BritPete Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 There's also the financial side to this. If you were holding the purse strings for Swindon speedway, what would you have done? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yes sidders me daughter lives off Grange Drive decent nosh there,I lived on Ermin Street 84-88 wasn't very good then...other good 'uns I've tried are Beechcroft Road, Roughmoor, West Swindon Centre, Pavenhill, Purton. Don't like the shops where they don't cook it fresh such as our local at Redhouse. Not many traditional English chippies around now.Still looking for a decent Indian/Chinese in Swindonia..if they ain't got that hygiene rating sticker I don't go in.Can you remember "Haydon in Ermin street the old chip shop? in the late 60s early 70s which became a bookies ( Lou Macari.!!).And down Ermin Street they had a great baker shop and another shop called a silly name it was called Ethel Ducks a really decent shop. Andersen is riding in the SEC meeting on Saturday. Looking at the available guests, the options actually look stronger than if Adrian or Batchelir had been riding in current form. Leicester will also need a guest for Walasek of similar avg to Batchelor with the 5% plus one for Auty. I guess it depends on how many have got lunch time meetings in Poland the next day as this can sometimes but some riders off. Is Auty back on the tenth for Scunny?I agree, I like Howarth and reckon he has more to give yet. But I don't want any other team getting the benefit of Jacob and Tobby on low averages and why should we use Kyle to get his average down for next season. We need someone to beef up our top end, not middle order.Musielak given time will do very well i hope Wolves persevere and reap the benefit in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratton Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I am really pleased today Ward it will be great to see him for the rest of the season and the Czech i see him last year in the world team cup and he has real ability.Now we have to go on and reach the play/offs,i hope the club make a few quid on the gate because of Ward and will he be available Monday Probably No.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ward may ride on Saturday but deffo Monday. The article makes interesting reading, he talks about Poole a lot, but i know he will be giving his all for Swindon until the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Dear oh dear you couldn't make it up. Expect Gavan along anytime now to have a go at Swindon for dropping Kyle,after all he spent the best part of two years doing that everytime he posted on a poole thread. slight difference though Swindon are dropping 2 riders to fit in 2 better riders. Poole chopped out Howarth for Mickey Dyer a scandalous decision. No i dont agree with a young brit being dropped but then its to make the team stronger which is what you are supposed to do to be successful. Howarth for Dyer was at best like for like for no reason And i love how my name gets dropped into a SWINDON thread from a Poole fan on a topic that has nothing to do with Poole. I think you Poole fans are obsessed with me no the other way round! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 2 great signings for the Robins there, Eduard looks a steal on a 4.50 average when he settles down, certainly worth a punt at 17's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly likely in my opinion he will try and stop Poole Thanks Pirates back from Cyprus on Monday can't wait should be a bumper crowd at a tenner a head.One thing no one has mentioned fair play to Poole agreeing to this especially it being Swindon.They will benefit in the long run get Ward back next year regrouped ready to have a go at the WC i wish i could go to Melbourne later in the year it should be great. Fair play to Poole? why? Poole have nothing to lose and evrything to gain by allowing Darcy to ride for Swindon. He will get his fitness and race sharpness back. If his average goes up then it wont be by loads maybe half a point and if his average goes down then happy days more points to play with. Poole speedway have done the right thing in letting Darcy ride elsewhere as it will help them long term. I dont know why you think Poole wouldnt to be honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 hand on heart do you think he will give his all? what if swindon come up against Poole in the play offs. Hardly likely in my opinion he will try and stop Poole I think he will. Once the tapes go up Darcy only knows how to do one thing, race hard to the line. He may struggle to team ride as much as he used to - unless of course he's thinking of his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly likely in my opinion he will try and stop Poole He will he needs to get back on track,get real sharpness and earn some real money i believe Ford/Middlo except it and know that Ward is a racer and will always give his all.Have you Forgot? Poole are a bloody good side and are still favourites without Ward to win the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Mixed feelings about this not a fan of Ward the person and even more so with his Poole roots and also gutted for Howarth who has gave nothing but 100 % . But from Rosco's point of view and with no other number one's about I guess he had to make the change even thou it was hard for him to dropped Howarth .. I don't think anyone doubts the talent of Ward the rider and he will doubt bring the crowds in home and away and that can only be good for British speedway . Don't know much about Kramer v Kramer to know if it will make us stronger so we will have to wait and see . The one bit of garbage about this deal is that Rosco as the British manager should keep Brits in a job. that is total guff . Rosco job as Swindon main man to is to put out the best possible team out for Swindon if that means no Brits then so be it . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play Orion you are right about Rosco, he had to make a difficult decision Ward i believe you will go there open minded and judge the rider forget the past. But he cannot afford anymore slip ups he has to be squeaky clean for a while the Czech i believe he is decent the abbey should suit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game On Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 What a prat you are, who knows Ward might not do EL next year? We all know where he will be next year and he will use your club to ensure he has a nice average too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) We all know where he will be next year and he will use your club to ensure he has a nice average too.Please is he worried about pocket money in t he EL ? Britain is a hassle for most top riders you are lucky he even considers our league i know he loves Poole and that is great i am certain he will do well for the Robins.
