Sidney the robin

I actually want Rye to improve because they are good for the league and it was great that they come up.Now i believe is the right time to think about one big league as things now are getting pretty desperate and i know there would be a problem with the number of riders but i believe teams could be pretty near together strength wise.For me building a team you have to think of the year after as well at Swindon we have done that pretty well.Continuity is something i like in a team and i would like to think again next year the team will be built around Morris,Musielak, Batchelor,Ellis, Zach W anyway hope things improve for Rye.

Let's be honest he has taken stick on this forum over the years even when he has been doing well.

I have not heard any excuses from him Harris have you ? last night KK was a disgrace yet he escapes hardly any flak he scored more than Harris but his attitude of oh well if i am behind let's give up and pull up was a real kick in the teeth certainly for Rye fans.

Ben forget about averages someone putting two on his average that will guarantee nothing. A team is like a jigsaw and team spirit means one hell of alot too you can have two riders who are popular with the fans always average six mixed in with some fresh blood youth that scenario can work to.Poole this year are a fine example at least four of there riders should of improved there averages it has not happened has it for some reason for me it it is a myth about having to have improving riders yes it helps but having a Balance is the answer.

Do you know how much he is on.? or is it pie in the sky.?? ok he is struggling at times but he puts 100 per cent in do you expect blood.

Maybe you need to try and understand the reasons why? you are more and likely not interested in them but surely you see he was trying last night and as a supporter in my eyes that is all you can ask.As a example at Swindon there has been some moans and groans about Bellego at times this year and look at him last night he was on fire.In speedway now there are fine lines between doing well and just falling short.

Chris Harris you had to feel for him last night the effort was there but he looked so slow.He must of made changes and give Musielak one hell of a scrap he tried everything then later on in the meeting he has two falls in one race.The first was bunching on the first bend then he was involved in a horrific crash with Nick Morris/Scott all got up god knows how.? The rerun then begun and Chris is first at the starting gate amazing last night showed why i am such an admirer of Bomber takes his knocks comes back for more for me a real racer i hope he gets his machine issues sorted out soon.

I am really pleased for the Stars fans and a play/off position is a real possiblity now all to play for.I thought this side would struggle but they have been superb and it has to be good for the league as a whole.Swindon(my side) Wolves,BelleVue,Poole all have frailaties so it could go down to the wire who claims a top 4 spot.

I think the reserves should hold there own against Greaves hope so anyway be very interesting to see how Etheridge goes has had an impressive season so far.

Tell him thanks for his time surely it is in his job description??? there are people on the forum who work fourty hours plus a week and often unsociable hours.

Monday night racing at the Abbey will not work unless it is on a bank holiday or against Poole i thought there was maybe 8/900 there tonight at best.The racing was ok Rye House were dismal they looked a tired old team riding against a Swindon team who still have riders on the way up special mention for Jack Smith worked his socks off for his points.

How would those two do away from the big home advantage of Arlington though? Birmingham for me is a fairer track..Saying that i like both of those you named Wood had a good go at it at Sheffield and Brennan looks like he has a bright future.

How is Danyon Hume going B ? he seems to be getting there seems to be a real decent gater but is gutsy to and a real racer.Just hope he stays injury free as he is a raw talent who will learn as he goes along he certainly has a future.

Great to see the young lad back and Birmingham again have three terrific heat leaders.For me the main thing for Jack is not to put pressure on himself and start enjoying his racing again he has real talent and has years in front of him to make real progress technically style wise he has everything.

It should be a comfortable home win for the Robins tonight as long as complacency does not creep in.Rye House have riders who can go well at the Abbey so it should be a hard fought meeting.What i like about this Swindon side is even without knowing the averages for next year i would be more than happy with Nick,Batch,Tobi, Adam , Zach being the core of next years team.

Rosco said last Thursday the team will not be changed this season and i am 100 per cent behind him on that loyalty means a lot.Some of the names mentioned to come in if anything makes us look weaker.

I dont know WK a great question maybe i am wrong but Briggs was pretty professional really fit as well physically. stronger than most.Mauger was good really top class he took the sport forward but Briggs like you have said endless times was very unlucky and I believe he would and should of won his fifth title in 72.

Spot on.

I think in those days WK when the riders went to the tapes most of them were on the same sort of aquipment a level playing field the skill element track craft then came into the equation.That is why IVAN was so special aquipment immaculate he ploughed money into his aquipment and got his rewards later on.

I was thinking that myself Scotsman would you judge a rider on one performance? i actually first saw Brennan on the small track at Swindon and he impressed me.A couple of guys who who i know come on to the forum and both see loads of NL racing and I respect both there opinion's greatly actually felt he was not making that much progress and had to get away from Eastbourne to progress.Looking at the Championship Bacon, Mountain,Hume have the highest averages it just shows you how tough the jump is from NL racing for me out of the two pointers Hume barring injury will go on he has something.I would just give him time Brennan just think if he come in now and went to Berwick,Workington,Edinburgh,Scunny,Glasgow a totally different ball game a totally different level look at Bickley 0 again last night he can't buy a point,

WK i can remember going to Eastbourne one afternoon ( hated there dam claxon!!) and seeing the Italian rider Nano Righetto ride. His bike god it looked like he had just picked it up from Steptoes junk yard what a heep.!!!

Really enjoyed last night some proper racing Morris v Schlein was superb.Rory was majestic his track craft awesome a special mention for Zach a brilliant effort getting the better of Howarth shows he is getting there improving by the week.

Whatever you say to be honest means nothing , were you at the same meeting as me tonight ??? Schlein outstanding very quick mega quick great track craft his race with Morris was terrific.some decent racing tonight.!

Winning is not the be all and end all there is a lot more about speedway than just that.

After all the changes in the last two years Ford had to get something right Nielsen when he is in the top five he will often only be getting three rides he will find it very hard in the top five.
