It will be a blooming miracle ! Gotta disagree with you, if they wanted a rider, why not sign him now instead of April / May? Can't see any of the riders dropping their averages by much to allow the team to strengthen either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would be available at the end of April 2022 when the first(new) CMA green sheet averages are out? I've made similar comments, someone says they don't want Crump, so I say who would you prefer, they reply with "a 6 point rider who will average 7.5" (but don't name names). It's easy to be negative about a signing, but far harder to suggest a stronger alternative! Edited December 16, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Palin is a good trapper, & should up his average next season. You only need another rider to improve, & you have a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Can't see them losing at home very often it's a good side around scunny but can see it been woeful away . So will be pretty similar to 2021. Think there was only Leicester won there and they had a team full of riders who excell at scunny including Ryan Douglas who was fantastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a lot can change/happen but there are already 5 very strong sides shaping up and others (except Brum) building for home wins so something has to give.

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Good signing in Tero. Fans don't travel in numbers away from Home these days. All about Home form to keep the fans happy and if you're strong at Home then the fans will keep returning every week. Tero averages over 9 at Home so it's a no brainer. Should nick a play-off place as well if your Home form is good. Scunny should pick up a couple of wins on the road at Newcastle and Birmingham as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would an even poorer scunthorpe team than last year beat a much stronger newcastle team than last year when they couldnt even manage it last year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake and Ryan to complete the side and injury free we will do ok , Rob builds his side on home wins and see we’re it takes us from there and also sides in the past have been built way above what the promotion can pay and have caused monetary problems , Rob doesn’t do that let’s get the two Aussies named and roll on April 2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldtimerRay Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Bit negative on here regarding Scunny signings or to quote Dad’s Army (we’re all doomed), if it is Allen and Douglas the last 2 signings Scunny have the makings of a decent team, you just never know in speedway what will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 So the Promotion are happy trying to win all the home matches? For me, I want a competitive team that fancies its chances at every track in the country! Two heat leaders fine. Two 2nd strings passed their sell by date and will not improve. A 17 year old who has done extremely well ,but will now be under great pressure in the main team. A reserve who basically has hardly ridden for two seasons and another reserve who again is expected to shine from the off. I am underwhelmed and it seems plenty of other Scorpion fans feel the same whilst chewing the fat with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
