Pirates Of Poole Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 James is a great signing for Swindon, did a solid job for Poole and will improve with the Robins under Doyley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought he improved every time I saw him at Swindon in 2017 so hopefully that carries on in 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the point he is British and was pushed out, Jackobsen could be decent Nielsen did well but i am not a fan glad Zach got the nod over him at Swindon in 2019 Shanes was shabbily treated end of.

He is not bitter about it like myself did not agree with it then and feels the same now.This is one of the biggest problems we have in British speedway stupid rules no continuity and a win at all costs mentality.Around that period if you look back Ford had a nightmare bringing in the likes of Kennett, Lahti, Starke, Zengota, Worrall, ( ect) switching riders mostly out of desperation.

It has nothing to do with not being appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliant Robin Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Expected Shanes to be the 7th man and happy with that line-up. Good entertainment value, and whilst most teams still have plenty to announce, I think we'll be back at the right end of the table in 2019.
