  1. Jack i think Gavan could of been on something when he made that comment,Loram had a great career and would be in my top 10 riders ever for excitement.Also he did very well to win the world Title in a tough era, a mega achievement but then the GP system was flawed saying that everyone knew the rules before the series began.
  2. Kilb used to count 123 and go i think? no he did his research on the refs and he was gone the best gater i have ever seen along with Mauger.
  3. Wouldn't that be great SCB if those riders you named rode in this country, great stuff it won't ever happen though the GP series rules the roost along with Sweden/Poland i am even surprised Holder/Ward do the EL to be honest.
  4. My Six thing's i would liked changed. 1./go back to the old touch the tapes rule( add to the drama) 2. One Brit in the 1/5. 3.One draft English rider only at reserve ( he would more and likely change in the order with the other Brit in the top five??) 4. No double points ride. 5. Have a league season top of the league team WINS the league Brum did that the other year with a top four play/off scenario and a FA cup basis system drawn out of a hat. 6. riders in second / third place in BP positions to be rewarded a little money wise? the art of team riding is dying out of the sport. waiting to be SHOT down.!!
  5. I would love it if that happened add to the drama, today some races seem to take forever to start.
  6. There was that one time where the late great John Berry was mentioned to totally revamp british speedway i am convinced he would of done a great job.Now major change in this country will never happen ,not in my lifetime anyway would maybe communicating with the speedway public getting there views and ideas be a start.?
  7. He was our asset we could of based our team around him for a number of years i know he had that year when he missed a few fixtures because of the u 21s.Such a shame a quality lad and a quality rider he will go on and have a fine career.
  8. But you can still reflect on how you lost the support the loyal supporter over the years the stupid rules have played a massive part.
  9. If Swindon were in the same position i would be willing to pay 20 pound a week rather than 17 i am sure others would do as well.I know it does not solve the problem but new supporters are not going to appear out of the woodwork overnight.I also have no idea what the answer is,back to Scunny would they consider EL ?i don't know what the sky money is would that capital help.I know they would need a couple of riders to be competitive more exspense but fingers crossed Scunny survive it would be a disaster if we lost them.
  10. I like that idea but i would like to see draft riders put into the top five to see if they can mix it with the big boys.I know certain riders will be out of there depth also that gives a second string maybe down on confidence a month at reserve.Howarth has cut it as a top five rider all the riders i named are capable of being top five riders also.
  11. A shame i think there should be a rule that each club has to have a Brit in the top five.(ie Garrity, Howarth,Auty,Barker,Worrall, Newman ok some will only turn out as bread/Butter riders but the EL need those types of riders.
  12. We see that with having two brilliant assets in Doyley and Magic and not using them speedway is all about the short term one of the thing's i dislike about speedway.
  13. Wright is no mug slowly getting better has not had much track time at the Abbey and Rose will improve he showed that on better aquipment last time.Coventry's reserves might be better, but i would take Swindon's top five over the Bees top five all day long.Bit of a bold statement but i still don't think this Coventry side will win the league.
  14. If you were a betting man how many do you think Darcy will score? under 10? i think he will score nine or 10 from five his natural ability will carry him through.
  15. Ward, Krcmar,Batchelor,Morris,Zengi,Wright,Rose how can anyone really dispute the side now is alot stronger.This side would of cruised to the play/offs without bother,Rossiter like he has always done has made the decision in the best interests of Swindon Speedway.
  16. In the sun a pint on the side,catching up watching me Polish/swedish racing this is the life sod crappy England the country has gone to the dogs.Ward coming with the exciting Czech should turn our fortunes around i now have some hope in us getting points away from home.
  17. How he won that race god knows Dave, he hated Exeter his record there was dire thanks he won alot of races by not being Quick track craft helped him alot.
  18. I thought Rossiter was employed by the Robins? as an employee his job is to to do the best he can for the club for me i would of done exactly the same.
  19. He Hans has gone,never be a GP rider again,but i won't forget what a great rider he has been for the club also he has produced great guest booking's for the Robins and he is welcome anytime.
  20. Will all those riders named score double figures? i doubt it one of the reasons i didn't want Hans back he won't certainly away from home.
  21. If Ward scores ten plus which he will it wont matter.
  22. I think the Czech has real ability surprised he is riding EL this year.
  23. How good City PL riders? What do you think.
  24. But in Ward once dialled in we have a big hitter he will score i believe straight away good bikes good team around him and his natural ability.Ward /Batch/Nick god that is thirty points plus on a good day Batchelor will up his game and do well also eventually.
