Mattfordfan Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Hahaha! Ridiculous decision. Getting rid of the World Champion for an unproven No.1 in Nick Morris.

theblueboy Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Garbage decision. Doyle frustrated me many times last season with his inability to team ride but if I wanted a rider to win heat 15 to secure the points, hes the man. Nick is a good rider and his team riding for a young lad is brilliant but hes not the World Champ. I am guessing we have someone, of GP standard lined up, either Holder or PK to fill those boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody could fill Doyle's boots especially not PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think it can be PK because of the Polish rules as he has 3 leagues already. Didnt envy Rosco with this decision but felt Doyley was the way to go. Doyley to Somerset now I guess.

thecoombdog Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Absolute madness. The decision is wrong in so many ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 it was quite clear that Doyle was not going ride for swindon weeks ago after the hint rosco dropped in the paper .like the rest of the fans i like Nick Morris but he's not a number one at this stage .Going to need a real strong second heat leader now . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Does Morris still live with Rosco if yes then that's the only reason why he was picked over Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Nigel Pearson has said that Doyle wants to ride UK so I expect a few clubs will be ringing Doyle this morning! Odd decision for me only .8 difference in averages plus Doyle could have an extra ride with the tac sub rule when they need it. Wonder what Rosco has up his sleeve! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I would prob go with bellego musielak and another 7pt rider as that should create enough back up for morris plus adam ellis, would leave you around 6pts for reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 That is a tough decision but a decision had to be made due to the shortsightedness of some of the bspa members. Would rather have had Jason with Nick getting experience at another track, also if Jason was injured Nick would have been an ideal guest for him. I hope Jason does ride for another UK club so that we still see him at Blunsdon occasionally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 To be fair To Rosco he was unsure that Jason would resign before the AGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 To be honest I'd have gone for Doyle ahead of Morris considering there's only .8 difference between the two. Financial decision maybe? Rosco mentioned finances wasnt great in the star last week.Yet outlay cash on 4 riders! Dont think it can be PK because of the Polish rules as he has 3 leagues already. Didnt envy Rosco with this decision but felt Doyley was the way to go. Doyley to Somerset now I guess. KL I reckon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Cannot see him getting on with BusterHe doesn't get on with most but if he's getting a decent offer? Maybe Rye also Probably end up with a rider who's not even an asset of the club which makes our asset base look pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 An easy decision the make - and they made the wrong one. Can't believe they did this. The fact that they got rid of Jason makes me wonder if they would have got rid of him anyway, regardless of the 8 point rule. Because if that was the only reason, they would have kept Jason surely. Plus, Nick would have benefitted more from riding elsewhere for a year. At least he will have a club next year now anyway! Definitely a case of heart ruling head here. Just.. weird. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well that 2 year contract was worthless then. In fact they always are. As soon as any rider signs a two year contract it's like an indication they'll be off next winter. If anyone else had done this Id be suggesting it was madness but Rosco has made a lot of brave calls in his time and they have generally worked, maybe he has a plan?

I thought the 2 year contract was for 2016 and 2017, and Swindon got stick for sticking with it last year. I'm sure Swindon will be able to put together a decent side, but they have robbed fans of the opportunity to have a World Champion riding at the club, which is something a lot of people have waited a long time for. Maybe the decision was financial? If Nick had been dropped I would have been disappointed for him. Now I'm disappointed for myself! It may have been Jasons decision rather than Roscos, who knows Jason said on Twitter: "Not my choice". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
