Fozzie4388 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 According to the Speedway GB site it's Scunthorpe Stags and Sheffield Tiger Cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as there will be an odd number of home fixtures who gets the larger slice? In reality one club is going to host two NDL fixtures which isn't really enough to generate much interest so i suspect the crowds will be woefully small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrageous, next you will be saying that at the end of the year the Chairman (along with anther powerful table member) will be saying that NDL is unviable at the end of season due to poor crowds.....just wait to the teams are announced and see how many NL graduates feature in each, a fact that is forgotten by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it, he’s only putting a team in to make up the numbers to keep the NDL going and obviously needed a helping push to do that, but at least that is doing something ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 He is not going to make a push for more youth racing then not put a team in given the racing opportunities at the EWR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree. He should be leading the way so I'm assuming he was one of those who were not keen to go down the development road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he’s leading the way… practice sessions ran virtually 3 weekends a month, amateur meetings regularly, track private hires with many youth/pre ndl riders using the track… this ventures a good move imo and hopefully it works out for both clubs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secsy1 Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Think a lot of people need to take a look at how many riders started their career at Scunthorpe, present and past. Opportunities always available for budding stars and plenty of time to hone skills at Amateur meetings or private hire. No mention at moment of potential riders, but the following riders could certainly do a job, albeit dependant on averages. 1.Luke Harrison 2.Jamie Halder 3.Sam McGurk 4.Elliot Kelly 5.Ace Pijper 6.Archie Freeman 7.Joe Alcock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this how they get away with half the losses/costs whereas other clubs fulfill the "mandatory" requirement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
