Gutted Morra is leaving - hoping he is going to Wolves which was the original rumour months ago. So does this mean that Batch is staying? If not, why not announce him at the same time?

Not unexpected but he did a good job for the team for the last two years - better than anyone anticipated!

Hard to overlook Harris after his heroics in the play-offs. Need to remember though he was only signed when Rye House closed - so Poole missed his usual first half of the season issues

Phew!

A poor signing for any team!

Nope - the new track and riding with Doyley will be good for him

You seem very interested in Morris. I’m sure you will find out in good time and put you out of your misery. He will have signed a contract before he flew home and it will be announced in due course. Who that’s for we will all have to wait and see!

Having signed Doyle - the writing was on the wall for Troy. He may still figure but team would be weaker further down - and we did that last year!

Welcome back Muesli

A change of track is what Nick needs to rebuild his confidence and that's what he would get if he stayed at Swindon. With him and Rosco being close and the loyalty he and the club have shown to each other, I would be surprised if he was to leave Blunsdon for the coming season - especially with such an attractive average having just signed one of the top riders in the league with a high average.

Better than Wrighty and can increase his average? Not even in the same league IMHO

Who is that then? Someone affordable and capable of increasing their average?

Looks like a wooden spoon team IMHO

I know he can be a pain at times but he did well at Swindon last season and was good for KL prior to “trackgate”.

Batchelor may be available now

Great news

Yes but they were all riding for KL!

That should get them going again

Pure lies!!

He doesn’t - he’s a troll

What average would Sedgmen be (he has signed for Edinburgh)?

I don’t think anyone is obsessed - but he is popular with the fans and can easily improve his average. The core of the team should be the same as the last two seasons as they were successful and Rosco needs to understand why the team didn’t turn up for the second half of the season. We also need 7 riders who can score points consistently- as we were a 6 man team all of last season.

Why would we want to buy Batch? You can have him next season and we’ll keep Nick!

Can I just point out that a few seasons ago Swindon wanted to use Adrian Medzienski but he decided to go to Poole. Swindon said he was only available if purchased and not loaned and arbitration decided he could be loaned. So the precedence has been set!
