Wonder if an extra panel could save a lot of injuries. Don’t know where Jack crashed yesterday but if it was same again it had to be worth a look Gilkes was first bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappy Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Massive shame for the lad and of course Ipswich. I hope he makes a full recovery. I can imagine Drew 'Kevin & Perry' it can't be just me that thinks with that hair style he looks like Kevin Kemp will replace him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some inexpensive changes that could improve things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything if they're willing to participate in a sport that has passed all health and safety checks. So, what would you change at Scunthorpe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did Kings Lynn replace their solid wooden fence with Armco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 It could be the wake up call that Drew needs to reignite his path to progress Initially being left out everywhere mustve been a bit of a shock Certainly not a shoe in that it will be him anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Having been told on how Jack's crash happened - it was an accident that would've happened on any other track in the country. As for Scunthorpe's fencing needing SCB inspections - we obviously have replaced our fence, which has already been SCB and FIM approved, while we will also have foam fences (similar to Berwick and Kings Lynn) coming in time for the season, in an attempt to make the track feel safer to ride on. It goes without saying though, I send my best wishes to Jack for a speedy and well recovery 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'd personally go for Kemp, if you compare his average as a number 6 3.15 (3.65) to Flint who rode as a RS 3.54 (4.25) it shows he's not far behind the man most agree should be the strongest "RS". He may also feel he has something to prove after being overlooked for a team spot in both leagues. There's no real risk with a rising star though, if you get your first pick wrong, just try another! It's never going to be a case of the averages not fitting! Edited March 5, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkins said on Thursday night on radio Suffolk he should be on a bike this week in Aussie before he’s over and then has plenty of practice in Poland before season plus they’ve got 2 or 3 planned practise days at Foxhall before the first meeting 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
