Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020


Recommended Posts

I'm still hoping for two changes....  this one, I believe strengthens us at reserve.... then another for Jake's replacement.   I doubt that'll happen though, too much of a rider shortage. Can see us going very understrength.

Benji Compton maybe? If it's a reserve... seen hes done a few practise sessions recently so must be on the comeback... or jake knight maybe?

Benji Compton is only really a 4 point man in my opinion so it would leave us a little weak

I believe the 2 Scots clubs might not come to the table due to there own covid rules been different to the rest of the clubs 

Also the other rider every one is refusing to name will be Josh McDonald a good rider

Yeah just josh Macdonald is not really the same calibre of who is replacing but yeah if we can’t go up to the points limit he’s a solid rider

For me it was always a flick of a coin for one of the available Aussies. Not least because of their increased track time in the past year or so. Josh MacDonald was unlucky to be cut loose by Pirates so its a great opportunity for him. Had made progress at Sheffield in 2019 so has the track knowledge already. 

On a 4 point averages means Lambo steps up into the main body of the team. Six and two threes though because JP & JMac should be amongst the points at reserve. Meaning that they and Lambo become interchangeable ? 

Auty, Lambert, Tommy, Pijper, Aarnio, Jordy and JMac it is then ? No No1 there on the face of it. Auty should have it tapped round Scunny but up against sides with two No1s its going to be tough going away. Still everyones been out for nigh on 18 months so no one really knows how well any of the riders will fair when they return to regular league racing. 

2021 is at least a summer of some Speedway and win lose or draw lets be thankful for that. Just watching how we get on is going to be really interesting and especially having a true rising star in Jordan Palin in his senior league racing debut season adds that bit extra to the anticipation. Reminds me of when Kenny Carter made the step up in his first season for the Dukes ! If hes half as good we will have a rider.

Weren’t they on about Benji Compton ? Though I do think Mason Campton is a better option all very confusing ! Would help if they just announced it ! 

I think there holding on incase a higher ranked rider becomes available ,to me Pyper and Lambert will be at risk as McDonald will increase his 4pt starting average

Yeah I do agree Macdonald should hit the ground running with it being his second year having learnt the tracks
