Swindon 2016 - A New Era Starts...we Thought..


Recommended Posts

I'd be happy with that if I was a Swindon fan.

Happy with it but the improvement will have to come from the bottom 5 riders as Doyley might improve his average but can't see Zengi getting anywhere near his as a heat leader.

 

They will be inconsistent but at least they'll all give it their all unlike our supposed captain last season.

Yeah what happened their then with Eddie as Lakeside had priority?.

That was an agreement between Jon Cook and Len Silver. Ed was a Coventry asset when Lakeside signed him which would have given Lakeside priority but then became a Rye House asset which technically gave Rye House priority. Reading between the lines it seems Ed was not happy about that because fixture clashes would be costing him money. According to Jon Cooks programme notes it was agreed between promotions that Lakeside would have priority for their home matches and Rye House would have priority when Lakeside were riding away. I think there was also some kind of arrangement whereby he formally became a Rye asset after some sort of cut off date .

 

This is always a problem when a rider signs for an EL club and another PL club buys him before the season starts. A similar situation arose with Richard Lawson. When there are fixture clashes not only to fans miss their rider but the rider himself looses money because he misses a meeting for one or other club.

 

From what I have heard I think the fixtures are being arranged differently next year to keep fixture clashes to a minimum but I don't know the details. Whether it works out in practice remains to be seen.

But then again, you don't go very often, so it shouldn't affect you too much!
