But its a special commemorative meeting for Swindon on Monday - 69th anniversary of their first meeting or something?!

There are enough riders around on up to 6.10 if DB is to be replaced.

Then why include Poole in the title of the thread? If anyone wants to make a general point about the number of changes that could/should be made then put it under general discussion.

Surely its what any team s;port is about - if riders are out of form or not producing the goods you change them within whatever window of opportunity exists, with another who you hope will improve the team's performance. Speedway is only complicated by having averages!! If you have a striker in football or a good run-maker in cricket who isn't scoring then you replace them - either temporarily in the hope they can reclaim their form - or permanently.

more blah blah.

Could have given 'em a rake and got them to do something useful!!

Swindon have 2 x 8+ point riders and a team total of 43.04, so who and how would you suggest?!

Great initiative which is so obvious I'm surprised all clubs don't do it?!

...only some speedway minds!!

Maybe because thats the story they wanted to tell their supporters, making out it was not their own fault?!

Teriffic article in the Swindon section by Terry Russell in this week's Speedway Star, bemoaning the fact that Speedway's 'second division' are allowed to call the shots over the top league. He cites the case of 3 of his riders for whom Swindon pay all the costs also being used by Lakeside who pay nothing other than points money yet get priority of those riders when there is a (potential) fixture clash. I couldn't agree more.

No point in scoring big points if you're not getting paid is it?!

Is that the same Chris Harris that wasn't allowed to sign for the Somerset Rebels? As they say: it's not what you know - but who you know! ..or just a case of being able to do simple arithmetic!!

The rules clearly state August 12th cut-off, with any changes effective on 15th August. (Incidentally thats more or less exactly 28 days for MF to consider bringing Sundstrom - or any other rider that fits - back for Worrall if scores don't improve.)

Its quite simple as to why Somerset couldn't sign Harris to replace Vissing, because it would have put them over the 42.50 points limit (just!). Didn't need a BSPA guru to step in - just someone who could do simple arithmetic!!

Hans said in the interview that 'he took one for the team' when agreeing to take gate 4!

Sweden works??!! Despite not having 5 weeks of invoices being paid!! " Monday night is speedway night. Everyone knows its on a Monday night." Well it might be in Wolverhampton and very occasionally at Poole but hardly anywhere else.

Who says he's walking away?

I'm sure there are contractual obligations to show every PL track at least once!!

So with Wolves Peter Adams suggesting the BSPA are considering adjusting not only the Rye House rider averages (despite Summers already moving to Somerset on his July average), but also looking at adjusting all teams averages according to their scores v Rye. Good luck with that - if it happens??!

I think Leicester should be charged with theft, nicking Poole's blue groove like they have and then allowing it to spawn a second one!!

Thats presumably why 6 of the 7 teams are in action on Monday 16th?!

He's carried on in his last 2 CL meetings - paid 27 points as a heat leader!!

I don't believe its the whole carpark thats been included in any potential housebuilding plans - just the 'lorry' park and the part closest to the Wimborne Road buildings that will be demolished.

Klindt was on fire for Worky last night. 12 point max - his best score of the season......so far!!
