I know Rossiter tries to look like a teenager. 

But does he really need to come across as a petulant adolescent in his public statements too ?

Never been a fan of Rossiter...always remember when he came onto the third bend terracing at Cowley once to talk to some Poole fans and in earshot of "Cheetahs" fans condemned them. Perhaps their dislike of him carried over from the incident that ultimately ended Andy Hackett's career? I didn't witness it personally but was informed about it by those that did.

Rosco and Kilby will be the death of the club. Swindon need someone with some backbone to question and provide answers from the developers .Rather than  saying it will  happen like a scene out of Field of Dreams.

Fair enough if that's how you feel. I would suggest though that you put yourself forward, make an offer to the promotion and put your money where your mouth is.

The usual stock answer. Which is a fair answer, but doesn't help the future of speedway. :(

Is that the answer to any critcism.? Nearly as stupid  as asking fans if they have ever  ridden a  speedway bike.

Trouble is that the promoter of any particular team often doesn't own the stadium and are therefore often compromised by their landlord's whims. We experienced it often enough at Cowley and remember when Bristol Stadiums Ltd owned Oxford Stadium and put the venture at risk (!975) until the SOS Committee stepped in at the last minute. Oxford enjoyed great stability during the Northern Sports era but after their collapse the stadium's future was always under threat although Steve Purchase did offer continuity but only leased the stadium.

Yes i have. I lasted half a lap on the track spare at Wimbledon before hitting the fence. It looks easy, until you start to turn left!

I attended one of Olle Nygren's Training Schools just to say I gave it a try and gain respect for those who go out and entertain us not that I needed confirmation of that.
