10am start tomorrow if called off tonight

Gotta be Irn-Bru

Errrr.....yes, its exactly what Bridger did by going from the Conference league straight into the Elite league as a 16 year old and look where it has got him in a couple of seasons he's become an Elite league heatleader on a 7.63 average and has now ridden in the SWC - not done too badly by riding against 'far superior opposition' has he?

Why are some of the negative souls on here banging the drum of final, final final? they keep going on about losing but if we had the riders they want in the squad we might have made the final, but we would still have lost, no way we are going to get anywhere near the Poles or Aussies at the moment so give the younger riders the experience so in 2 or 3 years we are in a position to be able to compete for the title. Guess the likes of Orion and Frigbo are so desperate to see a team they support win something after following Swindon for so long

Good job some of the people on here aren't Aussies, or they would be calling for Crump to be dropped for the final after he was beaten by Lindback

Thought this tread was about the SWC playoff?????? Not about someone who is Skittish

Poole every week

Exactly what I said earlier Spanner, we are never going to win the meeting or come last with or without Scott and Lee so why not take the chance to give the younger riders some valuable experience.

I'm sure you'll get a punch in the gob if you ask the riders that Blazeaway

I'm sure Charlie must read this forum so why don't you post up some insightful questions she could ask? I'm sure she would be grateful for your input

Who are England playing tonight?

I personally think Rob Lyon has taken a brave decision - but the right one in his selection for tonight. With or without Scott and Lee we were never going to beat the likes of the Aussies or Poles to win the meeting and go straight to the final and likewise, with or without Scott and Lee I can't for the life of me see us being beaten by the Slovenians. So it's the perfect opportunity to give the younger lads some WTC experience which will hopefully make them better prepared for the next few seasons when we may be better equiped to challenge for the WTC. Whatever happens I think whatever team Rob put out would take us to the race off and then its time to put our strongest team out, even though our passage to the final through that looks nigh on impossible with Sweden, Denmark and one of Poland (most likely) or the Aussies our opponents on Thursday.

Can't remember my original picks but my look squad looks like this - Sayfutdinov £25k Crump £50k AJ £35k Nicki P £60k Wild Card £20k total £190k

Lindgren

Same as round 1 for me

I did Lindgren £10 ew at 40/1 and a few heat bets and made a very tidy £265 profit

Liar!

Keith Huewen trying to pronounce Manny Pacquiao's name when advertising his fight against Ricky Hatton was a classic too

Not as bad as Johno calling a three time world champion Nicki Petersen

CanI join in please? My team will be - 2.Jason Crump £50k (Captain) 5.Hans Andersen £45k 7.Andreas Jonsson £35k 10.Freddie Lindgren £30k 12.Kenneth Bjerre £30k Total £190k

Fair enough, obviously was worse than it looked to me then It's good to get an explanation from someone who was there who doesn't have an agenda - just an honest opinion, Thank you

Looking at Conkers pictures to me the track don't look that bad. Obviously i'm not there but i've seen much worse raced on in the GP's this year Will be interesting if any of the riders come out and give an opinion, but it won't be anyone looking for a nomination for next year if they want to appear in 2009 - just ask Hans Andersen Edit - looks like NP read my mind, but he isn't going to say too uch as i'm sure he's glad of another week to recover from his injury.

With all the hot air coming out of BSI and IMG i'm sure they could have dried the track in about 10 minutes between them
