You have often said that you are not a supporter of Scunthorpe & going by your other posts on threads, NOT a supporter of speedway. Why bother? Because i used to love it and still do enjoy it on occasion, theres certain riders i still enjoy watching but i dont really care who wins or loses anymore but i do think if you are in it try and put the best team you can together… alternative riders in and around his average Anders Rowe Jack Thomas Dan Thompson Drew Kemp Kasper Andersen All younger and have potential to increase and make Scunny stronger and thats just riders in the league!! Was any effort made to find an exciting foreigner Jonas Kundsen Kenyon Rew Tate Nitscke all look like there riding over here next year Edited December 2, 2022 by phillipsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then I wanted crashes and spills . Fast forward 50 yrs and sadly losing my Dad in March this year I’m still going to my local track which is now Scunthorpe and follow them up and down the country this season. the last two meetings away to Redcar and then onto Berwick 24 hrs later as a single driver because it’s a sport I love and if we don’t support it we will lose it . Look at the uncertainty at Mildenhall now. we might lose another great club . When I worked in London approx 5 yrs ago I visited Swindon , Ipswich ,Rye House and Poole from my London Digs , Look at that small list and we have lost 50 % of them teams so what I’m trying to say is it’s fine been a supporter on a forum but if we don’t get numbers up we will lose Speedway on mass . I’m not a lover of individual meetings but love the team aspect of Speedway so let’s not knock our sport and get to your local tracks more regularly And this is the problem… why attend when theres very little VFM? Its not the fans fault those clubs have shut… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If naming names, try doing a bit of homework, Zischke is his surname & I was warned off by a Poole poster saying he was Poole bound probably with Rew now he is at Ipswich so sorting the correct visa to ride in 2 leagues. Kundsen is Knudsen & after being there this year & doing well was almost certain to stay. If not, Glasgow would have took him after doing the paperwork to bring him over.

Maybe they do… were they even asked or was the first choice Lambert… you asked for names i gave some (apart from some bad spelling apologies for the dyslexia) but you knew the point that was being made but decided to be a d**k instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As regards asking for names, you & many others just spout on here wrong choice/we need to make a change throughout a season but not give names & answers to their questions.

Now theres other arguments to factor in but the point remains! what you do is accept the mediocre then when people do suggest alternatives criticise them for doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
