Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

Do not forget, 6.30 at the stadium this thursday.

Gates open 6.30 then about 7.15 the team will start the celebration of the winning of the League Title.

 

Let's hope hordes of Robins fans turn out to celebrate, seems ages since they won the final. Should have done this in 2012.

We was on the telly, 3 seconds of waving on Points West.

The poor weather reduced the crowd size, but there was some chanting, not heard at The Shabbey for many years.

Very good speedway supplement in Adver today.

To support Doyley I'd like to see Bomber, Killer Zengi and Charlie Wright. Bomber and PK are great to watch, Zengi is always enthusiastic and seems to really enjoy riding for the Robins and Charlie is gritty and ballsy. I'd like Hansi back too even though he's a bit of a diva at times and can be a bit precious, however he's a good skipper and Rosco seems to get the best out of him.

 

Don't know how that lot could be accommodated though, probably not possible.

 

Much as I like Nick, as Orlov says, I think he needs some time away from Swindon to develop his career....

 

No, I don’t agree. Nick has done just fine. Not huge improvement year on year, but gradual. He is now on the cusp of taking a big step in his career and he has stated the GP is his target next season.

 

What he does need is the extra responsibility of being number one at Swindon and also the captaincy. But, now more than ever in my opinion he needs consistency and therefore another season at Swindon.

 

Say it enough that he needs another club and he will believe it. Careful what you wish for folks.

The post you are commenting on was posted back in 2016, and is not relevant now.

The things some riders have to go through is something the fans need to be aware of. BWD was having a really tough time, blowing up engines so not scoring points or earning money to get them repaired or new ones, and although being helped by a sponsor and later in the season someone giving him the money to get one or two new engines sometimes the fans can help a young rider who is having a bad spell. Something needs to be set up so that fans that want to can help these riders if they are in the same situation.

This report indicates what Adam Ellis was going through in the League Finals
