  1. I could get my digeragoo out and wave it at the team.
  2. Weather now bright dry and sunny so it is shorts and tea shirts tonight rather than thermals.
  3. Add the two statements together as after a rubbish start from the gate even if the Swindon rider caught the opposition it was almost impossible to overtake them because of the shape of the track unless the Leicester rider made a mistake.
  4. Swindon do it all the time, if you look on their website you will see how people get a refund for tickets purchased on line for last weeks rained off meeting, no doubt other clubs, including BV, do the same. I was watching last night but tend not to listen to the garbage put out by the presenters.
  5. Weather update We have had no rain this morning and the threat of rain this afternoon and this evening has disappeared from the forecast.
  6. This is what people can not see. If hundreds of thousands cancelled sky they would either reduce their charges or pack up in the uk. People have power, do not complain, USE IT.
  7. Not much as the track will need time to settle down after the work being done on it now, and with more unsettled weather due which will not help.
  8. They are still not telling anyone about the BV - Poole meeting on 27th which is likely not to happen. I wonder if they are selling tickets for it and more importantly is anyone buying them?
  9. Just seen the line up and Charles Wright is riding despite dislocating his shoulder last night, putting it back and riding. Good on him and it is a good job this is not football other wise he would have needed 6 months off. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2657
  10. Slim and if any looks like the odd light shower, just like the opposition.
  11. Following a not very good performance last night, although a couple of the riders were rusty and the track was crap, the robins need to show tonight what they can do. If they continue to be slow out of the gate Wolves may win, but I am hoping we get a win but would not be surprised if Wolves got within 6 points. If they are slow out of the gate at least the riders can overtake on our track, something that was very difficult to do last night on that micky mouse one.
  12. It is all relative they are all younger than the OAP Rosco Is this word on the street from the same people who always claim they know what is going on each year and can name the team before Rosco has spoken to and signed them. I heard a few talking utter rubbish at practice about the new stadium build program.
  13. Not a good meeting tonight, nearly got the 1 point but the Robins need to get out of the gate. They may have changed the track but it is still rubbish with first to bend 1 usually won the race, very processional and virtually no overtaking, the size of the crowd even though it was only £10 showed what the locals think of it. Swindon need to get a bit of practice in tomorrow before Wolves visit.
  14. Exactly and along with other issues mentioned it is almost impossible for the bspa to do anything about it. The only possible action that could be taken is the club where the periscoping is taking place could ask the person doing it to stop or they could chuck them out of and ban them from that stadium only.
  15. Even over 18 the club who took and distributed it might be open to legal action.
  16. The bspa have a plan for 2017? you are optimistic .
  17. I stated if he carries on like he did the other day, I did wonder if the hook would catch any. Info for any Swindon fans who are not able to go tonight, The Railway in Newport St is likely to be showing the meeting as they can show multiple sports and no doubt a few will want to see 20 blokes kicking a ball about.
  18. Football violence is a criminal offence where a court can issue a banning order. Taking pictures is probably a civil offence so a court cannot issue a banning order. Therefore a court, following a criminal case of footy violence, can insist that your photo is taken and distributed, goslow or the bspa cannot legally do it. They may possibly get a banning order if they got an injunction from a court banning periscoping but it is unlikely that they would be given the ok to take and circulate a photo of the individual. There is a big difference between criminal and civil law. As mentioned above a note in the prog cannot be upheld as a rule or reg, any rule or reg has to be available at the point of the taking up of the contract, ie payment by the fan and acceptance of the payment is the point of contract.
  19. The bspa have cocked the rules up again and now that it seems that some of the FTR riders are better than the riders in the positions 1 - 5, in some cases both FTR riders for a club, so it will not be long before riders who started in the top 5 will be a reserve. It looks like D Watt for Poole will soon be a reserve, followed by Chris Holder if he carries on scoring like he is at the moment. More importantly the weather for tonight looks good with a bit of rain due about 3pm, COYR.
  20. Only if the individual allows them to take his or her photo and or name so it would not be easy.
  21. An individual club could ban a member of the public from its track but it would be almost impossible to ban a member from all tracks.
