As long as we don’t get that bad no1 I’m hopeful we will be decent at home with how well Tero, Tommy and Josh go around the Eddie Wright along with young Jordan Palin at reserve which as long as we aren’t disastrous at home I don’t mind too much about on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, with the "2nd strings" & good reserves we have then in heats when we are not against oppositions no's 1 & 5, there is no reason why we can not pick up some 4-2's & 3-3's & keep it close(or, hopefully, at home ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 On Monday night Lee Ashby who has been doing a great series of Lockdown interviews with Speedway greats including Darcy Ward; Bruce Penhall; Greg Hancock, Chris Holder, Joe Screen et al. Will be chatting to New Zealands Bradley Wilson Dean !. Might be interesting what he has to say about doing the UK season in 2021 ? With options now almost down to zero if he does say he is making the trip then his destination might well be the EWR ? Tune in on Lee's You Tube Channel to find out ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With options now almost down to zero if he does say he is making the trip then his destination might well be the EWR ? Tune in on Lee's You Tube Channel to find out ? Surely there is no way that Bradley's last average of 8.75 can be squeezed into the Scunthorpe team? Yes I know he's been injured and what have you, but Scunthorpe currently have 7.74 remaining for their final rider. And I don't care who Rob is, not even he can scrape together enough rules to minus a full 1.01 point from Bradley's last average, can he? Either more changes need to be made to accommodate him, OR yous need to be looking elsewhere, and I'd suggest with Redcar's struggle to sign riders such as Lasse Bjerre, Tim Sorensen and Victor Palovaara with no success, it ain't gonna be easy/means that Scunthorpe will be well under the limit. I suggest a Zaine Kennedy or a Josh MacDonald is much more realistic. Wonder if Theo can temp young Roman Hummel back onto the shale? Looked quite the prospect for Berwick when he rode for them...

Dandelion Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Josh Auty © 7.42 Simon Lambert 5.03 Tero Aarnio 6.85 Theo Pijper 5.49 Thomas Jorgensen 6.47 Josh MacDonald 4.00 Jordan Palin * Total: 35.26 Would like to see a rabbit pulled out the hat.

Bradley's last average is 8.21, because the conversion rate changed from 1.6 to 1.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
