Agree Sidney. Decent guests might not be available most weeks. This season has been a total mess from the management side of things. Just have to read about the drama of the fours tournament and it hasn't even begun yet. Silly rules left, right and centre this season.
-
I know see my earlier post A ORLOV. Swindon's best bet is Max Clegg but I don't think the abbey would suit him. Just my opinion though.
-
I think we all thought Krystian was a rider at first. I certainly did. I would say 90% Gomolski but don't rule Dudek out. Matt Ford said in his programme notes that he offered the biggest contract he has ever offered to a big name rider but what stopped the deal was the money it would cost in compensation to his Polish club if the rider got injured. Rumours of the rider being either Patryk Dudek or Maciej Janowski. Matt also said in the Echo last night that we would probably stick rather than twist unless a top 10 rider rung up and changed his mind about Poole. I would be happy whoever it is. I like both riders and I think they are both better than what we have at this moment in time. Also it would be a double change. Andersen is going nowhere and Brady will be coming back. Shanes is safe on his 2 something average and only a silly person would let Jack go. The riders facing the axe are Kennett, Lahti & Starke

4 something is Jacobs.
-
On SpeedwayGP website it states that Plech is Dudek's manager. Click Dudek's profile on the SpeedwayGP website. I have also been on the Polish websites and Plech doesn't ride in any Polish league so he must be a manager and not a rider.
-
Will be a double change. Gomolski wouldn't fit in a straight swap.
-
The signing is more than likely Kacper Gomolski. However Matt did say he would stick unless a top 10 rider contacted him. Watch this space but my money is on Gomolski.
-
We would win the league if it's Dudek. Plech is Gomolski's manager's too though I think.
-
I haven't either. I thought he was a rider at first. Turns out he is Dudek's manager See above post.
-
Checking out Krystian Plech's twitter and he seems to have strong connections with Patryk Dudek and Kacper Gomolski.
-
Will be for us.

Agree. Dumping Kerr was the start of many mistakes. Kyle Newman was struggling but he was riding at No.3 after coming back from injury. Personally I would've given Kyle a few meetings at No.2. We should've kept Kasprzak because if the performances didn't improve then at least he would of been on a lower average then 5.51 for next season. Onto the Kennett signing I tried to remain positive at the start but after last night I cant remain in the same frame of mind. Losing to Morris when on a 15m handicap proves that Ed isn't going to beat anyone of note on the road. Matt Ford has messed up big time this season. We should find a way to keep Richie in the side as he fully deserves his place in the 1-7

They will be here don't you worry. Jason Doyle signed a two-year deal at Swindon. Chris Holder has to ride over here doesn't he? Fast Freddie will be at Wolves.
-
Get well soon Zach. You see what I mean now? I said anything can happen. Wajtknecht is impossible to replace in my opinion. 3.12 points to play with the only option I can see is Max Clegg who is more of a technical track racer.

Swindon V Poole Thurs 27/07/

Don't get involved Lisa. I made that mistake the other day and then certain members started having a go at me. Just let them get on with it. All of them will get banned eventually. -
Robert Lambert staying at King's Lynn. We are back to square one. Doesn't matter about Gater1's team now. See Robert Lambert's latest tweets.
-
I would love to see Robert Lambert at Poole. Everyone is quitting their roles at King's Lynn at this moment in time so I wouldn't be shocked if this rumour turns out to be true. We shall see about that. Robert may have quit King's Lynn. Then again it could turn out to be a false rumour. Matt Ford would find a way to fit Lambert in.
-
Too late to make a change I feel but you never know in Speedway. EDIT! Just got a text from a friend of mine who is a King's Lynn fan and He said there is a rumour going around amongst King's Lynn fans that Robert Lambert might be heading our way. Don't shoot the messenger I just thought I would share it on here with you guys. That way it gives us all a bit of hope.

Swindon V Poole Thurs 27/07/
Mattfordfan replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I don't post on here often. I wrote a few posts at the start of the season and only recently started posting again when we signed Ed Kennett. I have no problem in sending you a PM containing my real name in full as I have nothing to hide. -
Poole Pirates Vs Somerset Rebels 26/07/17
Mattfordfan replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Just not our year this year. No consistency in the team this year. As much as it pains me to say this but I have to agree with Gater tonight. He or she does have a point about Lahti riding @ No.5. Silly decision really. -

Mattfordfan replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I know he or she is an annoying troll. Why people reply to it I don't know. However on this occasion you both said something that was way out of line. You can call me whatever you want it doesn't bother me I don't react like others do. You gave the troll what he wanted earlier. Gater1 then reacted as always. Just don't reply to him or her. I stand by my earlier post. My team is struggling a lot this year and I don't mind if fellow Speedway fans want to take the mickey out of us it happens in every sport. However I don't want to come on here reading ridiculous posts about members wishing death on one another it's just plain stupidity. Now you are accusing me of being a troll/KKS. I can assure you I am not a troll neither am I KKS. KKS's twitter @DanW400. Check him or her out if you're that bothered. Before you ask I PM'd a member earlier this year asking who KKS was and I got sent this twitter address. -

I said certain members on here were being harsh. Eddie could turn out to be a shrewd signing if he can improve on the road. -

Mattfordfan replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I don't normally get involved with the immature ones on here but beefy keefy, Gater1 & hagonshocker will you please SHUT UP! You are ruining this thread for the rest of us. You're all as bad as each other. If you don't want to talk about the meeting or Speedway in general then don't bother coming on here at all. As for the meeting I would like to think we could get a point out of this but Swindon are on a roll at this moment in time. Swindon 51-39 Poole. -
Anyone can win the play-offs. Anything can happen. Key riders could get injured or they could hit a bad run of form. If you are in the play-offs then you will always have a chance. For example. BV vs. Swindon Cook could get injured and then BV are up against it. Wilson-Dean might have to withdraw from the meeting and then Swindon are up against it. You don't know what is going to happen. It doesn't all come down to who has the best 1-7 on paper. Wolves would have beaten us easily but Howarth got injured and then Wolves struggled after that which resulted in us getting the win.
-
That's a bit disrespectful. Eddie is a decent rider. Fair enough his away form is poor but Eddie will always score big points at home. Home form is key at the end of the day and if you can pick up a point here and there on the road then fantastic. Ed Kennett rides Wimborne Road very well and I am happy that we have him in our side. We could still win the league in my opinion. We have taken at least a point from all of our away meetings this year and that's with Kasprzak not trying for us so I think this change is a positive one. In my opinion Hans Andersen is an out and out No.1 in this watered down league so its not like we don't have a big hitter or anything. Just my opinion. Some will see it different to me but I like to look at the positives and not the negatives.
