Scunthorpe Scorpions 2016?


Recommended Posts

I know they used to call them 'vulture races' where the reserves raced off before meetings but picking over the bones of Plymouth so quickly is a bit in poor taste IMO.

I'm sure the riders would like to find employment as soon as possible, the promoters have cut their own throats and, unless they're seriously loaded, it's too late for the supporters to do much about it so, brutal as it may sound, the rest of the speedway world has to stagger on.

Youd of thought theyd have one with Davies and Douglas in the side?

 

Also leave it out, regarding picking at plymouths team so soon! The same happens when any team goes bang, surely youd rather riders get fixed up sooner rather than later?

As it stands Plymouths fixtures are still in place and avenues still being explored and whilst the situation may well prove hopeless I still think picking over the riders within minutes of the announcement is rather crass.

New signing revealed here:

Good Lad is Ashley and glad to see him signed up and back. From not looking to have a ride in 2016, he is now named as Wolverhampton's Reserve Tier 2 (No. 9?), a Scorpion and at Cradley. Pleased things have turned round for him.

 

Not sure whether Holub has 1 or 2 more meetings before he gets a Match Average (guess it's another 2 as his ride in Heat 3 at the EoES wouldn't count), but pleased the management have acted now with further changes to follow when Holub is off his Assessed 7.00. How different it may have been if Taylor Poole hadn't retired.
