Way over Redcar's average now. We've only got 6.6 to play with

How do you get to that 6.6 figure?

It is more like 7.45 for your last rider (7.64 for a Brit) if you are retaining the same team as last year

Mat t? Mathieu tressarieu?

Please no rene Bach. Bad enough tero riding for the scorpions...

David Bellego FAR too good for the championship

Could do a lot worse than Rene Bach, however doubt he would do another season in the uk, as fo r Tero , whenever I have seen him racing he always give 100% and a nice chap.

I know... About both of them... That's the problem though. Scunthorpe = my least favourite team by a country mile. Rene and Tero = two of my favourite riders, both on and off the track. Now do you see what I'm saying? :D In all seriousness, I wish the two riders themselves and Scunthorpe a successful 2021... Hopefully.

I've put your nomination in to be in charge of agreeing final team submissions -  Bears would love 7.45 to play with  :t:

Jesus that woman has got me going round the twist; why the hell is she posting about what Redcar have left on the Scunthorpe thread...

My fault I suppose I should have read further back in the thread  but a mean... Honestly... its a Scunny thread...

Saying that I had found another small error on my Scunthorpe team so hey ho...

Oh and yes I fully agree REDCAR do have 6.60 left...

Back to the Scunthorpe team anyone? ffs I am ready to give up...

What's wrong with Tero Aarnio, I'd be happy to have him in my team!

NOTHING... I LOVE Tero, he shares half my nationality... :D It's the Scorpions bit I don't like... ;)

Someone suggested Bach could go to Redcar and I simply said we don't have that space

Mighty quiet in these parts lately despite the excirment that we might actually have some Speedway this summer.

With most 1-7s declared !  Options to cover Jakes absence are really diminished ? We need a 7pt rider all things equal but longer this drags on less likely thats going to happen ? 

Accepting we are probably not going to rip this league apart in 2021 ? Would there be any harm just saying sod it and get Aussie Zaine Kennedy on loan from the Tiggers ? Ok hes on a 4pt average but he can easy add two points to that ! Knows the tracks; would be based here all season and unlike UK based riders has actually been "turning circles" these past weeks as opposed to UK and EU riders sat around twiddling thumbs for 18 months ! 

I would be fine with that; ok puts Lambo back up at 2. But reckon it would not be long before ZK was pushing top 5 ! 

I reckon those teams with 1-2 Aussies have the advantage. Circa Flyin Ryan who looks to me like he will pretty much smash the Championship to bits this season at Leicester. ! Infact hes just the sort of rider we are looking for ! and is our asset ! 

Come on Management lets sort this out.

Kennedy is on a 4 point average for a reason and to bring him in to replace Jake would be folly. We would be woefully weak and the potential to loose every week at home would bring no benefit to the club.

having said that I don't have a clue who could replace Jake

There is nobody out there to replace Jake and score what he would have done at home or away. There are 3 clubs in for that sort of rider, think all 3 clubs may have to run a few points under the limit.

I'd still personally make 3 changes, not that I can see Rob doing that.. personally, i just cant wait to be back on the terraces with me mates, and got a plymouth/poole away holiday in mind too, even though we're gunna get smashed

Whatever team we end up with... i'm anticipating a change or two to our original line up...  we might get smashed at Poole... but Plymouth... if that happens we must be crap...
