Sidney the robin Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Is having a top heavy side the way the fans want to go again next year or should we go in a different direction.? Great news about Doyley for me he stays riding for us as long as he rides in British speedway a real legend.He is in our top 6 riders ever alongside Briggs, Crump, Ashby, Adams, Kilby.

I'm assuming as mentioned previously that Musielak is sitting out UK in 2020. May well leave a long tail but it would be a shame to see Batchelor sacrificed as he was great this season. Let's see what Rosco can come up with Edited November 21, 2019 by Reliant Robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what Rosco can come up with I can't see Batch being retained unfortunately due to his average being almost similar to Doyle's. I can see us with the following 4: - Doyle - 8.96 Jensen - 7.86 Ellis - 6.49 Perks - 3.57 This would leave 15.62 for 3 spots. Rosco has previosuly said that riders who haven't been in the Uk for a while have been in contact - Could this be Kildemand - his average would be 7.10 which would then leave 8.52 for two spots. Perhaps a young Swede or Dane on a 4 at reserve with Perks??? Jeppesen or Mads Hansen would fit the bill for me. Saying all of that, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Brady Kurtz signed to ride at 5....He's proven how good he is on our new track & with Doyle at 1 will have no pressure like he did when at Poole.....7.54 average isn't too bad. That would then leave 8.08 for two spots. Edited November 21, 2019 by hyabb17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Did top heavy really work? It came down to getting successful replacements ie Jensen replaced a rider that may well have dropped to reserve in most teams whilst Rasser become one of the top averaged riders in the league Had that turned out like for like then Swindon may not even have secured a top 4 place. That type of change wont happen every year.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he returns then as still feel there is improvement in Tobi’s average & he is a big meeting rider as the play offs showed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
