I would still love Alfie Bowtell last year Rob said he on the radar and to be fair the back end of the season he was putting in big scores for his average It will be in both the Speedway Star and Scunthorpe Telegraph first thing in the morning. And then the Scunny website will be updated as well. Edited November 21, 2018 by lucifer sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jordan being a good mate of mine, we chat about his racing, as much as he would love a full season of championship racing, he's not ready to commit to a full season this coming year with O-level (or some form of big test) exams mid June.

beaky11 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 So the final rider is Ryan Kingsley, happy to have him in the side but now I’m really confused as to why we couldn’t fit Steve Worrall in as we are a whole point under the limit looks a a good team though bring on 2019!!

Well because Scunthorpe wanted the other 3 more?! Pretty obvious to me? If it was a 42.5 limit you would of had all of them in the team but couldn’t fit them all in with the 38 limit.

beaky11 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Read this article then! it says he wanted them all but couldn’t so told Jason he was free to speak to other clubs but then couldn’t fit Steve into the team so asked Jason if he wanted to come back. That’s what doesn’t make sense to me! https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/other-sport/scunthorpe-scorpions-now-one-rider-2240975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Maybe Rob didnt take the reductions into account,? with Stevie in comes to 38.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costly mistake. and what makes you think that we let him go? has it ever occured that the lad didnt want to return to Scunthorpe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costly mistake. if a team builds within its Budget to remain in profit and viable then id hardly say it is costly mistake more like sensible Plus,despite Steve being a fine rider i was never convinced how comfortable he was on the track at Scunny,maybe his awfull early season crash had alot to do with that Good luck to him where ever he ends up,the North West id guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 The team did well enough without Steve, I would much rather watch Jason round the ewr anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 1 hour ago, BLACKHEART said: I just read the article. Godfrey said he couldn't fit Steve Worrall in so he asked Jason Garrity to return. 0.92 left over so he could fit Steve Worrall in. Something doesn't add up somewhere. Cant beat a good conspiracy theory, you should try the Glasgow Thread thats a soap opera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Well I'm sure we'll manage fine without Stevie. It was the 3 Js that kept our team alive, They all rode their guts out for us for 3 and a half months whilst S tevie was out injured. I wouldn't have wanted any of those lads to be moving elsewhere. We have held on to those so lets see how we go. Changes can be made! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Coming back after a bad injury it was clear to see Steve was not 100% committed going into the first bend . The number of times he backed out was not the No1 we expected to dominate, you could never say that about Jason. We can now get back to a race track to suit our riders ,with more shale and an outside line early doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Maybe he couldn’t fit Worrall into the budget. Nothing to do with averages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
