A ORLOV

Not sure if reserves can only be used from non qualifying teams for both semis and final, but these two could be an option but when Poole were at Swindon only Lahti scored well. The way things are going tonight I would imagine Poole will be in the play offs, so do we pick them or BV?

It is a pity Poole are riding thurs as their reserves Lahti and Shanes are going well tonight. Their averages allow them to guest for our two.

What is EPG, as there are still no listings on freeview for speedway. Also if they are starting in Sept most speedway will have ended by then so did they state they would be showing and when?.

Just hope he can ride a bike and score a few points

Even if they did beat Swindon, which I doubt, Swindon would stuff them at home. Still we will see how these two teams go this friday.

It could be if Buster was rightly or wrongly not happy about the injury, anyway these riders are self employed contractors and can be sacked at any time. If Troy has a water tight contract he should take Buster or whoever to court.

Nick is expected to be able to ride after last nights crash and Swindon have called up Alfie Bowtell rides in place of Zach. http://swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2969

I am sure that on previous occasions that a d/u rider has suddenly changed who he rides for if one meeting is rained off but not sure if second club had announced guest or r/r.

Probably that this could have been the final straw after a build up of previous incidents.

I wonder if Buster will have a number 8 available or on the sidelines in the eventuality of an injury in the first meeting

Thanks but that is a blow.

He wants a lower points limit only to stop most of the other clubs resigning their successful 2018 teams.

Agree about Davey but can we use him with the 7 day rule or does that not apply to reserves.

On bspa listings as 9th and 11th Oct

Agreed but any decent schedule should allow for a couple of cancellations, unjustified or not. Hopefully specific race nights will help as all d/u riders should always be available.

If we get through to the final why should we have to ride at home first, change the schedule.

I wonder if whichever idiot scheduled the seasons meetings with all the gaps in May, June and July might actually learn how to spread the seasons meetings out.

What a couple of good results which now puts us 10 points ahead of the rest of the league. Strange meetings, plenty of action and decent racing but far too many delays, especially the one between the two meetings. Rosco might have found a good guest for Zach in M Davey who by the second meeting had got used to the track and scored a decent 6 points. Also while BWD is injured he might want to get Kyle Newman to guest for him. What is strange is that at the start of the season people were saying the teams with the strongest reserves would do well, but we have been beating many while our reserves have been injured. It is our strong 1 - 5, since the inclusion of Tobi, that has worked for us, just imagine what our scores would have been if Zach and BWD were fit and scoring what they were.

I was looking at Freeview channel 273 which shows nothing up till midnight thurs 31st, apart from message Coming soon, but will note the times you have stated, thanks.

Do not care if the Speedway is a day or two behind the actual meetings, Channel 4 used to show the Speedway GPs a week after they were run and that was OK We will soon find out if Swedish Speedway is live or not. Am looking forward to what they are showing apart from football, they can stuff that. TV prog guide menu only goes up to thurs and at the moment shows nothing, so will keep checking it and report when they are showing speedway, unless another poster beats me to it from some other source.

Yes lots of variety and different teams throughout the season It might be an improvement if the visiting teams had their own riders.

Only 15 posts, obviously a lot of interest in these meetings. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/15498323.Rossiter_wants_his_Swindon_Robins_to_continue_their_record_breaking_run/?ref=mr&lp=7

I posted earlier that we may need to be wary of these two and with our reserves and the likes of Josh Bates for Leicester could really push us but think we will win against Somerset . Even if we lose it will not affect our position in the league.

And Rye, if they beat Poole to 4th, being dark horses could be the reason, if Swindon end up at the top may pick BV in the semis.
