Dandelion Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 1. Josh Auty 2. Danny Ayres 3. Tero Aarnio 4. Thomas Jorgensen 5. Jake Allen 6. Simon Lambert 7. Jordan Palin It's so predictable it's funny... At least other clubs get the excitement of whether they'll run or not first... Makes it more interesting at least... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely teams should be build with a top four target at least if not to top the table. Scunny have a promoter in the inner circle and can basically start team building early as they know the points limit and rulings that will be voted through and still only aim at making the number up.

arnieg Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 You'll explode when I tell you about the 2019 Danish play-offs then. 6 teams in the league, and top 6 go thru to play-offs. Which Fjelsted, 5th in the regular season, won! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar situation to last year when he had a team agreed/pencilled in only for the VOTE of the promoters at the AGM agreed to a lower points level & we had to change riders around. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I would, also, think most teams will have 5 or more riders sorted ready to be finalized shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinsley was impressive this year, but wouldn't have him back with Jordan (had we not committed to Jordan, Ryan would have been my no 1 selection) and Stef I personally think has let us down a couple too many times this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Stefan has not let the Scorpions down but has been beset with injuries(again) & confidence. He is always there at the post meetings in the clubhouse & is honest. I truly believe he is a better rider than Simon, who performed well on his return, with it showing that the sport is a confidence thing, being in your head & on track. I do not think Simon will up his average but Stefan would improve his to around the 6 mark. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 You just have to look at what Steve Worrall has done these last few years. Racing on the technical track at Newcastle, he averages 9.1. He then comes to Scunthorpe & unfortunately has a bad break to his leg & on the open & more fairer open spaces of the EWR, averages 8.2. He then goes back to Newcastle & lowers his average again to 7.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
