Woz01

Think he will get the two Elite Shield matches and maybe Bombers testimonial. Wont get much tougher than Poole so if he does score points then he'll stay, if he scores 0-2 I think a change would have to be made.

You have to be realistic the side on paper isn't great compared to some others. I'm more than willing to give it a chance though, it wouldn't be the first time fans have been wrong about a side.

Even more so considering is narrowed our options for the 2nd string role.

We certainly won't make the playoffs with the 1-7 as it is unless Woryna surprises and does a job. Big ask for a young lad in his first EL season. Dont think the reserves will be that bad, scope for improvement from both of them but obviously not the scoring power that we've had in previous years. Time for Sarj to step up I feel. Our top two is one of the strongest in the league so no issues there and Garrity will do well I feel. King will need to improve as a heatleader, his heatleader average last season was poor for a rider who has been a heatleader regularly. He does have it in him but doubtful we will see much of it as heatleader All in all not much hope of a playoff spot with this 1-7 but if/when it goes badly in the Shield meetings v Poole a change can be made before EL fixtures get started.

So back to the original question. The only suggestion riding in the EL these days is Garrity, honestly I can't think of another!

Wasn't comparing them to the Bees I was comparing it to what would look like a title winning side. No where near Belle Vue or Poole in my opinion unless the pull a major signing.

I dont rate this Swindon side at the moment, last signing crucial for them.

No one knows anything officially but it would be strange if they graded riders by PL average yet have riders in tier 2 with higher averages than some tier 1 riders. We could have easily protected Sarj in tier 2 and got last pick in tier 1 but for some reason the bspa seem secrecy is the best policy so we might not ever know.

On here and twitter, only speculation but seems like there is something in it.

Think Kerr was at the bottom end of the list in that case Sarj may have dropped to tier 2?. Like every else this year the draft was secretly done so who knows if its allowed or not. Or simply the tier's were based on PL averages so Bates was tier 1 and Sarj tier 2? Unlikely I know.

So apparently Lewis Kerr is joining the Bees. Who for i wonder?

It wasn't dwelling on the past, it was post that shows there was no Agent KK. If we dont refer to the past we will have hardly anything to talk about.

I'm only worried that an early change wont happen if its a disaster against your lot in the ES.

Beat me to it, KK obviously doesn't read Fords texts!

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Buczkowski was top of the Poole averages during the season.

Speedway rider would ride for another club shocker. Maybe Speedway Star made it up? 😉

I'm guessing there will be a pay on the gate option for the race off

Tickets now on sale. Got race off and final tickets standing for me and my daughter, £40 for both meetings excellent value. Grandstand tickets are pricy though.

You did an excellent job at keeping it all in! 👍

I get the feeling SteveBrum isnt a fan of KK

Zengota?? He's a 3rd heatleader tops!

Howarth was poor when he signed for the Bees towards the end of the season, even struggled against FTR riders.

Id prefer KK and Harris over Holder and Buzckowski/Andersen/Watt(?)! Same with Zagar and Cook although if Cook continues to ride like he did in the playoffs then you might have a point! King needs to improve his form as a 3rd heatleader, didnt do a great job in the role last year. I will say he has it in him to do the job though!

Depends on which KK we get. A 2010 on and we'll have the best top 2 in the EL. King and Woryna are the worry for me. The rest im fine with.

Add Zengota as a possibility. Zengota Batchelor North Walasek Wozniak Auty Starke Maybe Leicesters best bet? Depending on Swindon obviously
