Reliant Robin

Early to mid January is when I've heard work on the track is going to start giving 2.5-3 months. Not a whole new track, so should be plenty of time to sort out.

Fines and charges for what? Late payment of riders? Doesn't ring true to me and sounds like a smoke screen for non payment

Expected Shanes to be the 7th man and happy with that line-up. Good entertainment value, and whilst most teams still have plenty to announce, I think we'll be back at the right end of the table in 2019.

How is it that BSPA are preventing Stuart Douglas from making payments to riders? Surely even the mighty BSPA aren't that powerful? I hope Lakeside can get something sorted soon and we can see the Hammers back in competitive action in the not too distant future

Other routes would have meant Zach starting in the main body of the team I'd imagine. In Lampart we have someone who raced at No.1 last season in a side also with Robert Lambert, Sam Masters & Andreas Jonsson. Take a little look at his scores over the last couple of seasons, I think a lot are under estimating him. Time will tell, but pleased with it all so far. Assuming Zach is in, if Shanes can be the last one in then I think we'll be all good

Correct, would be a minimum of 4

I wouldn't be against that, enjoy watching him ride and never knows when he's beaten

Statement of intent from the Robins, happy chappy today!

Morris and Rasmus Jensen/Jake Allen would make it a decent line-up

Happens in other countries and other sports. Football (Soccer) in America operates the same way for one

There'll be another 2-3 home fixtures in this other competition if it's a group thing

Reducing the strength of the Championship is the correct move both in terms of putting a gap between the products and financially for Championship Clubs. Maintaining the strength in Premiership is a start Plan to reduce doubling up/down over time is the correct move. Doesn't explain how much doubling up/down is to be allowed in 2019? Monday & Thursday race nights is the right call and should reduce guests/RR still further. Sad to see Somerset go, enjoyed the 'derbies' with them over the last couple of years. Supporters Cup is a terrible name and sounds a gimmicky idea for the sake of it. Why not bring back something meaningful as a start of season competition such as the Craven Shield....possibly run over a 13 heat format. Will be interesting to see how those nominations go and how they put the idea into practice. Raise of hands!!

And go to the highest bidder. Scrapping the asset system would result in even higher costs for Clubs.....those Clubs that anyone can see must be struggling financially. It would mean more money out of Clubs and more into the riders. Speedway in the UK has far bigger issues than the 'asset system'.

Good days, but that league isn't the same now either. Personally glad and grateful to have had the chance to watch the likes of Adams, Zagar, Richardson, Ward, Doyle, Janowski and countless other top notch riders wearing Robins colours since then.

But if we somehow pull off a miracle and beat them along with your lads on 6th, could be getting a bit squeeky

We'll all have our fingers crossed for no rain on 10th September I'm sure

You are correct.....some just like to continue harping on about needing a change without offering up any potential solutions....certainly none I have seen that would be of any benefit.

Reading between the lines, I don't think he's saying it doesn't need changes (certainly if any attempt to retain the title is to be made), but that there aren't changes out there that will make our team any stronger. Big difference. Take a look at Leicester

Lee Richardson's transfer to Swindon would be up there I'd imagine. Not quite the 35k mark if memory serves me

They won't have seen that on Updates

Says his average was 3.00 when dropped from Leicester

James Sarjeant would be an improvement if the averages given are correct

You're right, probably better to just shut up shop now! They must know it's the last season, why else would they be giving a big push in local schools, offering discounts/free entry to newcomers brought along. Why else would they have laid out on 4 riders in the last 2 seasons. It all falls into place now. Maybe it's just another part of the cover up/conspiracies.

Nick Morris....who has been with the Club for 7 seasons progressing, voted fans rider of the year in our title winning season, and you'd like to see him dropped for a possible title this year? Dropping him for a Pole with the reason that Nick isn't interested in British racing?! Seems a little backward and short term to me.

I'd like to think this could be a close one tonight, but only takes one of our top 5 to have an off night to make that not the case. 48-42 to the Stars for this one. I've just about dusted off from Monday and looking to head over for this one
