Words fail me. Its not the Managements fault, but if I was in their shoes, he would be out of the door, and replaced with a young British rider. Surely we can't do any worse? While i agree i think it's time for Andersen to be replaced.Your making it sound like it's his fault he is riding in Denmark.I don't blame him for that,if he was cleared by a doctor he is going to race.

waytogo28 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought that this concussion "ban" was across all leagues / countries and was being closely monitored ( as it should be ). For the safety of all riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm led to believe that Anderson still carries his 4 point starting average at the moment. I'm up for a young British rider to fill his shoes, but not a 2 pointer at this stage of the season. If we want to reach the play offs this season, we need to use all the 4 points available imho. Build a team next season with a young Brit at number 7 by all means. Might seem a bit harsh, but that's the way I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, the reason we've said a young 2 point Brit is because that's the standard Andersen's riding at. If the team can cope with his 2 point average they may as well use a 2 point Brit. But yes, replace him with a 4 pointer now is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A source has told me that dog racing is now only on Saturdays. Is this correct? They do not have to race on thursdays it is just that it was their race night. Most of the meetings for the rest of the season are on a monday and wednesday. It will be interesting to see what the fan numbers are like for the mondays and wednesdays, more fans may pick and choose which meetings they attend. I see dick head is now talking to one of his other multi names on the same thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesdays were actually Swindon's alternate race night when they raced on Saturdays, so, as you say, it will be interesting to see how crowds hold up.

The predictions, the “ inside information “ and the slating of riders is so similar across his multiple personalities he doesn’t even try to hide it. I wonder what what his next t reincarnation will be? Probably "Danny Bird's Whiff Whiff" because he must be on something ... I am in two minds as to whether he is schizophrenic...

Gresham78 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I see there are very few comments about the actual meeting last night so I take it was very average. I opted to watch the World Cup last night, sounds like I didn't miss much. What was the attendance like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track was very dusty and I had to move from first bend to back straight to see anything. Tobi's ride to beat Iversen was a good one, Batch and Nick's team riding in 13 to keep Lambert behind was excellent, looking for each other all the time. Lambert did a good pass on Ellis but other than that not a great meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy swindon pete Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought it was better than average to be honest because there was possibly more than about 3 passes all evening. The racing this season has been absolute toilet in the most part. Decent enough crowd in the sun too. Seeing Lambert looking very quick and exciting in the flesh was great to see. Don’t remember him pulling up any trees particularly at blunsdon before, so was welcome to see him in full flight. Great stuff. its nearly July and there’s absolutely no sign of the stadium “redevelopment”. Have we broken another deadline yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I wouldn’t put a penny on the stadium as going to be so many objections from the house owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Well done Swindon top of the league. One of the tightest for years, most teams can win it. Edited June 23, 2018 by auntie doris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
