Wow - so Poole really do have 4 HLs (3 of which were/are recent #1s), a great second string (BKR) and two of the best reserves in the EL. Just give them the trophy now!

He was the implication

I think he was just touchy about the previous reply.

They all count towards the team average

KL get 2 points for the away draw

So Paul Starke moves up to #2 position in the team, scores 1 point and gets replaced for his last ride by the rider who swapped places with him. How is that helping him progress? At least he didn't go straight to a HL spot!

Ever thought of a job in management? A bit of compassion, empathy and understanding wouldn't go amiss!

Nothing wrong if the away side is Poole

Eh? There is no way Richie Worrall would have scored what they got from RR. The problem in the rules is in the FTR department!

In the first 5 heats - this is the Swindon team I expected to see this year - not the poor imitation we have these last few meetings. Still time for it to go Pete Tong but at least they have started riding to their potential!

So you are embarrassed that you are fine with him not wanting to ride in the UK - you'll get over it! I think you will find that the majority support him no matter what is posted on social media - if you don't believe me - wait until Cardiff! There is no 'supposedly' about - he IS British and its your prerogative who you support but a 2x World Champion in a longer series of SGPs suggests he is someone special as a speedway rider - whether you like him or not!

For the record Scotland is part of GB but I understand your analogy!

The same Swindon that tonked them at Blunsdon?

Too much thinking there

There is a lot of bull rubbish written on this thread. Like him or not - he is the world champion, is British and is doing what is good for him and his family. So what if he doesn't race in the UK! How many riders do you know that have done so much for charity over several years? Yup - just the one - Tai Woffinden. What a great ambassador for the sport and a genuinely nice person too!

I honestly don't think anyone expected an FTR to move to a HL role in one move. I think it shows how poor the Swindon team have performed that Wright will now be a second heat leader. Of course it is stupid and it certainly won't help with his development - especially when the guy who replaced him at reserve gets one of his rides. It shows how shockingly Ill-conceived the whole FTR process is and a total lack of foresight!

No idea why you quoted my post.

He wa on the original post

Hope Rory makes a speedy recovery

No worry at all. On the other hand if it were you in charge then we'd all be worried!

Trust me - they were worse at Poole!

Ok - so you don't like Rosco. Can I suggest that you tell this to his face rather than posting your rubbish on here - thank you!

Congratulations to Wolves - obviously the better side as 5 Swindon riders chose not to participate - again!!

Take a bow Charles Wright - dislocates his shoulder one night and puts in a great performance the next while the rest of the team (except Doyley) continue to take the p*ss! Sort it out ffs!

Another poor start from the Roobins - they need to pull their fingers out!! Sigh!
