Quick question for them what know. If I follow my sat nav am I likely to get lost and confussed when I get to the new road it doesn't know exists? If so, which set of traffic lights do I turn right at? :lol: (thanks in advance)

My sat nav certainly got confused coming back from Wolverhampton when I had to turn down past the stadium. It said to turn right - yet a right turn was there none! Instead I had to turn left. My advice - wait for it to say "turn right" then keep going a bit (you'll know when - there's no right turn) and take the next left.

 

I think.

Cheers mate. I think I'll hope to see a white van with 'International Speedway Rider' on the side and just follow that. :lol: Actually, Midland Robin only lives up the road and round the corner (relatively speaking). I'll tail gate him as he passes by and heads for the motorway. :lol:

I think there is a sign on the A419 approaching the stadium area that says something like 'for stadium and landfill site follow signs for Blunsdon', so just do that and hope for the best!

On the Swindon website it says Crump can't ride. Troy Bachelor in his place.

 

Iversen has also pulled out of the meeting without explanation. Lewis Bridger in for him.

Adder - There wasnt!

I know that you didnt have a sign until you got up and off the 419.

The way I remember it is - when you see the old road off to the left take the next exit!!!! And follow the signs from there!

 

But as far as 21st is concerned he can leave his push bike here and I will drive from my place. He has to go past the front door almost! (A429)

Having done a 'rider-appeal' scale this is how I will be supporting

 

 

 

Swindon Robins - got 12 out of 20

 

Oxford Cheetahs got 10 out of 20 (No JC and no PUK otherwise they would have been on a 13!)

 

Cradley Heathens got 6 out of 20

 

Reading Racers got 4 out of 20

 

 

So -

GO ROBINS :lol:

Just confirms my own personal opinion of the the Chapmans....................

 

From the Swindon website........

 

REGRETABLY, Kings Lynn have refused to allow Darcy Ward permission to ride in Thursday's 4 Team Tournament.

 

Co-Promoter Gary Patchett adds: 'I received a phone call from Rob Lyon, earlier this evening, advising me that Darcy riding tomorrow was against their wishes and that the rider was withdrawing on that basis. I cannot but think that this is part of a pre-conceived agenda on the part of the Kings Lynn promotion after the protracted transfer of Troy Batchelor to Swindon. Considering Jonathan Chapman was sat opposite me all day yesterday at a promoter's meeting in Rugby I would have thought that he might have remembered to mention it to me then.

 

What they (the KL promotion) clearly do not appreciate is that by doing this they are depriving the broader speedway public of the opportunity to see one of the sports outstanding prospects. This meeting was never about Swindon, but about the plight of Cradley, Oxford and Reading. Considering the Chapman's involvement in the Leicester project I would have thought they would be sympathetic to the cause. Obviously not. Using the rider as a pawn in this way is disgraceful.

 

Eastbourne's Australian star Cameron Woodward steps in and we are grateful to him for accepting our invitation, at this late stage.'

Confirms a lot of peoples personal opinions of them Zeistsport. Bet they're in demand come pancake day! :angry:

 

Whilst I was looking forward to seeing Darcy race live for the first time, the line up is still a good 'un.

 

C'mon you Racers!!!! :lol:
