I checked updates & Roynon scored 0, 0, 1, 0 but gated a few times & passed but on pace/close to riders when behind.

Coles has been scoring the points asked of him & put in print by Rob Godfrey in heat 2 but not this last Sunday in the difficult no6 position.

It a tricky one because Connor has being doing all that can really be asked of him but with us having a lot points left in the team average a change was always likely and In my opinion if Roynon finds a bit of form he could certainly pile the points on at reserve

Laugh at me all you want, you might call him history etc but he can still score points in particular at reserve everyone’s so negative !

Remember first seeing him ride in the conference for cradly at Buxton some years ago and he went through the card I think.looked very impressive and was certainly one that I thought would progress,looked very stylish but he,s been so so unlucky with injuries and it's not nice to see him struggling for points.

Roynon was a class act shame he was so unlucky with so many bad injuries

Yeah, remember him as a 16 year old somewhat controversially being allowed his 3rd ride in heat15 at ashfield Vs Workington. The big surprise was that he was so close to getting a point. Thought he'd be a class but injuries been very cruel on him

I cant remember which bsn meeting it was but start of seas9n roynon said hes paying 3k for his engine tunes where as other lads are paying 6k and that was why there was a disparity between the heat leaders in the cl and the reserves and 2nd strings.

 

Its a fair comment. The 2nd strings in the cl who dont ride prem are very hit and miss and home strack bullies fir the most part.

Roynon, morris, clegg, lambert, wright et al

But theres definitely a market for this type of rider

Don’t go with that one I’m afraid.

Well, it is now Friday night & still no news from the Scunthorpe camp.

Has Roynon jumped the gun by saying something to the press that printed it on Wednesday?

Have the checks been made & ratified by the BSP Ltd?

Or have Scunthorpe changed their mind & waiting for a better/European rider to be available?

Just about! I wanted to stay at home and watch The BFG lol. 

The line he used was 'just go this once and if you don't like it you don't have to go again do you?' And here I am still attending.

Think promoters are missing a track not using that line on newcomers tbh! ;):D
