So Lakeside has signed Mikkel Bech, got used to a small track at Plymouth so that should help him. Very good signing on just over a 5 average IMO in a weaker league.

Zengi has signed for cov then, pleased for him as he's a dedicated rider. Hope to see him back as a robin in the future.

So it would appear that our promotion were not told that their offer for Bjerre had been rejected until it came out in the pboro press....just goes to show how professional certain clubs are..... Feel so sorry for Hans, Bjerre & Batch....they are the ones caught in the middle of all this.

What clubs? We all know that Pboro were trying to sell him to Coventry but I haven't read anywhere that a contract was offered

But Hans has also said that he feels Pboro's offer was a token gesture & they've made no real attempt to keep him. If he doesn't end up back at Pboro & they are so far refusing Swindon permission then he has no employment. Therefore they are preventing him from joining another club & earning a living in the UK.

No, end of the day Pboro can only use one more rider in the top 20, either Hans or Bjerre - the other will not have a job therefore is available - Swindon clearly want this resolved as do the riders but the delay is becoming a farce. End of the day it's the riders who are being messed about by one club, they say they won't prevent their riders from earning a living when clearly this isn't the case.

Calling their bluff I think.

Crumpy has announced his retirement today!

No, with Hans & Batch it total 36.05 which only leaves 6.45. Not enough for Doyle.

Haha, Poole stronger than Swindon, not a chnance, 3 x 4 point riders in that side. Same mistake as this year. Our top 5 will score points all over the shop. I think Gomolski will be a strong reserve as well.

Kennett confirmed then, now for Hans & Batch.

Saw that, think it was a joke. I guess we'll find out tomrw.

It was on the back of the adver yesterday BuzzCagney. Said that the deal is all but done.

I guess we'll just have to see. If it isn't Kennett it's got to he either Hans or batch back!

Andy Warren (adver reporter) has tweeted more good news for the robins tomrw. Guessing that'll be Kennett signed.

I know what you are saying but they've obviously gone a different route this year. If we have a strong top 5 in think we'll be okay. I do think Gomolski will be a good reserve! Once all the other teams are in can we really only say whether our reserves look weak or not.

I don't understand why people are slating the riders what we've signed so far. No doubt I'll look at last years posts & it'll be the same folk....rosco & patch know what they're doing as it proved this season. No doubt people moaned about Hans, batch & Doyley signings last year. Patch said in the star last week that it will be difficult to sign reserves this year as the there aren't many 4-4.5 riders out there. We've already 2 dup riders so I think it makes sense to sign a rider like Gomolski who has the potential to up his average & will be at reserve all year!

It is true...in tomrws adver, interview with rosco & Gomolski The averages as as follows: Killer - 6.98 Morris - 5.78 Gomolski - 3.9 Birks - 3.27 (Andy Warren confirmed that on twitter last week) Totals - 19.93 I don't think we are weak at reserve, think Gomolski is an astute signing. Already rode most of the uk tracks!

Kacper Gomolski has signed for swindon, confirmed by Andy warren on twitter. Good signing I think on a 3.9 ish average. With killer, Morris, Gomolski & Birks signed it leaves 22 points for 3 riders! I've worked out we have 22.46 left, that could fit Hans, batch & magic. Not a bad top 5 that.

Patch & Rosco have said they will only use 2 riders who can double up which we now have in Morris & Birks. Unless Doyley & North go full time Elite I don't expect to see them in our side. We could only use 1 more anyway.

You're right, he did have a brilliant season but by all account he'll be back at Somerset which is where Morris is rumoured to be going. To have two riders missing on the same day would be diasterous. Going to places like Peterborough, Coventry & lakeside with two key riders missing wouldn't work!

The signing has also ridden in the uk. My guess is either Harris or North!

That's a decent 6 there thecoomdog....would you get Lampart back as the 7th rider??? Surely worth a consideration now. New rider announced tomrw, I asked Andy warren on twitter weather the signing tomrw was part of last season or seasons previous. Said no....wonder who that will be.

Mikkel Bech is a 5 apparently. How they've worked that out I've no idea!

Without a doubt noggin. I'd have both in my side anyway but with the rules as thy are now both surely have to be used. Magic - 6.13 & Zengi - 5.57!
