ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 So is it safe to presume the rider in question was Stuart Robson replacing Bellego. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/16364073.swindon-robins-frustrated-in-bid-to-change-line-up/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno4 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I've not been on the forum for a long time and they seem to change the rules at the end of every season. Why can't we book a guest for David instead of R/R ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if riders 1,2 or 3 in the averages are missing then you can have a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't - guests are one of the worst things about Speedway. They should only ever be used as a last resort in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggin Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Have we named a number 8 or are we praying on no mishaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a problem in my team because we have very strong reserves, it is only a problem when you have weak reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy swindon pete Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 We must have broken some kind of record this evening? Our reserves have been out 5 times between them and been on the deck 7 or 8 times between them. disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Before anyone comes on here & slates Jack Smith, yes he massively out of his depth, you can see after heat 8 he’s hurting. I have genuine sympathy for him. He needs to be taken out of the firing line fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy swindon pete Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 No they’re clearly trying. It’s just a desperate situation for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 To many times young riders are like lambs to slaughter & they give up the sport. Yes Jack Smith is struggling but who is really to blame here & it needs addressing at the next useless AGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Message to DC2. Glug glug glug. Looks like all that gloating on the Poole thread has now come back and bitten you hard on the ass. Yet another defeat for the Robins. Are they trying to set some kind of record? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Rosco has given up all hope. Even allowed Somerset an extra point by not using Batchelor or Morris in heat 15. Poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This result is on his head, the team was badly put together from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
