Sidney the robin Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Second from bottom is over achieving?Over a period i meant?Arsenal overachieved last night then didn't they.What are you talking about.??? let's put it another way would you rather them break there budget and risk not having any speedway in the future.?There team this year Auty,Douglas,Kerr,Toft,Wallner,Wilko,and young Bailey are all racers not a gating tart between them.I am sure the Scunny fans will back me up on that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure on that statement Sidney. Everyone knows Auty can't gate but can entertain us around the boards while Bailey struggles if he doesn't gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows Auty can't gate but can entertain us around the boards while Bailey struggles if he doesn't gate Wallner looked a real entertainer when i see him Wilko is a whole hearted racer also Bailey his weakness is his gating. Whenever i have seen him he had to earn his points from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm not quite sure on that statement Sidney. Everyone knows Auty can't gate but can entertain us around the boards while Bailey struggles if he doesn't gate I'm sure he does at that level but he is a proper racer in the making, have seen him pull off some excellent passes in the NL.

lucifer sam Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 SCUNTHORPE SCORPIONS will unveil their new clubhouse – at the team’s press and practice. The grand opening will take place at 6pm on Friday, March 17th. Owner Rob Godfrey has always been keen to improve facilities at the track, and sees the clubhouse, which is situated on the first and second bends, as a huge step forward. “The clubhouse has been a big investment, but it will pay for itself”, he says. “If I’m honest, it’s one area where we had previously been lacking. But that’s not the case anymore, and we’ll make the most of the new opportunities that our new clubhouse provides. “There’s so much space inside, and will fit 200 people with comfort. “It means we have social functions at the track, both during the season and the winter months as well. “It also means we can entertain our hospitality guests better.” There’s been a huge amount of work to get the new building ready. “At one stage just before Christmas, I did wonder if we could get everything that I wanted to do this winter”, admits Godfrey. “But we’ve had a lot of help, and I’m so grateful for that. “It’s almost there. We’ve just had the pumps fitted for the bar. There’s just a little more work to do and then we’ll be there.” Godfrey plans to celebrate the official opening of the clubhouse in style. “We’ll cut the ribbon at 6pm on March 17th and we’ll toast the opening with champagne”, he explains. “And then, after that, we’ll have our Press & Practice. “For me, it feels like we’re entering a whole new era for the club. I can’t wait to get the season started.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Good on Scunthorpe improvement on and off the track is a risk but one i am sure will be rewarded if only more clubs had there own facilities then i feel the sport in general would be stronger. My own club have constantly had sarcastic comments thrown at us by some posters for having the vision to try and improve there product so I congratulate the Scunthorpe management for having the same vision.

mac101 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Scunny make great use of there track facility's all year round , there amateur meetings and practice day are always well attended and run like clockwork giving riders plenty track time and pretty sure Rob puts every penny back into the club to make it what it is today 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scunny2012 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 True if only the team were what the track deserved Having been through the laughing stock but happy years of the early seventies at Quibell Park this team that has been assembled this year might surprise many a team, Scunthorpe should be proud that they still have a track in the town and part of a 10 team league , i'm sure such defunct tracks such as Boston, Hull,Long Eaton, Ellesmere Port, Crewe, Canterbury, Exeter,Newport etc etc would give their right arm to have a team like this to support, win or lose Scunthorpe will no doubt serve up another year of excellent entertainment on the best race track in the league.
