Surely better than Ayers or Clegg? http://www.swindonrobins.co/statistics15.php 4.50 on BSPA site. Probably never had enough matches.

The rules are so unclear that it could work out for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Heard the Czech would come in on a 1.5 average. A reduction on his 2.5 average for each year he hasn't ridden here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we welcomed him with open arms, nobody away from Lynn had a decent word for him. Yet a year later everything is forgotten and he's welcome back to Swindon . Fickle Lot !!!! He was superb when he guested for us many times last season so has earn't his return in my view. I also think Rosco has plenty of options if he does play up. A good top 5 but we are very weak at reserve with Zach coming back from a bad injury. Sargent would be my choice if his average fits as he was decent for The Bees at Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Batch did.Tried hard..Funny that Folder rode for Lynn at Poole the night before "that day" and was flying.Showed Matt he still had it. Batch and Folder are on pretty good aves going into this weaker league.I'd rather him than Folder and I think he will up his ave if he's happy. Glad you got Adam Ellis over the Pirates.

Haven't they eased up on the starting regulations, which might suit Sergeant, who often shot out of the starts only to get pulled back for a re run.

theblueboy Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I can’t have 1..2..3 Sargeant in the team. He had one good meeting the night of the monsoon at The Abbey when the ref thought he was officiating at a swimming gala, however, every time I have seen him since, either live or on the television I have been disappointed with him.

orion Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Really Poor signing ..Swindon fans must have short memories if they forgot what he did in the play off Semi Final last time ...he may do well for a time the but when going get's tough he will quit on us and let us down . Batch has one concern ..himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the relaxed rules with the starts this coming year, sarj could add a couple of points to his average IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on the Workington thread some time during the season and he didn’t seem to ingratiate himself with the locals for whatever reason. He rode in a couple of matches towards the end of the season for Swindon and he tried, however, not enough to make me think he would improve past Wajtknecht who did nothing but improve until his untimely injury.

jenga Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 so just how relaxed are the new starting rules ? are the tapes really floppy and riders have no chance of breaking them, are the riders allowed an extra2/3 mins for gardening even after the official 2 mins has expired or something else ? does sarj get 3 chances as to everyone else just getting 1 chance at the tapes . how on earth do you relax a rule that is oh so simple to start with ?

Points wise, I don't think there is a lot to choose between him and, say, KK, but having grumpy old Batch in the side just feels kind of right to me. Personally, I'd much rather have a rider who feels "Swindon" coming in than random average increasers coming in every year. I just enjoy watching Troy Bachelor - even if he's being bad Troy instead of good Troy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Batch can up his average by a fair bit, Rossiter also has a good record of getting him to perform and at home when is on it he can mix it with anybody.Away could be a different ball game at times in the season but the six we have named in this watered down league i am quite happy with at home we will be hard to beat.
