Sidney the robin Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) What a great looking side that looks and still a bit of scope to play with at the bottom end .For me a great chance to persevere with Josh Bailey maybe could fit Jacobs or Mountain in as welll be interesting to see who rides where cannot see Auty/Garrity being partnered together .😜 Edited November 23, 2017 by Sidney the robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 After having a sleep on it, it is nice to get a team sorted early & it looks good, very good, but is this due to the increase from 40 to 42.5. Comparing it to the Ipswich starting line up of 2017 is interesting S Worrall................D King J Garrity.................N Covatti J Auty....................R Schlein J Allen....................K Newman S Nielsen...............C Heeps The difference in 2 seasons is this year, with 7.54 to play with, going with 2 reserves of 4.5 & 3 hoping to gain a heat advantage in heat 2 & minimise last places with partner over Ipswich team with 2 x 2-pointers.

Although the Ipswich 2 pointers averaged 4.57(Hume) 4.51(Greaves) and 3.33(Mountain) so wouldve still been a match for the pair with higher starting figures... 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was based on the make up of teams at the start of the season. Depending on which reserves you choose in 2018, with us having 7.54 remaining, I would prefer riders of Hume(bargain at 2.00) & Aarnio rather than Perks & Bowtell. although Jacobs & Bailey could improve. Hume & Phillips should be on everyone's radar, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hume will surely be back at Ippo? Definitely hot property at the moment though. Phillips might be a little under the radar being out injured for so long and there are always question marks over a rider when making comebacks from nasty spills. Definitely think Jacobs & Bailey could be a very solid reserve pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Jacobs was looking for teams on Twitter only a couple of days ago, so unlikely to be him with Rob seemingly having a plan in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 just glanced through late delivery of SS & it seems like probably no Aarnio or Bailey. But then again, where's the "frog"? Probably a change in his thinking when other riders became available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looks like Mr Godfrey is really going for it. Will be interesting to see how the Scunthorpe speedway general public respond to big changes and what looks like a massive cash investment on a very exciting team so far. There are a lot of big characters and managing this team could be tough, and I think if they have one weakness it is the fact that some of key riders have been very injury prone and that could be their downfall. But they must be in with a better chance of been in the mix more than recent seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh1218 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Am I missing something here ,it was only 2 weeks ago fans from other sides were saying we won't run,Godfrey is in trouble etc,etc .Well if we're in trouble it ain't been a bad few days with a superb top 5 been named with only the reserves to be named and we're complete.Glad to see lakeside back in too ,good luck to our old riders in pastures new hope it doesn't rain on race days for some of them or some will pull a face and throw a paddy fit. Here's hoping we start well and more people come through the gate and repay robs investment bring on March and start time and smell that methanol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
