That is a very good shout actually he was class round Scunny when he came with Leicester 

Probably helped by having a team mate called Ryan who knows the best set ups & racing lines around the EWR.

Just going off riders not riding for other teams & Rob trying to get riders that do well at the EWR then

Douglas     Allen     Jorgensen     Lambert     Mountain     Kennedy     Palin

or if 2 x RS

Douglas     Allen     Jorgensen     Lambert     Mountain/Kennedy     Gilkes     Palin

If 38/39 were the limits this year for 1 x RS then removing a reserve to fit 2 x RS in then limit could be 34 but I can not see where the riders are coming from for their(BSP L) 5 year plan. All the 3 & 4* riders might now have averages applied due to riding experience whereas the 1 & 2* riders, in 2021, have another year.

Not sure Gilkes will travel so far north - A few away points turn a good season into a belter though

Hope not that's miles under the limit 

2021 limit is 38+3 or 39+2, until 2022 team building rules are announced, all I can do is make predictions based on current regulations!

For some reason I think Jorgy will be at Redcar and if Elllis is staying with Sheffield I think we still have a chance of landing him

Ellis has signed for Daugavpils, so if hes presumably staying in top league, that would leave 1 more league, unless he’s signed up in Sweden or Denmark already…

Daugavpils are in Polish 2 Liga in 2022 so Adam Ellis is free to ride in 2 other leagues.

Plymouth named 5 riders & 3 are heat leaders with approx. 23.4 average. Bowtell signed as a RS? but has an approx. 5.2 average & Atkins a RS also? No B Barker!

If TJ is possibly Redcar bound then options for either Ellis or Barker, though Ellis preferred.

Yes… 2 other leagues, 1 will be the top league of UK, you’re just repeating me, if he gets a deal in Sweden or DK, he won’t be riding in Championship.

No team have mentioned rising stars for this season, will probably be rules in place to have brit at reserve, but have a feeling the rs system has been scrapped

Do the Polish count the French League? If so that could discount Ellis, unless they just count the major leagues?

I don't see what the big fuss is about Ellis,  I'd rather have someone who's fully committed to Scunthorpe and won't miss as many meetings 

He’s a quality rider who scores good points and gets fans in through the turnstiles!

Having said that, a top 2 of Douglas & Allen is more than good enough.

I’d rather see Ryan Douglas and Jake Allen than Adam Ellis

Would think the chance of Adam Ellis coming back to Scunthorpe is nil I would have thought judging by the posts on here, why would you want to ride for a club with so many negative posts against you, justified or not.

People make so many negative comments when Rob is a genuine guy who is working hard  to make a successful club. I think both parties in terms of Scunthorpe and Adam Ellis will be more than happy to part ways
