SteveLyric2 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Not retired according to the Star this week - just disappointed at not getting a team place anywhere - yet!!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I don't understand the logic of promising team places to any rider before the points limit is known, just puts the promoter into a corner they can't always get out of. I think that is one of the downsides of having a manager who wants to be the riders mate, rather than their manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Blimey Riley didnt know that. Remember seeing Seb ride at Worky for IOW with Boycey 2004, and think he rode for Swindon 2005. Smashed Workys unbeaten home record. Wheres he now? Rode for Swindon in the first part of 2005 before joining Exeter where he failed to turn up for half the meetings.

Jonny the spud Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Rode for Swindon in the first part of 2005 before joining Exeter where he failed to turn up for half the meetings. A troubled personal life put paid to his career, he's only recently started racing on the grass again, the most naturally talented of the three brothers IMO.

EnglishRoundabout Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think that is one of the downsides of having a manager who wants to be the riders mate, rather than their manager. He hasn't done so bad being their mate in the 5 or 6 play offs that he has reached as Robins team manger though has he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sedgmen wins third round in Aus Champs and goes into overall lead with one round to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Looks like a 3 way battle now Sedg Masters and Fricke a slight outsider but one fairly bad meeting i.e 10 points and get knocked out in b final could make all the diffference especially as the likes of Batch Watt Brady Jack etc are there to spoil the top 3's evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sedgy should be at Swindon in 2017 & not Adam Ellis's mate & travelling partner Bellego. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Sedgy should be at Swindon in 2017 & not Adam Ellis's mate & travelling partner Bellego.I thought he was Crazy but was let down badly.

Crazy robin Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I thought he was Crazy but was let,down badly. Same as Stefan who has been well & truly shafted by British Speedway. Don't know why Rosco made him an asset as Stefan refers to in the speedway star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal to be honest Crazy, places for Pickering(decent though) Davey in the PL yet nothing for Nielsen so unfair and something should be done about it.

foreverblue Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sedgy should be at Swindon in 2017 & not Adam Ellis's mate & travelling partner Bellego.Yes you are right considering his form in Australia but rarely has shown that form over here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes you are right considering his form in Australia but rarely has shown that form over here. Absolutely, a riders form in Australia should be taken with a pinch of salt. Bellego does deserve a chance to prove himself before he gets battered. He may just end up being the Robins rider of the year, 2nd Heatleader or No7. Nobody knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bellego alot an exciting rider and i hope he is a sucess.But Sedgeman has real ability and if someone can unlock all of that he could comeback and bite us on the bum.

Correct, but at the same time you could have signed Sedgmen, finished up at reserve & Bellego ended up as heatleader elsewhere & knock you out the Play-Off's. Far to many if's & but's to worry about. Last seasons Wolves team is a good example of that, at the start of the season not many predicted them to make the Play-Off let alone win the League.

uk_martin Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 img hosting I hope that it's not been snowing too hard in Swindon. I'd hate for there to be anything slowing down the redevelopment of the site. Winters can be hard in the building trade to make progress in, so let's keep fingers crossed for good fortunes, eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Went past the place yesterday morning and quickly took a look. Nothing going on at all. Apparently there's a sign up warning greyhound customers that there will be construction work going on in the car park during January. Better than nothing I guess.
