Totally agree except for the very last bit... fans will not travel. Something very strange going on at Swindon, haven't really been following what's going on too closely but like you say they appear to have a new stadium a recently built track within that stadium and a promoters licence on ice... but no Speedway!

The thing is would the likes of Simpson give up his full time job if offered a team spot for the whole season? If not you wonder why he's riding speedway in the Academy, because sooner or later he's going to have to make a decision on whether he wants to be a Speedway rider or not.

I don't want to go on about it (honestly) but I don't think I've ever seen a rider so clearly far out of his depth stay in a team for so long. He's got an average of 0.65 and has only scored 8 points all season and 5 of those were gifted as there was no rider behind him due to exclusions/ef's!

Even if they weren't stronger, British and bad would be preferable to foreign and bad. They do have an academy but still elect not to track a single British rider now Craig Cook appears to have left the scene!

Scorpions giving the Monarchs a lesson on how to pass on their own track. Bit of a mismatch this

Maybe... they can't all be like that surely

Can anybody explain to me why Dayle Wood is taking the team spot of a British youngster?

What's the score with Edinburgh at the moment? Are they finishing at Armadale at the end of the season like they were last year?

Used to be a great little race track... the fans never really seemed to buy into it though

I think @Bagpuss or @Lefty know more than they're letting on

True, and Birmingham and Oxford, I just don't think these speculative stories helps anybody really

Correct... not quite sure why he's wearing an Aces race jacket

Nope... to my knowledge the race jacket is quite the red herring. A clue... he is the father of a current rider who is not currently riding in this country but has done in the very recent past

Nope

I remember even further back in the SS... Dublin! All to be taken with a very large bucket of salt

Unless there's some kind of magical land in the back of a wardrobe where do they expect to find land where everybody else has failed for the last 27 years? I do wish these things weren't given the oxygen of publicity, it just gives fans false hope

Haha! Scunny fans... part timers!

Scunny got their finger on the self destruct button!

Thanks... Cue the obvious jokes

Who is the referee please?

Wroclaw! Based on an assumption that Woffy has smuggled it out there somehow

Andersen was also pretty good at the start of the next year from memory when he did get a permanent spot until his engine went bang at Peterborough one night and he was never quite the same again Tommy Knudsen is the other one often referenced... but if you look at Andreas Jonsson's GP record, he really should have done a lot better in terms of a seasons rostrum and the ultimate prize

Long Eaton again?
