But what’s his plan come the end of June when his polish season restarts. As I imagine those bikes will be going back across and if does plan on staying longer the month then what’s the plan equipment wise there. It will give him time to get his own British bikes ready.

szkocjasid Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 From BSN post: Scunthorpe Scorpions Speedway boss Rob Godfrey has vowed “we can now win the league” after snapping up Drew Kemp. Is he putting too much pressure on Drew? Overestimating his teams ability? Just being positive (as any promoter should be)? Or is he correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Scorpions demolish the Bears tonight I would be inclined to agree with Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d agree not solely down to Drew however the team seem to be firing together now and are strong therefore should be near the sharp end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Good to see Conner Bailey starting to show his potential.Season away from Ashfield will help him IMO.Whether he will be back will be interesting.

A lot will depend on how much they drop the points limit by again. Diluting it constantly is short changing the public. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree,and not really saving money as sought after,the lower average rider can up their demand for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also get some of the “older” top men protecting their average over the season for Employment next season.IMO ( no names).It's becoming a bit of a joke sport.

Yearbyred Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Scunthorpe will definitely be up there, they will be very strong at home and it makes a difference when riders like Lambert (no disrespect) can totally dominate riders with much higher averages. Bit like Redcar they will also do well on certain away tracks but not sure they have the fire power to win it all. Poole still favourites for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Poole is the benchmark but I think the gap is closing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast1rn Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Very impressed with Drew Kemp and Nathan at Ashfield tonight, after both being left with no team at the start of 2023 they've both proved why they deserved a teamspot for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they both impressed me tonight. Drew looked more focused and Nathan held his own, having been miles off the pace on all previous visits.
