorry in advance to David, but im not sure that you will be fit for the start of the season , or if you are planning on riding next year in the Premier League. If you are, then I wouldn't want to be picking the team, because nobody deserves to be left out in my opinion. The team that finished the season would have won the League if we had started with them in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC Rides Again Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Far too early for this thread. Will there be a Premier League as we know it now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 EC this thread is only for fun. We fans have to have something to talk about....the day fans stop talking speedway, they are no longer fans. Lets wait and see how many faithfulls will still be talking speedway after this extra long winter. ( due to our early finish to this season ) For me Josh is my 1st choice , I'd like to see Tommy the gun and Ash back.... Ryan come good in the end and deserves a place. I'd be happy with Blackbird too. I'm happy to wait and see who the other 2 will be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather the league stay as it is or are you open minded Scorpion? If the leagues changed would you be up for different sides visiting i personally would love to visit different tracks.

EC Rides Again Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Would you rather the league stay as it is or are you open minded Scorpion? If the leagues changed would you be up for different sides visiting i personally would love to visit different tracks. I'd love a twenty strong league. Nineteen proper home league fixtures, yes please. The main issue is the level of riders that would ride in the league as existing PL clubs cannot afford the likes of Zagar/Lindgren/Holder/Ward/Iversen et al. However a cursory glance at the Speedway Stars Top 20 Averages for the Elite League this year (yes, I know they are not "official") and you find a few Double Uppers such as Doyle and Cook. Add in Bomber/Nicholls/Danny King as out and out Number Ones and I think that a competitive League structure is possible with 18 to 20 teams. Remember that King's Lynn, Birmingham, Swindon and Lakeside were all in the PL in recent memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points EC without the odvious stars,is there a massive difference on a going day for most left in.Apart from a few improvers Kildemand it looks a very good product and league to me.
