Ryan555 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Having seen the ‘Scunthorpe Stags 2024’ page on British speedway i am a certainly surprised. Will it maybe be a some kind of second half thing all clubs have to do in place of the national league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 A very strong rumour Scunthorpe will be in the PL 2024 . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toft, Douglas and Lambert staying would be a decent start to be fair. Could that be where Harris is off if they do move up, I really don't see him at Lynn the way that the track has been so slick over the last few years. Throw in Steve Worrall would leave about 10 points for a no1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Sorry if I have missed it, but does Jordan Palin feature at the EWR (or anywhere else for that matter)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I did predict a few weeks back on a couple of threads that either Ford or Godfrey would fall on their swords as Management Committee Members so protect the Discovery deal and ensure a 6 team PL if Brummies couldn't. To much derision from South Coast I may add. Scunny it seems have obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ended up at Lynn he'd be a big success and enjoy every moment IMO. Edited November 9, 2023 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumper Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Very unexpected if true. Would definitely be a huge gamble but one I will support. Its a shame in some respects as Scunny starting to establish ourselves as one of the top championship sides and was really hoping for a crack at the league title next year. I guess nothing is certain until its announced but definitely interesting times ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ended up at Lynn he'd be a big success and enjoy every moment IMO. Haven't been there since Mads K's testimonial so I'm probably way off, just based on the moaning on here that the racing isn't what it was! Scunthorpe feels a better fit for the type of rider he is, in my mind. If I was Godfrey then he'd be top of the list if I'm moving up along with Douglas.

hackneyrocket Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Having seen Rye House close after the decision to move up to the Premier, I hope Scunthorpe don’t make the same mistake. I have no idea of the cost difference between the two leagues but surely points money must be more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) On our attendances, not a chance of us racing Monday ,Wednesday or Thursday. First and foremost Rob is a business man and must see it as mistake moving up a league. The only positive is we get a local derby back against the Sheffield Tigers.

It's not, but its because its too grippy and has far too much clay in it. But stocks rule unfortunately. Bomber will be a great signing wherever he goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
