New era Panthers Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 If I didn't like something I'd hardly be encouraging the manager of the team I support to do the same. I am sure you wouldn't be complaining about it, if the circumstances had happened with your team , it's just that nobody expected a 3 point reserve to up his average so much. The lad has been brilliant and fully deserves to be. in the top 5. And as for him previously averaging over 4 for Somerset and then being given a 3 point starting average that is not a fault of Panthers management , just an astute decision to sign him by Ged Rathbone.

In that case, you should be forced to track another British three pointer at 7. If Ged Rathbone is as astute as you claim, he'll have no bother finding another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brylcream boy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Whats the betting Wilko re sits his 11 plus cant get time off and Watt comes in?? Arse, judging by your previous posts, he will be sitting next to you. Just remember to get to the exam in good time, and do not forget to bring a crayon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Just driven passed the track on the way to work and saw 2 Council "for sale " boards right next to the track... 1 just before the roundabout and the other near the entrance... im guessing the land would be adjoinging the track? but looks like its the track.from where they are positioned...

Lewis Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 isnt that 39.4 team average Come on Rob, spend those 3 pts and get us a proper #1, would change the whole balance of the team... imagine facing some of the teams who are tracking 43-44 pt averages with our present team!

eric i Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I see in speedway star that Godfrey has bought a new club house, while I appreciate his investment in facilities I can't understand why there isn't enough money for a number one rider. Two very tough home matches coming up against a strengthened Ipswich team and then Glasgow, I wouldn't be surprised to see Scunthorpe lose both these matches with the current team.

hunch Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Maybe the issue isn't a lack of funds but a lack of available number ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point but last year the promotion were threatening closure due to the crowd levels not being high enough. This year I see the team struggling badly at home and the crowd starting to drop, with the likelihood of further home defeats I would have thought the promotion would be more concerned with surviving the season than investing in future facilities.

brylcream boy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Although I do not go, I understand the Banger Racing is well attended. Perhaps a bigger clubhouse may attract more fans of that sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 In simple terms, a club house should make you money and a number one rider will cost you money. A number 1 should make money also when fans are dwindling because of poor results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Extra income during Stockcar meetings too, don't forget. Been to Arena Essex for stock cars/bangers. The crowds during the summer are huge, far outnumbering speedway attendances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanF Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I would have thought it was very positive news. If he is investing in infrastructure it suggests he is in it for the long haul. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
