lucifer sam Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Definitely would agree that it was Rye who handicapped by Guest riders. Spin King, that's speedway. We'll take the two points, thanks very much. Scorpions now back to parity - three points dropped at home, and three points gained away.

Shadders Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Definitely would agree that it was Rye who handicapped by Guest riders. Seems to be a theme running through some of the Scunthorpe fans that they make excuses for any shortfalls big or small. I'm not usually one who moans about missing riders costing us results. I was only countering the Scunny fans post about Ben Morley costing them the win. Speedway isn't football, so unfortunately we won't always have first dibs on our contracted foreign riders. Blimey, we can't even call on Edward when we're away and Lakeside are at home and he's an asset! I'm not surprised to see people turning against Silver snr. I acknowledge he's been great for the sport, but his stubbornness is losing what little support we have left. Sounded like a decent meeting though Edited May 10, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WTF1 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Speedway is always about "what if's") for Scunthorpe being without Ryan Douglas rather than David Howe is a far far bigger handicap and Perk's i'm sure would have scored more than Morley, it will be interesting when Douglas does return as Pijper, Auty , Wilkinson and Davies do not deserve to lose their places in team reshuffling.

Theo's been top notch this far; and is a really good technical rider; and safe; always looks for the right line and is in full control when he's out there. Wilko's been everything you would ask of him and Alex Davies will just go on getting better and better. Josh is non-negotiable; as Mr Excitement. In fact the team is actually doing what it said on the tin; producing some great action; albeit we have gone down three times at the EWR!. So this is a dilemma; I am 100% a David Howe supporter but the injury reoccurring is a concern; and we need him back and fit and as soon as possible. At this stage we have our ace to play with Ryan on his way; and then for sure this is a difficult decision. Nike is doing well; visiting tracks for the first time; and would be picking up more in my view if he was on better machinery?. Ellis has not really got into his stride; but he is a talent for sure. So do I not envy the Management making this call; but all the riders can do is keep doing their utmost and lets see where we are come the end of the month, But interesting times are ahead at Scunny for sure.

brylcream boy Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 It will be interesting to see what happens Flying Ryan comes back. I cannot see Theo, Wilko or Josh being left out, and Alex has started to find some good form. Against Edinburgh he was the best Scunny rider.

Obviously you missed the hidden meaning to this post which was i would rather Douglas replace Howe than any of the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Didn't Len announce that this would be his last season as a promoter? Both Swedes seem down on confidence and using 20 plus guests so far doesn't seem to be helping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
