spin king Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Scunny will be making a change this week. My guess is that they will be replacing Matt Williamson. Maybe James Sarjeant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) My guess is that they will be replacing Matt Williamson. Maybe James Sarjeant. Unlikely to be that change if the rest of what rob said had also been posted Change to be made next week for anders as cannot wait for him to be fit but if he proves his fitness later on will try to get him in the team The change will push Josh up into the Number 1 position Thomas will be dropping to reserve Matt is not being replaced and "will come good" and only needs to "score 3 Pts" as we will always have a good rider at reserve So looks like the replacemet is someone around the 7pt mark Nicolai Klindt now he has left swindon or are there some other riders now around that mark from the elite league with the new averages?? (most of birmingham probably fit now!!) edit for terrible use of the english language!!!

screm Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 With Roynon becoming available there`s bound to be promoters looking at their team and thinking about making a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wondered by changing back to the Friday night slot,that will surely suit the Scunny lads alot more.Certainly Auty will enjoy it,will the promotion be able to keep the grip on the track alot longer making the entertainment value even better.And by all accounts this year there has been some great action as usual are SKY visiting this year?I hope so in my opinion the BRITISH FINAL should be at this venue or Sheffield/Somerset fed up with with Wolverhampton getting it every year.

EC Rides Again Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looks likely to be either Klindt or Roynon. I'd take Klindt. If we could get Thorsell we'd clean up the league easily. However, I'd think his Swedish commitments would intervene. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwayfan555 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 New signing announced tomorrow in Scunthorpe Telegraph. Who's everyone thinking it'll be? My guess would be Klindt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 NICOLAI Klindt is likely to return to the Eddie Wright Raceway this month to cover for the injured Anders Mellgren. Mellgren, who is recovering in Sweden from a fractured back, is likely to be out for a few more weeks so Scunthorpe Scorpions promoter Rob Godfrey has moved to sign Klindt on a 28 day contract to cover for the injured Swede. Godfrey was due to speak to Klindt today but was confident the deal would be completed. Klindt joined the Scorpions in July last year to cover for Ashley Birks and if he arrives it will see a shuffle in riding order for Scunthorpe's home match with Edinburgh on Easter Monday. Klindt would come in on an average of 6.98 and would be likely to be at number three with Josh Auty moving to number one, Ryan Douglas coming in at number five and Thomas Jorgensen dropping down to reserve. Godfrey had originally wanted to sign Adam Roynon, who has recently been released from Sheffield, but when that was not an option he turned to Klindt. Godfrey said: "I thought Adam would have jumped at the chance for another ride but it wasn't to be but I am 99 per cent certain Nicolai will join us. "If you look at the scores from rider replacement at number one it is around seven or eight and we know Nicolai can get us those points. "There is no question he can turn our season around. He is maybe not the best passer but he can make lightning starts." Godfrey felt a signing had to made with nine meetings coming up in May, which will include six away, in what is sure to be a pivotal month. He hopes signing Klindt on a 28 day deal will give Mellgren the necessary time to recover from his injuries with news on his injury continuing to be positive. Godfrey said: "It is quite unbelievable that Anders is in this position because we thought he was going to be out for the season. "We have got a lot of meetings in May so we are trying to do something now. "We are staying positive and having Nicolai for 28 days is the perfect scenario for us as it will give Anders time to recover. "However, we don't want to rush Anders. We want to make sure he is 100 per cent ready before returning but his determination is unbelievable." If Klindt signs it will not be in time for tomorrow's match with Edinburgh so Theo Pijper has been booked as a guest to cover for Mellgren at number one while Workington's Mason Campton will fill in at reserve in place of Jorgensen who is competing in the Danish Championship. Godfrey believes the team is not far away from hitting top form with each rider, with the exception of Matt Williamson, top scoring in at least one meeting so far. He feels there will be one meeting not too far away where all his riders will hit top form at the same time but insists all the riders will have to be at the top of their game to overcome an Edinburgh side who are unbeaten home and away. "Edinburgh is going to be a massively tough meeting as they are the form team at the moment. It will be our toughest meeting of the season so far this season," Godfrey said. "They are at full strength while we are not and they will be full on confidence so for me they are the team to beat. "We are not far away from where I want to be and we are just lacking that consistency especially in the number one position. Rider replacement has been doing us a job at home but the guests have not performed away. "Five points from three matches is not a bad record so we have to keep it going but I think one team soon is going to be unlucky. "All our riders have top scored individually but they haven’t done it at the same time. When they do that one team will get a hammering."

luluthetiger Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Klindt AND Jorgensen! Better lay in a big supply of starting tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I rated Klindt last time; though he does have the knack of jumping out the start and winning by miles or missing out and trailing in last. Either way he will be good for his average that's for sure and add some stability to the ranks. Always seems to have good equipment and already knows the ropes at the EWR so its a great move for us in my view. Thing is that the reshuffle on the new averages;and the arrival of Klindt maintains our strength. We still have a powerful rider at reserve in Thomas and that was always the deal with the way the team was set up. Robs 100% right to make a switch now; May is an important month. I was surprised that Adam Roynon lost his ride with Tigers and not surprised that we were interested in him. Not sure what's happening with Adam as his twitter page seems to indicate selling his gear or is that just his Tigers race suit?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC Rides Again Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looks likely to be either Klindt or Roynon. I'd take Klindt. From Rob's quotes it looked like Adam was first choice. Will he end up at Rye House ? I think it's the natural fit. Pretty pleased to get Klindt. At PL level he'll win a lot of races but is always liable to throw in a zero at least once a meeting. If he gets 3303 each outing he's doing a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Decision time for scunny, with Mellgren scoring a max in a Swedish division 1 match, although it was a against Swedish youngsters it shows he is fit to ride. With no word on whether Klindt will be extending his 28 day contract it could be a straight swop, but I hope not Klindt would be a massive loss. Scunny could also bring Mellgren in for either Auty or Birks but I doubt this would happen. To me Scunny look a good team but not league winners I think we need a bit more firepower away from home.
