A ORLOV

I do not understand why the speedway clubs and federations have anything to do with the FIM, there may be a reason but they seem to cause problems and make money and deals for doing very little. As mentioned above like FIFA these ruling bodies need a bloody good clean out and reorganisation or kicking in to touch. With the fuss about the SEC and GPs and riders possibly not allowed to ride in both I did wonder if the organisation running the SEC would tell which bit of the FIM it was that caused the problems where to go and get the federations to run under someone else.

Was it a black and white cat ?

Most definitely if they change the British wild card from the top non Gp rider in the British Final again.

For smooth riding style and ability, and his riding with L Richardson and M Zagar in heats 13 and 15 or shepherding younger riders to a win, Leigh Adams was a great all round rider. For putting off the opposition at Swindon Steve Gresham.

Hope that is the case as always goes well in individual meetings and seems to like the Swindon track.

That is strange as Bomber has twitted that he would be pleased to do it only 10 hours ago, does he need Hortons permission to ride in it.

Day 27 app. and counting.

That is correct if you just want to use your initials

And once in the eu country are they then free to travel to all the other countries where there are no border controls?.

Press and Practice Tues March 24th, gates should be open about 4.30 and after practice there will be the opportunity to chat with the riders in the middle bar from about 6.30.

I understand that Matt is trying to sign a Polish rider D. Wardski.

News of some of the riders booked http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2364 Also in the Australian team will be Nick Morris

Would imagine that would be the case and if they plan it right the under 7 point riders who want to come over will share out the state events.

Had to add to the likes on Starman QC comment, and yours Gustix. Edited to make the point that it is claimed by gustix that the Gustix post on the news paper article is not him.

I would hope that a payment, part of the 106 agreement, is made to the council for each house built and not after they have built the 399th. Also they are not able to knock down the existing stadium to build on that area and the car park until the new one is built, so we would just continue in the old one.

Bear in mind the 45 days could be working days which is 9 weeks, so 6 to go, which would be the second half of April

Not dreamt up and have gone back through this thread and found comments on page 12.

Is the size of the BV track ok for FIM events or not, as way back it was mentioned that it was not?. If it is that is good

The new Stadium at Swindon is scheduled to be built before the 2016 season. They have recently started building the houses and the conditions are that the Stadium must be either started or completed before they sell 400 houses. This track is of FIM size, unlike the BV one which I understand is not, but there is a planning change already put forward by the developers to reduce the size of the industrial area surrounding the track and to build more houses, which may delay the building and opening of the track by March 2016. Some houses have already been built within a couple of hundred yards from the existing stadium and others are going up fast. One thing they are building is an old peoples home next to the stadium, so if the flats overlook the track fans could get one of these flats and watch the speedway from their balcony.

Someone spurted it out, did they ?

It may just be like last season when they announced certain meetings and added others nearer the date.

More info now on website http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2363

Just a little bit of info and a guess Chalkie. I think I heard that the format for the Bob Kilby meeting was going to be the 2015 Swindon team against ex Swindon riders, if this is the case they might try to aim for just before the 26th.

After Batch has his visa, but if these are not issued by end of March I would hope just before April 3rd ( first EL Meeting )

If the announcer has had a few drinks before the meeting any announcing of the sponsor could be interesting.
