Surely with their inconsistent form, Morris, Bellego & Musielak now have lower averages, can we not fit in someone on higher average to to replace struggling Jack?

Swindon have 2 x 8+ point riders and a team total of 43.04, so who and how would you suggest?!

Teriffic article in the Swindon section by Terry Russell in this week's Speedway Star, bemoaning the fact that Speedway's 'second division' are allowed to call the shots over the top league.

He cites the case of 3 of his riders for whom Swindon pay all the costs also being used by Lakeside who pay nothing other than points money yet get priority of those riders when there is a (potential) fixture clash.

I couldn't agree more.

Why should Sheffield Ipswich and Redcar be sacrificed just so the premiership teams can have fixed race nights.  

The championship / premier league / national league has always been a better run league. Several clubs have been tempted “up” and then been shafted and either closed or ran in the current national league.

I don’t like to wish injury on any rider. 

R/R is not the answer, Bellego could be out for 12 weeks if not more. 

Zach apparently not in a good way either. Went straight to hospital.

Admittedly i haven't read the reports in full, but Bellego is scaphoid # isnt it ?  Where has the 12 weeks come from ?

It's not 3 months for a scaphoid as a rule.

If it's not confirmed as yet or there is no explicit info, best not to speculate. 

Depending on severity, and if it's displaced or not, recovery can be a lot less than that.

If it’s a broken scaphoid, 12 weeks is the norm for recovery. 

That is simply wrong.  Please don't comment on stuff you know squat about.

Apologies to Bald Bloke aswell - i thought i was replying to the chap who is souring my club name.

If Bellego's out does that promote Bomber in the GP Challenge?

Chris Harris should not be allowed anywhere near the GP challenge, Craig Cook is bad enough. 

If the FIM see sense they will promote Hampel and not Harris.
