SCB Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Justin Sedgmen Hmmmmm things not looking real clear in the UK for next year ! Why they make it so hard for us to ride 👎🇬🇧 Makes me laugh when people moan about how hard to get a team place. The EL has 7 more team places this year, its easier to get a job!

EnglishRoundabout Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 No wonder Gater is such a loon. Being a Spurs fan has caused me intense mental distress for 30 years!! Ever seen Gater 1 at Tottenham matches coombers? He wears purple chino's, lives in Peterborough and goes by the forum names, morriseyfan and formerly KKS. You should know him. He's the irritating guy who talks utter baldacks and is a season ticket holder also at Arsenal. Depending on who wins more often, depends on whether he takes his seat at White Hart Lane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Makes me laugh when people moan about how hard to get a team place. The EL has 7 more team places this year, its easier to get a job! He probably wants to ride for Swindon and has been told it might be difficult to fit him in.

waiheke1 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 What are swindon fans thinking: Doyle Ellis morris sedge batch 2pter x 2? Doyle starke morris Ellis buzz 2pter X2? Both would be competitive I reckon. Or josh g rather than buzz more realistic? Nielsen on a 5.5, especially in the main body, would be wasted points imo.

MattK Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Who are these 2-pointers? I think we'd be better off sacrificing a rider in the main body in order to allow us two stronger reserves. The new (old) heat format favours strength in depth, so we can't afford to give away too much at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think the opposite i think we need a decent top five and if we can get a 2 pointer improver all the better.I except Nielsen will get a place but i will be very worried if he is in a top 5 and even at reserve i would prefer someone else.Howarth, Wright,Auty,Kerr,would all get the nod over Nielsen for me the thing is we more or likely we wont have the points left to fit any of them in.

BurntFaceMan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Where are the 2pters? Where have they come from? Is there a list of them? We all know that reserves all too often win the meetings so why would you want a couple of 2pters going up against teams that will have solid reserves?

We all know that reserves all too often win the meetings so why would you want a couple of 2pters going up against teams that will have solid reserves?because I would suggest someone like nielsen on a 5.5 or Williamson on a 3.8 is going to lose proportionately more of their average than a 2 pointer will. If you look at the 2016 edr, of those with averages under 6 points there is arguably only lambert, bates, rose and clegg who seem to represent good value compared to a 2 pointer who will likely average maybe 1.5.

If you look at the 2016 edr, of those with averages under 6 points there is arguably only lambert, bates, rose and clegg who seem to represent good value compared to a 2 pointer who will likely average maybe 1.5. This is the extract from the BSPA statement: The only difference in team building rules between the leagues is that Championship clubs must include a British youngster with a three-point average. And in a bid to help young riders get team spots, any rider who hasn’t achieved a three-point average will come in on a minimum of 2. From that I cannot tell if the '2 point ' rule applies soley to the Championship or both leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Swindon has just been awarded the World Under 21 Championship Final First leg on July 23rd. The bspa report states it will be held in the new stadium, hope it is finished by then haha. It is a shame the max capacity of the new stadium is lower than the current track.

Sidney the robin Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Swindon has just been awarded the World Under 21 Championship Final 1 on July 23rd. It has not stated if it will be in the new stadium or the old one, haha. What will the capacity crowd be 1000?😀 Edited November 15, 2016 by Sidney the robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Swindon has just been awarded the World Under 21 Championship Final Fist leg on July 23rd. The bspa report states it will be held in the new stadium, hope it is finished by then haha. It is a shame the max capacity of the new stadium is lower than the current track. What the report also states is that this date is the day after the Cardiff GP, so it could be a good weekend of speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
