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


Recommended Posts

The sooner this aforementioned list is published the better!!

Regarding the point about Batchelors potential to improve upon his current average. I don't dispute that, my issue and the issue of others is more with his lack of performance when it really mattered and subsequent comments.

I'd love to see Michelson or ThJ, what average Kornelliussen?

Potential to improve? Can't see it to be honest. Lost his bottle. And it often rains in England so we have the odd wet track from time to time.

Like others, I don't watch Batch back, he's 'burnt his bridges' with Swindon, especially after his recent comments..

 

Would love Zengi to return, but is he worth a 7.79 average (probably not), the same can be said for Aaron Summers although both did an excellent job for the Robins this year.

 

I would think Morra is a certainty and I would love to see Killer back as he can certainly up his average and is great to watch...

 

Would like to see Charles Wright return too..

 

Was disappointed we didn't snap up Hans !

 

As for Doyle, I'm not convinced he's worth his average, but Darcy showed what a proper No 1 can do for the team #DW43

 

Anyway hopefully Rosco et al will ensure the Robins are there or there abouts next season (assuming track availability).. :t:

Don't hold your breath, the list won't be published before the AGM & I'm sure that those rules will get a tweak rather than be rubber stamped at the AGM. Rosco said in his recent interview that some promoters thought the changes weren't quite right.

 

It may not even be published then. In Speedway Star CVS was asked by Paul Burbidge if they were publishing the list. His answer was: "I couldn't answer that at the moment. We conclude the AGM on November 3rd and maybe I can raise that question. I couldn't give you an answer yes or no."

I would not want Batch in my team either, decent rider, on his day can be very good but that is all few and far between, he seems to have a big attitude problem which is the main reason most would leave him alone, funny enough though if he was to ride for Poole I think he would pull his socks up a bit such is the pressure to perform there plus Ford and Middlo would have the bottle and asset list to replace him which he would be mindful of.

Can anyone post a few pics of the new track taking shape?

 

Only five months to the start of the 2016 season so the new back straight bogs should have the footings in by now. I hear they are scraping the smelly moldy green gunk off the walls of the old one and plastering in the new ones so the old folks can reminisce.
