if Matt had let things tick along as they were, what would people have said then, Matt is in it to win it, there will be more changes I'm sure

and I did say there will be more changes, and he's been replaced by a young brit

[LisaColette]

I kinda reserving judgement till the other changes happen. Unless other riders decide to up their game! 

[A ORLOV]

Stefan scored 16+2 tonight for Scunthorpe against Redcar, could be a worrying reserve.

Maybe Shanes will come back in for Sczhepaniak at the end of the month and allow for another 7 or 8 point rider if any of the top 5 are still not performing?! ;-)

No thanks.

 

[Mattfordfan]

Feeling optimistic now that we have cut some of the dead weight and brought in an in-form reserve.

If Szczepaniak performs then I can see us winning. If he doesn't then I can see us taking a point back to Wimborne. 

 

[Crazy robin]

I’d take any Swindon win but seriously Poole will clean up at reserve with Stefan in their line up.

With Killer also in the team I might be due a trip to the bookies to see the odds for a Poole win.

An off night for any of Swindon’s top 5 which is them scoring less than 6 will result in an away win.

Shame Shanes rides for a Thursday night team as he’s better than Mitchell.

I know this is a meeting thread but should have given james more time not an underperforming pole the guy gives everything which is more than some of the so called better riders in our team would love to see Rosco take over from Middlo we need someone to get the best from our rders reckon he could

Not usually allowed under the rules, however these can of course be bended if you want to try gain an advantage. 

16.3.5 The BSPA MC monitors all proposed moves and has the sole responsibility to approve all

(re-)Declared Team Line-Ups having been satisfied they are in the best interests of the sport.

And

16.5.2.2 No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a Re-declaration has not

made an appearance for that Team since being re-declared.

So I assume you will now be attending the meeting rather than reading updates seeing you’ve got the change you wanted.

Still think Swindon will win this. Have the two most inform riders in Batch & Ellis & Morris is doing his job at 1. Bellego will be at 2 (IMO) which will allow him to clean up. Stef hasn’t ridden at this level for a few years so a tough one to come into regardless of what he scored for Scunny against a very poor Redcar side tonight. I predict he’ll bin it in heat 2....saw him struggle at the Abbey plenty of times.

Why/How are either of those rules relevant to Poole's change?

[Steve Shovlar]

Will be coming up for this one. Weather looks set fair so hopefuly a big crowd and lots of Poole fans making the trip up to support the team.

I don’t expect us to get anything as the team have started woefully with over half the team off form, not only here but abroad as well. No one could have predicted such a poor start.

We need to see Kildemand scoring double figures to back up Brady.  But his form in Poland has been abysmal, so a poor score wouldn’t suprise me.

Swindon by 8. If we get a point that’s an improvement.

Yes some people did.

Flaky Poles, Holder saga, Sundstrom for Hans, Kurtz not a true number one.

All theories put forward by some fans before a wheel was turned........only to be told that we were talking rubbish and this was the nest Poole team assembled.

With regards to the match Swindon by 8 is a perfectly reasonable outcome to expect

[A ORLOV]

Do not understand why this is a 7.30 pm meeting, the last dog race is 2pm and with a nice sunny day surely a mid afternoon start time would have encouraged more families who do not want a late trip home.

He will be there with his purple chinos on. Oh no that was Gater1 who wore them!!

[thecoombdog]

Love em or hate em there is no denying its our biggest meeting of the season when the Poole "Lost Property" Pirates are in town. Looking forward to it, if slightly apprehensive after the Nielsen move.

Shanes is quoted by some as saying back in a few weeks. The rules are relevant to that.
