I'm trying to understand why - or is the BSPA boys club in action? I'm pretty sure Coventry were runners-up last year - so if not Poole, why not the Bees?

That old chestnut again! How many EL promoters own their stadiums? So out of a very short list - Buster is great!

It's not started yet and as Bees know only too well it's not how you start it's how you finish! First target is the playoffs (which any team other than Wolves should be in contention for) and then it doesn't matter what went before as long as your team click for the playoffs.

As I've said before Ginger is a rider I woud have persevered with. As others have said he put in some good scores (balanced with some awful ones) but he will come back a stronger rider and make a mockery of his starting average.

Didn't see that coming - signing Magic and Ginger! NOT!

You running for parliament?

Yes - it's on the Swindon speedway website. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2371.1

You didn't want to be pedantic but were. I even provided a link for you to confirm that you were incorrect in what you had written. No thank you or apology I notice but some reference to having a life - was that an attempt at sarcasm - which you said gets you nowhere??

No - Leicester confirmed it and it fed onto the BSPA website - not quite the same as what you said. Also - have a read of this http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2371.1

How do you know he hasn't done that? I know what the process is but not why you felt the need to quote it here. Oh well!

Skidder will disappointed that Swindon have their license and Batch will be riding. Details at http://www.swindonlinksport.com/2015/03/08/batch-free-to-ride-as-robins-have-visa-licence-returned/

I think this is the right link http://www.swindonlinksport.com/2015/03/08/batch-free-to-ride-as-robins-have-visa-licence-returned/. Skidder will be disappointed

KLINDT it is then

I think he could prove to be a good signing and shouldbe good to see him progress - definitely worth taking the risk and, if it doesn't work out, should be able to replace with a higher averaged rider - should one become available as the season progresses.

It isn't on the Swindon website.

It was announced ages ago - Swindon start with home and away wins on Good Friday against the pugwash girls

I'd be disappointed too having to watch Coventry

I think Howarth will do well but thanks for your concern Absolutely - when you get turned over home and away

Show me the official records that say this - and not what you think should happen. The official records I've looked at have Poole at the top - and no asterisk!

Any team, apart from Wolves shouldn't be written off. Actually, Wolves included, it is a hard one to call this year for who gets into the play-offs. Poole look likely (if the expected two riders sign) as do KL (with almost the same team as last year). I think the remaining two spots can go to any of the other teams - bearing in mind that they may strengthen during the season, are lucky with injuries and guest riders and the teams get the best out of all their riders.

Really?? I've only been saying that for weeks while everyone was saying he would be good for your team. He may well be but he isn't riding in the UK this year - as you now seem to realise.

Crucially - it IS pointless because KL did not top the table no matter what you think should happen - and no asterisk beside Poole's name as being EL champions!

That's alright then because you didn't. As a Swindon fan, can I just state I would be happy to win the league any way we can :wink:

No he hasn't! Why would he answer that? The list would tell everyone who it isn't which would then help do the very thing you are accusing him of. I suggest everyone just waits until morning and be disappointed or not!

Who is affected by visa issues? Non-Europeans! If he isn't Australian then the visa situation is irrelevant!
