I would rather have Justin Elkins!

It's not whether the management are happy - it's the fans who need to be happy. Look at Birmingham last season - a team that had wooden spoon written all over it and didn't excite the fans. The management can be happy if they get a rider on an 8+ average who can maintain that and lead the team!

Yes I would be saying it for whoever digressed - he's not guilty (or innocent) because he rides for a particular club and it is foolish to suggest that is the case! Don't see how you an deduce that the FIM messed up big time by continually delaying the hearing - it suggests nothing more than a delay and anything else is speculation. Your last paragraph was funny though - look at the facts! The facts are that he failed a test and is suspended pending his hearing - anything else is pure speculation! I don't believe I have been slagging Darcy off as I think he is the most talented rider on a speedway bike - I guess it must be the Poole spin - someone says something about a rider who happens to ride for Poole therefore they are Poole haters/bashers. And to your final point - I haven't failed a breath test so nothing to put in order whereas Darcy has! like many people on here, I don't like the finding and using of loopholes and it seems that despite failing the test, Darcy (and his team) are now proposing that the test was flawed. That's not anti-Darcy or anti-Poole!

If a sportsperson is found to be under the influence - they get banned! If you can't do the time - don't do the crime! He (or anyone else) has no right to work if banned by their affiliated organisation and absolutely nothing to do with human rights!!

That is hardly a ban! He is not in the SGPs so would effectively miss out on the SWC - wow what a big punishment - NOT!

Who do you suggest then?

Definitely Swindon - I've seen him stand near the starting gate near the blue railings Nice tweets from Zengi: Swindon Robins 2015!!! I'm back to my first club in England. I had a nice memories ride for Robins few years ago. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/Ht3S6ukLKc 2/2 I hope that I can do many good work for you. See you at Abbey in march guysLike my FanPage on facebook Zengi Racing - Grzegorz Zengota

Apparently we are buying Batch with the Doyle money Same could be said about AJ - and he's back!

What about KK for the last spot? He had a very good year last year too

No one expected Darcy to be at Swindon - except Poole fans trying to stir it!

Pleased with Zengi - now need a big hitter!

The test that was performed says he was - durrr!

It must be remembered that either he was over the limit or he wasn't!!

What is it with Leicester and Swindon assets? Last year they were like the Swindon B team and this year it's looking like Swindon will be the B team if Doyle and Miedzinski are there

Can't believe anyone is stupid enough to buy one without knowing the team!

Nope - Lakeside

I hear what you say but who else is there out there thatA. Wants to ride in the UK B. Has the right average (and can increase it) C. Is affordable Unless Rosco pulls the proverbial "rabbit out of the hat", I can't see Swindon making the playoffs!

I think it has to be Mads - he has a low average and can improve and usually rides Blunsdon well. It would need a top rider to complete the team though. I think Bjarne is Leicester bound.

You don't have to agree and you have made some good points. I remember BV teams with Crump at #1 - he scored the majority of the points in matches and the rest limped home in 3rd or 4th. AJ will do well in this year's league - as he hasn't really got to try hard has he? Bech is continuing to grow but not really a heat leader (although other teams will be in the same position). Nilsson has been around for a while and never the first name in team declarations (usually the last) - I wonder why that is? Lawson is a great rider - made good progress last year and always liked watching his dad at Glasgow too. Kennett is an enigma - hence the reason why he is the annual journeyman - he can be great and can be woeful - Lakeside's season will depend on which one turns up most often - at Swindon, he had a good home average but was dreadful away and I can't see that changing. From the hype around Ellis I expected him to be in the FTR group A but he didn't have a great season so needs to recapture past promise and I like Birks and he should do well as your senior reserve - I wish he was back at Swindon but it's not to be. So a pretty average looking team which should finish outside the playoffs again - definitely won't be bottom though!

I didn't say he had but you have to ask how he got to the track and I'm pretty sure it is breaking the law to take control of a powered vehicle while intoxicated (even a push bike too). As many have said if the process hasn't been followed to the letter we may see him getting off on a technicality. I would like to see him ride but only after he serves a suitable punishment and for me that would be at least a one year ban - returning to the track in August this year! He does seem pretty confident on Twitter though so we will probably see him back sooner.

No it's not - same old, same old. Lakeside, Eastbourne and BV haven't been crowd pullers at Swindon for a number of years because, apart from a couple of freak results, they usually get mashed!

:rofl: Right to work? That's hilarious - any criminals out there should try that one in court and watch everyone laugh. I think that's the funniest thing I've read on here in a while!

It's MJJ and we don't want his fan club at Swindon. It seems the one we had has gone quiet or changed his name - who knows? Who cares!

And what kind of message would that be? If you are a professional driver and get caught for drink driving do you think you would be allowed only to do your professional driving but not your leisure driving? Don't see why speedway (or sport in general) would treat this serious issue any differently!

They will have the crowds flooding back those 3! In order of above - definitely not (even if we had to run with a 6 man team), rather stick a hot poker in my eyes and maybe! None have the Wow factor and Bjarne probably the best of a very bad bunch!!
