Swindon 2015


Recommended Posts

I think I read that Hans improved his average at Coventry. That said, the harsh reality in my opinion is that sadly he is on the decline and would be a huge risk as a number one. Sure, he's still a winner and at times as feisty as ever, but he gets beaten far too often by lesser riders nowadays.

I would prefer Holder as our number one if available. Yes he is a Poole asset, but he would deliver home and away. He has stated he likes the Blunsdon track and would put a few on the attendance.

I suspect that Poole might want to field the turbo twins again - meaning Magic can concentrate on the SGPs. Just a feeling I have and not based on anything I've read.

Sad to see that Simon Stead has been officially transferred to Sheffield today-bye Simon and thanks for some thrilling speedway, especially Heat 1 at Poole 2012 in the final, which set us on our way to the title!

It is a pity that we have not seen him ride at Swindon as a guest since we won the title. Wish him all the best at Sheffield where he seems to be happy, but speaking to him last year he would have liked to have ridden for the Robins if Sheffield raced on a different night. Would like to see him in the Bob Kilby meeting next March if available.

I hope Rosco gives Darryl some time on the track after the meetings, so that if we have a meeting where Lewis is riding elsewhere we can pick him as a guest at home, subject to how he performs on his comeback with which ever club he joins.

 

At least Darryl has his NL place secured at Coventry! :t:

His last bend win against Eastbourne at home to secure all the points and after a poor meeting at Coventry finally making a terrific start to get a vital 5-1 for the Robins in heat 12 ensuring all three away points are two particular good memories I have of Steady.

 

Got a lot of stick for some of his away performances did Simon, but was always a whole hearted trier. One of the most popular riders in recent times at Blunsdon.

Will be Doyley following Steady out of the permanent door next.....

He might as well if we are not using him but I would prefer to see him in the side for 2015. I would rather use him than Kildemand, as he will probably be chasing a GP place again & giving prominence to the Polish league. To me Killer had a really mixed season this year & went from brilliant to dire at times. Whether it was a physical fitness or mental tiredness issue, I am not sure but he really struggled at times. Likewise, Batch had real problems with machinery at times & at times we were a 6 man team.
