Crazy robin Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Don't panic CR. The team that started the season will not be the team to finish it - it's all part of Rosco's master plan. The teams that ride against us in the first month must be happy - keep the faith Can honestly say I went tonight expecting to get beat so not to disheartened. I'm usually fed up if we get beat.

CB252 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 What scope are Swindon going to have for a rebuild? Does the points limit drop? Morris and Doyle probably should've chucked heats 13 and 15 to get their Aves down, given that they're likely to be the only two that stay in the team, and there was little need to limit Vue to 3 points as they're nailed on for the Playoffs anyway.

Crazy robin Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 What master plan is that ? Thats a terrible thing to say. Not terrible as only being honest as I can't see this team winning a meeting anytime soon as it is just to weak. I will continue to follow as I have for over 40 years but am amazed at just how bad the standard of riders have got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point limit drops to 42pts for making team changes so a lot of points would need to be dropped Edited April 6, 2017 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy swindon pete Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 As ever, the BSPA for serving up yet another piss poor, further diluted product. Hamper any team that has any sort of top quality rider in it...give them an average that they can't possibly attain. Fantastic stuff. Rosco sounded a very jaded man when asked about the winter changes before the meeting tonight. Can't blame him. Time and again he's tried to build a strong team using established riders along with the odd gem, only to be cut down by the annual rearranging of the deck chairs/BSPA winter conference. As I've said. It's barely a credible competition these days, the league. It's got more like an exhibition, like wrestling, only speedway somehow makes itself look more stupid than that at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Perhaps Adam will be cut some slack now.......So under the new rules we can only use R/R or sign a British replacement.....the regulators of our league sure do know how to mess it up.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he hurt himself when coming off on the back straight in a re-run heat?. I'm certainly confident that when he returns he will be better than last night. Get well soon Adam.

hyabb17 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) He done the injury when he came off in his final ride. He went back on his first bike which had a bent frame from the back straight incident This caused his crash in his last ride when he then broke his scaphoid. A night to forget & certainly some slack should be shown his way IMO.

Grachan Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 The 1975 team was weak as well. The 1975 team would win this league pretty much ubchallenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) The point limit drops to 42pts for making team changes so a lot of points would need to be dropped Colin Pratt stated in last week's Speedway Star that the revised team limit had not yet been set!! One member of the BSPA has been tasked with coming up with a revised figure - based on teams' performances through to end April.

Will all the teams be below 42 or something? Team performances are irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) No more irrelevant than 42 points! I guess they want to take account of the revised race format. They could simply take an average of all 8 teams actual averages at the first set of rider averages for May.
