SomersetBlue Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 If you did go down the Morris route you could go; Morris Allen Lawson Josh G Charles Wright Mark Riss 2.35 left Allen or Riss at reserve all year would be a strong tail especially at home Would probably be BWD unless Swindon offer a large amount for his services. Plus I honestly can't see Grajczonek back next season nor maybe Allen, depends on who upset the promotion at the end of season disco. Lawson and Wright were riding and injured respectively.

I read on the main Polish Spdwy site that Josh intends taking some POL Speedway exams and expects to be spending more time there now he is signed up for 2017 to POL Nice 1 (I think). Would not surprise me that being one of those 7 plus point men who will no doubt be in demand for 2018 then he may try and sign for a team further north to his home town Sheffield I think. I reckon he will still double up as he has done for years but may try and not have that horrendous round trip for every home match. I may be wrong as he's been a great servant to Somerset in both Prem and Champ, but I would not blame him for trying to reduce commuting.

Grachan Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 It should be compulsory for the teams that voted for other sides to release 8 point riders to offer those riders a team place in 2018. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 It should be compulsory for the teams that voted for other sides to release 8 point riders to offer those riders a team place in 2018.Wow, you are really pee'd off with this rule aren't you? I wonder if you were as bothered when Coventry had to choose between Hamill and Hancock and Poole with Chris and Darcy. Yes it sucks but just gave to get on with it, if JD thinks moaning about the situation will change it then he is in for a shock! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are pissed off because these are our assets we're being denied the use of, we stuck with Morris when he was having poor seasons, yet now can't use him, loyalty and continuity should be rewarded not broken up, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are the rules, you are acting as though your the first club to have to split up a top two, as was said before its old news and has happened before and will happen again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Wow, you are really pee'd off with this rule aren't you? I wonder if you were as bothered when Coventry had to choose between Hamill and Hancock and Poole with Chris and Darcy. Yes it sucks but just gave to get on with it, if JD thinks moaning about the situation will change it then he is in for a shock!Not as peed off as yesterday, but still pretty peed off, yes. I was less bothered with the two that you mention, because they weren't my own team, but would have been just as much against the principal. The possibility of teams voting riders out of the league,should that be what happens, concerns me greatly. As did the way Holder and Bachelor were effectively put out of work earlier in the year. It's not all about Swindon's team strength, as we can deal with that. It's about either a loyal Swindon rider finding himself without a team or the World Champion being forced out the league (something, incidentally, that some people here seem to find quite an amusing prospect). I've always posted against this stuff, but it's really gone to my head this year because it is happening closer to home. If Morris, Doyle, Thorsell, Lindgren, Cook and Bjerre all get a side then I might calm down a bit! It seems to me that under the current chairmanship, one thing on the agenda is to try and get as many top riders as possible out of the league.

MattK Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Every year there is some kind of completely arbitrary rule designed to break up the successful teams. Last season it was the 38-point limit, previously it was one GP riders or similar. Every year the supporters of the club(s) impacted moan and complain as if it is the first time it has ever happened.
