If we leave the Abbey i think that could be it for Swindon speedway i can't see us getting an alternative site and even if we do that will take time.I know it is long shot but if the worst scenario happens could Cowley Oxford be a option.?

ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Swindon new averages from 1st August as it stands, not including Monday’s meeting. Troy Batchelor 8.41 Nick Morris 8.04 Tobiasz Musielak 6.96 Adam Ellis 6.49 David Bellego 6.10 Zach Wajtknecht 4.04 Jack Smith 2.00 TOTAL - 42.04 (Only 0.46 left) Edited July 25, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingRacer2017 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Krystian Pieszczek on 6.36 average is tempting surely, I know Rosco is a fan and was surprised he was axed by Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was only axed because of money he is a very talented rider but i think he is quite expensive for a rider who has a 6.36 average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tempting at all. Which of our top 4 are you looking for him to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellego when the new averages come out in August. We all know I’m not Bellego’s biggest fan, he did well on Monday night, even though he got lucky in heat 1.

mcnabadam Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 If we are serious about retaining the title then action has to be taken now. Morris should be dropped and Pieszczek brought in. He's quite capable of having the "Musielak 2017" effect. This will then free up 4.14 for a replacement for Smith and create room for someone like Berge instead. It is vital to replace Smith, he is completely out of his depth and having a six man team for the rest of the season is like throwing in the towel. Morris' form for Swindon has been very patchy of late and clearly gives the impression he is not interested in riding British speedway any more. Not just with his comments on tv but in his demeanour in the post match press conferences and as he said in Monday nights match programme "The path is Poland, Sweden, and the Grand Prix series. But one step at a time, crack Poland first though". Our true number one this season is Bachelor anyway and he can step up to this race jacket no problem.

mcnabadam Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 From Monday night's programme Morris says: "We've been doing alright in England for a while but no done a lot in Poland and Europe but this year I've been racing every week in Poland and been going good so that's the path. Hopefully we can move up to the First Division with the same team Rzeszow for next season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
