If Leicester go down, that also has to mean Sheffield up as they both have the same management teams.

http://www.swindonrobins.co/_mobile/news.php?extend.3184.1 You do realise it's was genuine clutch failures, with many shattered brand new clutch plates for the poor performances. Rosco treats fans like mugs once again. I used to have so much respect for Rosco but in the last couple of years since taking on the promoter role, he's become like the ordinary, out dated, wool over the eyes type owner this sport is already way to over crowded with. Swindon, Great Britain and the British Speedway fans in general needs the old honest Rosco. This "standard" promoter stance he has right now doesn't sit well with me and no Swindon fan is falling for it either.

I'm totally not bothered, Flange is a try hard, he makes me laugh anyway.

New averages are out and Toft remains at reserve.

You're gonna get it now

Maybe, maybe not but one thing for certain is I fully expect something to go wrong for us. Winning the top league has always been a bit of a bogey for this club. There is some kind of voodoo over us.

The most radical thing that needs to happen is to move Ipswich, Peterborough, Glasgow and Sheffield to the top division. 1 big league will shut clubs down at a more rapid rate than today. I'm giving this thread a wide birth now because the 1 big league seems to be the saviour to the sport with no real means of how behind it, so no more needs to be discussed.

But people are missing the point. Even if team building was unlimited, when you factor in injuries and retirements things start to get messy. It's ok saying employ NL rider's but when ends don't meet for them and they have to quit (which many do) then there's an extra problem for clubs, in both the 1 big league and the NL. Then also you'll have the problem of clubs miles behind in the league table going out of business because fans won't justify paying for it when things are going so badly. Then we're shrinking the sport in this country even further, creating a less viable product. I think we have to find a solution for 3 leagues. Bring at least another few clubs up from the Championship. The Premiership needs to run with a minimum of 10 teams. The wages at 2 paticular Championship clubs must be just as high as some pay in the Premiership. Ipswich and Glasgow spring to mind. For the top league also, I think the Bates are looking and/or being asked to swap Leicester for Sheffield. The latter being more financially stable. It's ok just knocking teams up, or saying teams can only jave 1 or 2 over 8 etc etc but some rider's will or won't ride for certain clubs. There are far to many risk factors currently to push 1 big league. May be, and it's a little more out their, that every Premiership club has to have a tie in with a Championship club and they have to share 3 rider's per team. Any injuries has to come from the tie in club first. Something like that anyway.

I await with baited breath to see 18 teams built to 40-45 averages and see how many rider's are left over, or teams that can't even make up the average at all.

But the world was our oyster then when we had the luxury of any rider in the World. Now it's difficult to get anybody to commit to British Speedway. So yes, one big league is TOTALLY unworkable once rider's start to get injured.

You are one horrendous troll

Correct, and I agree from the neutral point of view. So how come the Stars rider's struggled early on in the meeting saying the track was way slicker than normal. Aces fans saying Monday was one of the worst meeting of the season. Coincidentally the track was different on a Play-Off night hey. It was total nonsense that the track was a little greasy because of cold conditions, the track was altered for home advantage which almost paid off. So, if King's Lynn produce an ultra grippy surface to try and win the meeting by heat 9 it's swings and roundabouts. In the Play-Offs, doesn't matter which club, which track, which rider's, the end goal is winning. Doesn't matter how bad the racing is to promoters because finals bring punters in regardless. What I'm not saying though is I agree with that but at the same time I understand why promoters 9/10 times choose that route of theory. All about the winning not the racing at this stage in the season.

Absolutely nothing but some Aces fans got their knickers in a twist about the Stars potentially changing track conditions at home for a more home advantage. The Aces changed their track conditions and a bit of practice too so a little bit of hypocrisy

Current track provides awful racing so if they can reconfigure the track all the better for club and league as a whole.

Agree, and if we can have Sheffield, Ipswich, Peterborough and Glasgow come up, Leicester drop down, all the better.

Making mistakes are very relevant to the discussion. When you start removing the duplication the list is smaller. If it goes 1 big league it has to be 6 man teams, 42 team average, and the No6 can't be an average under 4. This would force teams to go strength in depth and a lot more competitive.

Lewis Rose listed twice and he also has retired. That's another 2 off the list Edit Claus Vissing and Lewis Kerr also listed twice. That's now 4 gone Edit 2 Not likely to see Pieszczek again and definitely not Vaculik in the UK 2019 so they too need to be counted out. Edit 3 Nicolaj Busk Jakobsen is on twice

http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.3181 See Rosco is having a little pop at the lack of support. Putting the blame firmly on the supporters for next year's team already. Unfortunately Alun, this is a pointless meeting for fans to justify passing over their hard earned. As for the last meeting at the current Abbey Stadium, many believe that this could be the last ever Robins home meeting. A little bit of gratitude towards your supporters rather than slagging them off may have gone a little further.

Compared to what is on offer at King's Lynn every week, last night would have been the best meeting of the season to Stars fans that don't have access to TV meetings. Even though there has been far better meetings for Belle Vue fans, you are very spoilt and lucky with what you have on offer every week.

All depends on what happens in the 1st leg of the final as to whether the admission price is worth it. If King's Lynn get beat by 25+ in the 1st leg, it wouldn't matter what the price is, people won't go. Keep the score within 10 and many may feel the admission prices are irrelevant. Seeing the first ever time the Stars win the top flight league title is worth far more than money.

If we make the final (It's never a forgone conclusion) it would depend on the result in the first leg away from home. We've recently been heavily thrashed at Poole and Somerset. If they're charging £20+ the place will be empty for the 2nd leg.

Correct

you're having a laugh. Allitt was just trying to split it all up.
