lucifer sam Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does anyone know when P&P day is this year I will verify, but I don't think there is one. The riders all have opportunites to practice at the EWR, while the photos will be taken prior to the opening meeting. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friddy75 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Can anyone confirm if Douglas is here yet and if not, will he be over for Scunthorpes first meeting later this month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy666 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If Ryan doesn't get back how do we get a replacement .Could MPT come in as a reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If Ryan doesn't get back how do we get a replacement .Could MPT come in as a reserve. No. Belle Vue already have 2 double-uppers in their 1-5 so he'd have to sacrifice his EL spot. Rob said in the speedway start that he is 2 days behind Jason Doyle in the application process, and when Doyle knows that he can ride for Leicester they will notify Scunthorpe which should tell Scunthorpe whether Ryan can ride or not. But Rob expects him to ride on the 30th. I sincerely hope he does come over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Joey Ringwood got refused a visa because he didn't have an average greater than 5, if Douglas gets a visa he can count himself lucky on his 5.03 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC Rides Again Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Huge sigh of relief heard all over North Lincolnshire. Sounds like he may miss the opener on Sunday, but the Scorpions should still have enough to see off Sheffield.

eric i Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 With Anders Mellgren out for some time, Scunny are looking for a replacement anyone got any suggestions? maybe Seb Alden, Nicolai Klindt or Magnus Karlsson. They could wait until the first greensheet averages but don't they come out on the 1st of may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) With Anders Mellgren out for some time, Scunny are looking for a replacement anyone got any suggestions? maybe Seb Alden, Nicolai Klindt or Magnus Karlsson. They could wait until the first greensheet averages but don't they come out on the 1st of may. You only have 7.44 to get another rider in so no Magnus Karlsson, You could try and tempt Tully out of his year break but I'm not sure about that one,Dakota North or you could try and get Jacob Thorsell's converted EL average reducted so he can fit. Does anyone think that Nicklas Porsing would ever ride the PL because he would be a bargain on a 5.85 average (converted from his EL average) or would he get an assessed 7.00? Edit:Also heard somewhere that Ty Proctor's average will drop after 5 meetings into the season to below Oliver Allens average( Acording to someone called Garry May ) Edited April 10, 2014 by DIAMONDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 SCUNTHORPE Scorpions promoter Rob Godfrey said he could hold off on signing a new number one if Anders Mellgren continues to show his remarkable rate of recovery. Mellgren, who fractured his back against Redcar at the start of the month, has shown a rapid recovery and posted a picture on Twitter this week of him practicing on a bike. Godfrey believes he could only be only three or four weeks away from returning to the side but admitted he has a big decision to make whether to sign a temporary replacement or not. He said: "We will sit down and have a look at it but it is a huge gamble whichever way we go. "Sometimes you have to take a chance and if he is only three of four weeks away I would rather wait for him. "Anders is actually sitting on a bike and seems to be having no ill effects from the crash and it is unbelievable that he could be back so soon. It is looking more and more positive. "That will give a huge boost to everybody. If you look at the matches since we lost him and we haven't done well at number one. "When Anders comes back he will score points and if we had had him we would have won our matches more easily." With Mellgren missing for this weekend's trio of matches Godfrey has moved quickly to secure guests with Leigh Lanham coming in for tonights away trip to Ipswich while Somerset's Pontus Aspgren will fill in away at Rye House on Saturday. The Scorpions will continue with rider replacement at home to Plymouth on Sunday. Godfrey said: "Both Leigh and Pontus are specialists on those tracks but I think we have enough strength at home to continue with rider replacement. "Having a good reserve such as Ryan Douglas means we can carry off rider replacement at home. "If it scores eight or nine points, which is aroud what Anders would get then that is a good return so I think it is the way to go." Despite the Scorpions facing three matches in four days this weekend Godfrey believes the team will be able to cope with the tough schedule and hopes to get early points on the board as the Premier League campaign begins in earnest. Scunthorpe already boast two points from their opening Premier League fixture against Somerset and Godfrey is hoping to pick up a couple of away points before the home meeting on Sunday. He said: "It thought it would be tough having so many matches in a short space of time but we should be OK. "There are only two on the trot so we will be fine as long as there are no dramas and if there are we will have good riders on stand by. "We want to get some points on the board and the team know they can do it. "We have got two good guests and have done well at both Ipswich and Rye House in the past so I would expect points from both meetings. "Against Newcastle on Sunday we were beaten by the referee and I have told the riders just to keep riding like they are." Godfrey believes his team are improving all the time and will have to be at their best as there are still plenty of good teams to visit the Eddie Wright Raceway this season. Despite that he is mindful that the team has thrown away healthy leads in each of their home meetings this season but believes that when they switch to Friday night meetings at the start of next month the team will be able to hold their leads better with confidence in the team growing all the time. He said: "On a Friday night we can make the grip last longer but for some reason the mentality is totally different on Sunday than Friday but we expected this would happen. "Thomas Jorgensen, Josh Auty and Ashley Birks are all getting better but I think David howe is the one that has surprised us all. "However there is still a lot more to come from this team. "I still believe we are going to win the league. "In speedway it is not how you start but how you finish the season and I think we are getting stronger all the time."
