Sidney the robin

That is what Rosco is good at he backs his judgement on a rider and installs confidence in them.Adam and Zach are two prime examples Adam really has come on well and he will keep impoving the same with Zach he had a nasty injury last year so it has took him time but i see him getting his average above 4 by the end of the season.Another thing that has never been mentioned Rosco naming young Anders Rowe at number 8 ok he wont get many opportunities but how good was that for Anders being there at the pressday gaining experience and being shown that he is part of a longterm plan. Rosco was a young Sprocket at one time he had to work hard to come through the system and was given a chance so he understands the ins/ outs of the sport. Swindon as a club are going in the right direction i just hope the crowds hold up the club deserve that.

I went to see Piotr at the end of the season one year at Poole against Lakeside he got a paid max worth the entrance fee to see him.

Both bloody good riders though, and Piotr when he is on his A game can be superb at Wimbourne Rd i would love either brother to ride for Poole again.

Steve did young Josh ride with the Mcgurk twins and Archie Freeman at Newcastle? thought the name rung a bell hope the young lad gets a prolonged breakthrough chance.

In the race you are refering to did Ben pass Danyon first ? then Danyon chased him hard and went around the boards to pass him.Hume i am a big fan of so it is great he is getting more race fit by the minute fingers crossed no more injuries.Morley i like alot he has always been good on the technical tracks but he has moved to the big IOW venue to improve as a rider i admire that.Now he rides the fence quite alot which is amazing for me Ben and Ash Morris are two of the biggest improving riders around.

I thought Jack was a pussycat WK ?? no seriously apparently he was great with the young riders with his advice and support and i never knew he was great mates with the great Phil Crump.

Tony Childs.? Tommy Roper?

What was refreshing about last night was it seems that the NL this year might not have so many. easy 60/30ish home wins.The IOW put up a fight and battled hard which was great Morley(who i like) had three great battles with Hume and Hopwood battled hard also heard the young reserve Embleton has ability.I listened to the meeting on the radio and what a brilliant show it was excellent stuff that and the speedway updates do a terrific job for speedway.

It was a great result for Wolves Pete Adams made a great point before the meeting saying that away points are oh so vital because you will have one blip at home in the season and you need those points to fall back on.Poole showed grit to get a draw but there are problems there team wise that need to be addressed we shall see what happens between now and Monday.But the massive difference now is even if you wanted or could bring in a big hitter ( ie a Emil,Nicki, Patryk ( ect) it is totally out of the question it is not financially viable anymore .And lets be honest if Poole cannot afford it nobody can British speedway has to change now and fasten it's belt as there is a tough road ahead for every club.Monday's meeting at Wolves is a massive one now if they come away with nothing the pressure is really on with Somerset, King's Lynn,in the mix it could be a tough road ahead i personally wont be writing the Pirates off just yet.

Fair comment indeed.

It is going to be very interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks i still think Poole can pull things around but with King's Lynn in the mix it wont be easy.The base of the side that i thought might start in 2018 for the Pirates was Holder ( both) Brady, Hans, Woryna, i was very worried about the look of that spine just think those riders with two others it looks pretty strong.

Thanks hobbit.!!

Can you hear this meeting on the radio tonight.?

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.

It looks a lot healthier for the future than it has for quite a while which is great.
