v Sweden - Smallmead Stadium - Reading 2006

Hopefully the last time Harris wears a team GB racesuit.

I think that change rules out Wolverhampton and Leicester for top 4 now

If Poole do indeed finish top Steve, who would you pick to face in semi finals. King’s Lynn??

Top 4 Poole Somerset King’s Lynn Swindon ••••••••••••••••• Belle Vue Wolverhampton Leicester

I know one thing, people on this forum don’t like it when you criticise riders. I’m a troll apparently for having a opinion.

I lived in Tilehurst and went to Little Heath secondary school.

Are you doubting my credibility as a Reading supporter? I didn’t know you was now allowed to go abroad in October.

Sadly not I’d already booked a holiday, wasn’t it a individual event won by Ulrich Ostergaard (who might I say was immense in 2008)

Well obviously I want Swindon Robins to remain, I’d still be gutted just like I was gutted when Smallmead was demolished.

Robins 1. Troy Batchelor 2. David Bellego 3. Adam Ellis 4. Tobiasz Musielak 5. Nick Morris 6. Zach Wajtknecht 7. Jack Smith Lions 1. Hans Andersen 2. Ricky Wells 3. Charles Wright 4. Stuart Robson 5. Scott Nicholls 6. Josh Auty 7. Connor Mountain

I was born in Reading so followed the Racers from 1990 until closure, moved to Swindon in 2016, if Swindon closed Somerset would be my local track. What’s hard to understand.

I supported Reading from 1990-2008, Swindon from 2017 and If Swindon closes Somerset is the nearest to me.

Rider Report - August 2018 Nick Morris Has failed to deliver as a number one, his average dropping below 8 as a result. Home form has been decent until recently, away form has been below what is expected. 2018 Grade • 6/10 Keep for 2019 • ❌ David Bellego  Can look unbeatable one meeting and awful the next. Still a quality rider at Abbey Stadium but too unpredictable away. 2018 Grade • 5/10 Keep for 2019 • ❌ Adam Ellis Such a different rider to the one that started 2018 in Robins colours. Faster and more mature, I predict big things for Adam. 2018 Grade • 8/10 Keep for 2019 • ✔️ Tobiasz Musielak Started the season as a heatleader and did pretty well considering. Always looking for the pass and so stylish on the bike, will only get better. 2018 Grade • 7/10 Keep for 2019 • ✔️ Troy Batchelor  Has improved his starting average greatly and proved all the doubters wrong on and off the track, only one bad meeting in 2018. 2018 Grade • 9/10 Keep for 2019 • ✔️ Zach Wajtknecht This boy has the potential to be the next Lee Richardson, he can out-gate the best. Doesn’t get enough recognition but is happy to go under the radar.  2018 Grade • 8/10 Keep for 2019 • ✔️ Jack Smith Out of his depth but a good gater, just needs faster machinery and few more years in Championship. Could definitely see him becoming a Robin again in the future. 2018 Grade • 4/10 Keep for 2019 - ❌

Rosco now backing the high•low•high•low scoring top 5. You have got to admire the loyalty, staying loyal to Jack Smith however is just borderline crazy. http://www.swindonrobins.co/_mobile/news.php?extend.3155.1

10pt point deduction would be sufficient with no fine.

SCB Regulations 7.4 Fuel and oil must be handled in the correct manner, particularly in a way that avoids spillage. The rules are there to protect the environment. Assuming they did pour oil from a can then this is totally wrong. You cannot ask riders to follow a rule for sensible environmental reasons then go against spirit of that rule. Dock them points and fine them heavily.

Belle Vue still have Leicester away though.

Swindon & Wolverhampton will miss out. Belle Vue will gain 4 points away to Leicester, win all their home meetings and gain the 2 points required at Kings Lynn & Wolverhampton.

BSPA investigating apparently.

Time to dock points BSPA, 10 should do it. Matt Fraud can’t get away with this one.

Is that the Suchanek that rode for the Racers in their last ever season, he was rubbishe.
