CaptainAudi Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've quite enjoyed that Link Sport website Orlov has posted links to, loads of variety and quite like the Secret Rider they do. He hasn't said anything hugely controversial yet though, which is a shame. Hope it's a real rider and not made up http://www.swindonlinksport.com/subcategory/swindon-speedway/secret-rider. Sure it is real though. Not looking to start a debate on who the rider is, but just from reading it, I get the impression that it is Bomber Harris.

A ORLOV Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 When PK and MJJ have met, then PK has almost always come out on top. It's a joke that PK, will not be in the GP series next year, and an even bigger joke that THJ will. MJJ didn't do very much when he had a good run in the GP's this season & is not the rider he was 2 seasons ago. There was always going to be a Swede so I guess it was a straight choice between the 2 other Danes but as I said for me it's Killer every time. The GP is a poorer series without him that's for sure. Killer has been named as first reserve for the 2015 GP Series, but I agree with the above posts. I do not wish any of those in the series to have an injury but if given the chance he could do well.

TitusTokio Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I thought it might be Craig Cook? Kildemand's in as GP first reserve http://www.swindonlinksport.com/swindon_sports_news/speedway-gp Probably bad news for the Robins as no doubt adds dates to his schedule Snap, Orlov!

Crazy robin Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Honest comments from Rosco but sorry don't agree with Steve being in the top 2 of the draft riders as Newman, Garrity, Kerr, Blackbird were all better than him & sadly Steve went missing in the play offs. Looks like Nathan & his dad are just what most sons & parents are in sport these days as just don't want to take advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Agree with Rosco that it would be a good idea to have the reserve pairing made up of 1 FTD and 1 British rider. Don't think it would help British speedway having reserves from other countries starting at reserve. Also keep it so they always stay at reserve like this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had the two draft riders this year there's no way we should ever go back to having foreign reserves. Would render the exercise completely pointless. Need to stick with the draft, in some form or other, forever now in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it would help British speedway having reserves from other countries starting at reserve. Also keep it so they always stay at reserve like this year. Well done. Thats the first sensible comment ive ever seen you make. Should be the top 8 from this year along with Birks, Roynon, Auty and riders of that type. No protected rides either. Time for the likes of Newman and Garrity to face the top boys. They wont progress otherwise. I think they are capable though. I have hated the draft mainly because most of the riders ive seen have been awful. But I have to agree strongly with the point that I never want to see foreign riders at reserve again so 2 Britsh riders at reserve will do me nicely as long as fits in with the criteria above. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAudi Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thing is, is there 8 riders along the lines of Birks, Roynon and Auty? Richie Worrall may just be pushing the boundaries, Rob Lambert? Howarth? Lawson? Would it be worth them giving up 2nd string roles for the scheme? Can't think of any in the PL alone who would fit apart from the above 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of any in the PL alone who would fit apart from the above 3. You're right, Monarch. At the age they are and with the length of time they've ridden in the EL, there is no way Lawson and Auty should be involved in any sort of fast track scheme. Yes, we want to help Brits, but do we need to be 'fast tracking' 25-28 year olds who have had their chances already? If you have an eight of Birks, Lambert, Blackbird (who's already pushing the age boundary but was at least already in the draft), Worrall x2, Garrity, Newman and Kerr as the eight lead reserves, then that leaves the likes of Ellis, Nielsen etc to be the second which makes a much stronger package. It's far from set in stone there will be a FTD rider moving into the top five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nathan Greaves has been stood down from the Bob Kilby meeting on thurs http://swindonlinksport.com/swindon_sports_news/greavesstooddown Oh dear! I think he may have shot himself in the foot there. Might be a very short career in speedway for him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) The Swindon camp sounds how it came across during the season with zero team spirit. That said Nathan does seem to have a terrible attitude (as he showed with Cradley recently at Brandon) not sure how he can call Rosco a amateur Edited October 21, 2014 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Greaves said: In response, Greaves questioned the leadership of Rossiter and Batchelor on Facebook, and said the reason the Robins dropped out of the play-offs was down to the lack of team spirit in the Swindon camp. Greaves wrote: Im not one for doing this but I really cant help it, Roscos review on the season is all rubbish, you all think hes an amazing manager? Theres so many things fans unbeknown to the fans what is proof of him being amateur, and troy a good captain? Hes by far the worst captain out there, he didnt help me once, neither did he even speak to me, one night I was stood outside the changing rooms and a little girl asked me to ask Troy how long he was going to be so he could have his picture took, I asked Troy, and he just totally ignored me. The only thing good about Swindon is the fans. They stuck by me throughout, and the comment he made about my dad, the race I was beating Nick Morris, Nick raced me into the corner passed me, all my dad did was go to Rosco and say nicely why Rosco why did he do that what if Nath fell off then it wouldnt be a five one, why couldnt he protect him? Rosco stood there and said nothing, really sorry but its annoying how everyone on here has a false impression of what really goes on, Coventry beat us, because there better riders helped the other riders and they were a team Swindon was every man for them selves.

Panthers89 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sounds like a case of yeah your probably right Nathan, but keep your thoughts to yourself sadly. Couldn't imagine troy to be a decent captain mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluTiger Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not surprised regarding his comments about Troy, however i would take the rest of it with a pinch of salt... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
