Surely if he gets to ride a few matches, 3H & 3A or whatever, he will attain 'true' average. Apologies for calling anyone 'Shirley', hey it's a bank holiday.... A think it has something to do with 'migrant workers',,, and maybe what legibility they have on working here, when other 'British/home grown' workers are seeking employment.

Announce a team with no intention of running seems a touch worse dropping 7 riders before turning a wheel than one after a few meetings. From what I've seen going on at Derwent Park. Speedway had no chance of starting this season. As someone has already said they might not be the only team to go. Which is a massive pity. No one wants to see teams fold. So difficult to start new tracks now with noise issues and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Rob talking about bringing Jedd List back end of June and there being "few meetings" inbetween. Plus the start stop of the past month ?. How's this supposed to keep up momentum and interest in the Speedway season ? Remembering back to my time at Halifax and The Shay fixture card was jam packed with meetings ! We used to stage 30+ meetings per season with crowds regular up around 3-4 thousand on a Saturday. People fill the gap when there's no Speedway and it becomes habit to kick the habit ? Yes it does. More variation for your money and more value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I dont see how Scunthorpe can re-introduce Jedd list after they dropped him a few weeks ago, its not as if he was signed by someone else. Yes there`s the "in the best interests of the sport", whatever that means, and I suppose Scunthorpe can rely on the management committee to pull this round for them but IMO its just plain wrong and if its not against the rules than it should be.

Are you referring to rule 16.3.2.. A rider in a teams declared 1-7 at the end of the previous season and not included in that teams new seasons initial declaration may not be subsequently re-introduced into that team without the express permission of the Directors. Jedd wasn't in Scunnys 1-7 at the end of the previous season. Unless the rule reads wrong I can't see a problem. If the 'and not' actually read 'and if a rider' included in that new teams new seasons initial declaration..then that might be a different scenario. Unless theres another rule im not aware of??

In this case neither can I as Jedd's average remains unchanged. however you could have the scenario where you sign a rider on a (not assessed) average of 6.5. for whatever reason his average drops to 4.00. you the release him just before his new GS average kicks in and replace him with another 6.00 rider. Then one month later reintroduce him to your side by replacing a 4.00 rider with him. Tho and behold he averages 6.00 again and you've strengthened up without strengthening up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Garrity has a broken hand, do Scunthorpe make a double change? List/wilko and Ostergaard or S.Lambet and a foreign 7 pointer Andreas lyger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) This season is going same way as last season with injuries blighting us. Hope Jason heals quickly. On a positive note Danny Ayres has been a great signing and becoming a fans favourite-well done on his fine showing at Redcar.

IronScorpion Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I wouldn't bring in List even though posters have said he looks a tidy rider in 2nd halves, he has been slow(at Newcastle it was said he was 1 second a lap, probably as slow as Phillips), even though he had a good meeting at Sheffield, the opposition was not terribly high. Wilko again I would not bring in as he has not raced this year. Ostergaard proving he is on a downward spiral with his machinery poorly prepared. Aarnio would have been ideal but a week too late as has been snapped up by Birmingham. Could we go back to Lyager and is he still a 7 as foreign riders assessed averages have changed. Lambert or Coles could be a 2nd addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) A question for Scunthorpe fans. Who races there called Ed? The reason I ask is I was listening to the radio this morning, and there was a guy on the phone. When he did his "shout outs" he said hi to "everyone at Scunthorpe speedway, where I race". Then he requested a Busted track. Just wondered if anyone knows who it was. If anyone is curious and wants to listen, it was at about 5.55 this morning on Radio One.

lucifer sam Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 ROB GODFREY SAYS “THANK YOU” HEB Scunthorpe Scorpions’ owner Rob Godfrey wishes to thank all the fans and riders who continue to support the club. During a recent lull in home fixtures, the club took the opportunity to re-tarmac the stadium. Godfrey says: “I think it’s the right time to say a big thank you to everyone who supports us and brings money into our stadium. “That includes the home fans, the away fans, our sponsors, all the staff and volunteers, plus those riders who support both our practices and amateur meetings, which are a vital income stream for the club. “All the speedway income goes into the same pot, and we re-invest everything back into the stadium. “I’m very proud of the stadium that we’ve built up from nothing, and I hope our fans are too. I think it’s something that town of Scunthorpe can take genuine pride in. We’ve built up that stadium and we also plan to maintain it and keep it looking smart.” Scorpions are next at home when they entertain local rivals Sheffield Tigers at the Eddie Wright Raceway next Friday (June 21st). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
