Sounds like the situation the Witches found themselves last season. Ok we got away with it for most of the season because of our reserves.

TBH it could be the same this season as well with the Witches. Hoping Klindt is at Foxhall but as the No1 back up not our No1.

If as rumoured we loose Fricke and possibly Bjerre, we are going to have a problem getting an out and out No1, to replace Fricke. With batch now resigned for Swindon the most likely rider that they will release would be R. Jensen, who had a big difference between his home average and his away average.

That leaves B, Kurtz, J Holder, and N Klindt, none of whom are No 1s. so that looks like we will be going with strength in depth. Unless we can tempt a big hitter from abroad, which would take up all the TV money, or we find a big sponsor.

Yes we are on a  very strict budget now and rightly so.  Dont want cripple the club for the sake of 1 rider  so mark has a very difficult job. 

 

And I think this year we could be last years Peterborough

Under the circumstances, I think I'd rather be Peterborough 2019 than Workington 2018!  At least we get to see decent racing each week and if Mark can uncover more Jaimon Lidsey's, the joy of watching someone improve. 

I'm hoping (and presuming) that we have the Colts to watch next year as an added bonus.  Any idea on this Phil?

Yes the colts will be at the NSS again next year. What the leagues going to be like is anyones guess though. The NL AGM is in the next few weeks  

 

We have an ok core of the team (5 riders) but last to are crucial 

 

We can wither get a no1 in and go with a 3 pointer atbreseeve or go with kurtz at 1 and have a solid team. Something along the lines of this 

 

Kurtz

Bellego

Bewley

Hans

Wright

Worrall

Lidsey

 

Or

 

No1

Worrall

Wright

Bewley

Kurtz

Lidsey

Sedgman/ayres/stewart etc etc

I think the absence of a big hitter at number 1 is risky and can see us losing matches because of Ht's 13 and 15.  Is it definitely the case that Fricke and Bjerre are giving the UK a miss  in 2020?   

On the options listed by Phil, I'd try for Tungate rather than an aging Hans Andersen.  Watching Rohan work his way to the front was enjoyable.

Yes, I think you are right however next season may be slightly better for him. He should be able to get around Peterborough, Swindon, King's Lynn and Sheffield. But who knows. I'd rather have Rohan Tungate but maybe too high an average.

The present format favours a good top two.

Now Swindon have Doyle and Batchelor.... and as in 2020 you can keep your 7 riders for 2021 ,then Swindon can sign young upcoming riders and ensure they have a strong side for many years to come

The 'keep the same 7' is being looked into - it hasnt been agreed. Plus we all know that the chances of a new regulation lasting more than a season is often slim

If you listen to the aces agm on their web site, it implies that it will probably happen... and if it does then Swindon will be in a great position.

If it is brought in IMO it should only be if you end the season with the 7 you start with. Any changes and it should be void
