it's because heat 15 is a nominated riders race, so Bachelor had to be replaced by another rider who is eligible for heat 15.

Can someone point out to these commentators that Swindon also lost 2 riders during the course of the meeting. Great last race there. Made up for the TR cock-up.

Swindon now a 5 man team btw.

That's what I thought. Not what they are saying on tv though.

If Batch can't ride is it a reserve out or another nom rider?

Fair play to Leicester who are really getting stuck in If Morris had been a TR and won heat 9 it would be level now.

The most Swindon can gain from deliberately losing the race is one point. If Nilsson wins here Leicester have gained.

Morris chucking the race here. Bad tactics all round.

Is it ok to fence the opposition then? Further proof here that we cocked up on the tactical.

I know that.

Yeah. If Morris doesn't win we are stuffed anyway so put him on it. Rosco is thinking about 8-1 I suspect.

Best way to get to know about Cardiff coaches is to join the Swindon supporters Facebook page. It tends to get arranged through there.

Yes, although it is already full.

We originally thought we had a chance, but your arguments that Swindon are rubbish were so convincing that we believed you.

Not really much of an apology. More like apportioning blame onto the riders - which may or may not be the case. He's basically saying: "Sorry, but it was riders' fault not mine".

Wow! Great win. If Swindon can get into the play offs and have a full strength side we could be dangerous! Five points from our new Pole. Just what we need.

I watched this last night. Most noticeable thing, after watching speedway on these tracks, is how slow it looked in comparison. Interesting that Kevin Doolan took part in one of the races. Not surprisingly, with speedway experience, he won it.

My point exactly.

Polish crowd levels can sustain 3 rounds. I'm not sure Britain could sustain 2 until they can sell out one.

I don't belive it's as straight forward as a Woffy v Rosco thing. Even if Tai isn't particularly happy with Rosco's management style (ie he picks the team and runs it rather than Woffy doing it or is too much "one of the lads") this goes much deeper than that. Why would Woffy not ride in the British final because Rosco is Team GB manager? We've had riders and managers quitting for many years now. There are clearly problems that cause the top riders/managers so much frustration that they feel they can't ride. These have gone on before Rosco was manager and will go on after unless there are big changes. We need Woffinden in the side, but he can't just choose not to ride because he doesn't approve of the manager and I don't believe that is his reason - even if he isn't happy with Rosco.

He tweeted that he was back in hospital in Poland after being "banged up".

No Jason Doyle tonight.

Is he the guy who used a term to describe Rohan Tungate, that also resulted in a Tory MP getting sacked this week as a result using the same term?

How is this significant? I assume that you are indicating here that the Team GB build up was very different. If so, how?

Any good? Can't tell one Pole from another these days. If he scores to his average then job done.
