Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018


Recommended Posts

The whole Ged situation stinks, how come someone from a senior position makes a mistake and gets away with it? Still awaiting the punishment for Rob, I sense that will be brushed under the carpet

 

Who says he has got away with it, upcoming hearing to attend and explain/receive punishment

 

But despite all that the only corrupt action was to knowingly break rules for a financial gain and that person decided his actions all by himself!

Excellent team! Theres a genuine number 1 who will win races everywhere plus 3 riders behind him who are all heat leaders. Add Stefan who is at home at the EWR and Manzares who is certainly better than a reserve and theres lots of scoring potential throughout the team. Plus all that on a Friday night when the racing has repeatedly been better than a Sunday teatime.

Where is it proved that anyone from a senior position made a mistake,as far i recall the statement read there was no such evidence?

 

and may i ask if there is any reason you deleted your orginal post describing some one as corrupt?

Not if the conversation can be confirmed in any way ( by a recording or a witness for example ) and If it is clear that Godfrey was speaking in his exalted Official Capacity. Fact and fantasy then all get mixed up. I suspect that IF there is case to be proven Godfrey will be punished by the SCB. And quite correctly too.

Everyone knows I'm not Godfrey's biggest fan but i'd like to congratulate him on building a very decent playoff challenging side this year. I wish them all the best for the new season, Hopefully it'll bring the crowds back.

 

It's a shame Young Jenkins is only doing NL this year as he would of been an ideal candidate for the Number 7 role. Can't think of many others that would fit the number 7 role perhaps Jack Thomas from Kent then there's Tom Brennan although he lives a long way from Scunthorpe, Also David Wallinger (Not as strong as Thomas or Brennan) as I know Scunthorpe used him a few time last years or Taylor Hampshire with the top 6 Scunny have built at least they'll be no pressure on whoever does take then number 7 Jacket

 

Hopefully for Scunthorpe a hidden Gem can pop up during the winter months at the EWR.

Now it depends on what riders turn up for the winter series. Some riders will already have been snapped up by the time a decision will be made. Riders that were there last year includes JPB, Kinsley, Hampshire to name a few.

By choosing a number 7 this way they may not get the strongest as hell be snapped up. But theyll definitely get one willing to ride for the Scorpions and he will have plenty of EWR laps to hit the ground running.

Edinburgh done the same thing when they signed bewley and look how good he got, it can work at times Edited by BenR195
