Woz01 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) As said on the KL thread why would it depend on what meeting was arranged first - he is a contracted Swindon asset required by this team on that night. When did we give foreign teams priority to use our riders when in the UK? He has to ride for Swindon regardless of when the meetings were arranged. Doesn't matter if he's an asset, he's contracted to both clubs so whichever meeting was arranged first he rides for that club unless there is either a deal between the clubs so he could ride at one or simply his polish club dont require him for that meeting. Whatever the reason it seems he will ride for Swindon so a bit of common sense has prevailed. Edited March 4, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say common sense has prevailed but in the UK they are both contracted to one club - Swindon so I think it does matter that they ride for their UK club. It does seem that someone at Swindon dropped a clanger though as Rosco was thanking KL for their understanding in getting matters resolved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Rosco must be to blame over this, he shouldn't have given permission to his two riders in the first place!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLStars98 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Common sense (or according to poor old Buster) 'fan power has prevailed as we have 'recalled' Doyle into our line up that night..what a bloody nerve the so called supremo of speedway has whining about the possibility of Rosco bowing to 'fan pressure'..just shows he's yet another head of the BSPA that will feather is own bed first, mind you the fact we gave him permission in the first place p****s me off or was that merely the Chairman using his pulling power? Tell ya what Chapman you can stick your challenge meeting right up your rear end How the hell can you accuse Buster of trying to take Doyle when Rosco said it was fine? Think it's more a case of someone at Swindon cocking up! How can you not realise that you have a meeting on that date and allow another team to use their rider?!!

Bagpuss Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I think Grachan has summed it up well on the Lynn thread, all parties at fault in some way and common sense has prevailed ultimately. Its just another episode which makes British Speedway look amateurish though which is a shame as the season hasn't even started yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fine rider. He just needs to cut out the falls whilst miles in front. How does he do that so often is my question. Does he lose concentration? Can't ever think of the likes of Olsen, Mauger, Rickardsson and Hancock doing it. I reckon PK has done this maybe half a dozen times, and that's just riding for Swindon! Something else I've noted with PK is that there has been an element of 'diving' which seems to have crept into his riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Somerset fan all I can say is it would have been very disappointing if Doyle and Morris hadn't been there. I am however disappointed, Doyle especially, agreed to it in the first place, seeing as he still is Mr. Somerset to us.

Speedway can still be a tremendous sport but it is run so badly at almost all levels. It is interesting to compare the promotional efforts of your ice hockey Wildcats and the speedway, the Wildcats seem so on the ball. A shame then my local team is Bracknell Seriously hope the Robins get a grip and start promoting the sport far more. This confusion over March 18 makes them look incompetent and it is a bad build up to a season where the EL may struggle to hold on to even 8 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I'd say its pretty clear that Lynn, Swindon and Doyle are all at fault in part. Communication was obviously not great for things to get as far as they did and the lack of an outspoken press release from Rosco to in reply to Lynn's once Doyle had withdrawn suggests they knew all along. As has been said common sense has prevailed and we'll probably never know the crux of what went on so I don't think there is any real value in posturing, mud slinging and oneupmanship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Morris and Doyle have confirmed they were given permission to ride at Lynn. Swindon have said they have 'recalled' riders.. you don't 'recall' someone you never gave permission to ride elsewhere. Well done Swindon fans though, you've managed to p*** off your riders before the season has even started All for a meaningless meet that 99% of those Swindon fans whinging won't be attending.

Very odd how you seem to imply that the Swindon riders should have ridden at King's Lynn and ride in "a meaningless meet" when you have already conceded that the King's Lynn meeting was equally "meaningless". No point in letting honesty get in the way of a good stir-up is there? It was the Somerset fans and promotion that I was caring more about since I expect they were all looking forward to seeing Jason Doyle around the OTA again. I forget, the needs of the PL are irrelevant to you highly-superior Elite League supporters. Anyway, isn't all sport ultimately meaningless? I'd have thought a good night out seeing how your side copes against higher league opposition and seeing the former number one again would be enough 'meaning' for a first meeting of the year. "Meaningless" - the cancer of modern speedway. 'Meaningless' second halves 'Meaningless' match races 'Meaningless' pairs events 'Meaningless' fours 'Meaningless' individuals 'Meaningless' test matches 'Meaningless' cup ties .... 'Meaningless' league matches 'Meaningless' speedway? So, we gradually eat away at the sport with cynicism to achieve.....what?

BWitcher Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've not said they should have rode in the other meet at all. I've simply stated they clearly wanted to ride in the other meet and have been prevented from doing so by a bunch of fans, the vast majority of which won't be attending the Somerset meeting anyway. By the way, I totally agree with you that it was the Somerset fans who were going to be missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) This may be normal for planning issues, but there are issues re the amount of parking spaces and movement of vehicles and people at the proposed stadium. http://pa1.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/files/6F0CA6A306087CFDB17CE9C15A5B8D83/pdf/S_RES_16_0036-HIGHWAYS_COMMENTS_-_26-02-16-523462.pdf Edited March 7, 2016 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
