    I understand that Kings Lynn like some other teams are keeping riders from last season with a view to help fans relate to their team and promote continuity but normally it is about riders improving and can't see that happening with Kerr and TJ.

    I agree with continuity of riders but not riders who are not good and who are unlikely to improve.

    Manchester wasn't built by Gaming International. Check the latter's record of false promises and abject failure to deliver on promises, especiually in Reading and Milton Keynes. The NSS was a totally different case - backing from the city council plus Manchester City through their local sport initiative is a rather different scenario to a company with a record of fine words and zero action in far too many cases.

    They've even spread into football with Torquay United. They own the club and immediately promised to demolish Plainmoor and move the club to a new stadium. They promised, they promised.....then said it wasn't going to happen.

    I'd love them to build the new stadium but it would be foolish not to keep a very close eye on these people given their shocking record under various names.

     

     

     

    Only because stupid Councils do not force them to build the new facilities before they are allowed to demolish or close what they have bought.

    If you don't like the adverts, just record everything on sky+ and fast forward, when they come on. I've been doing this for years.

    Mostly do that, not long ago I timed a program and it had 45 mins of program and 15 of intro and adverts.

    Hmmm.

    Perks achieved only 3.57 in the PL this year and Stewart and Rowe were well below him in the CL so your expectations may be high.

    All three will need much better equipment and they will do well to average 3 Rowe, 4.5 Stewart and 4.5 Perks.

    Apparently Anders has 6 new Ashtech engines lined up.  Ellis does need faster engines as well, maybe he and Stewart can raise some money to buy any of Jasons 2019 engines that he is no doubt changing.

    If he is in the main body then he has to match Musielek not Vissing

    Good team but not as good as last season....which was inevitable

    Im hoping us at Ipswich can persuade Tobi to sign for us

    With the stupid team limits there is no way he can be expected to match Tobi's scoring, but he may improve after the first few months

    Ooh, Orlov,  might agree British meetings on TV is not good, but I disagree with you re the GP’s.  The majority of the 10 GPs are very good, couple Okish, and a couple mediocre.

    The main lack of interest in the GPs was because there was no real chance of any Brit or a Swindon rider doing well after the first few rounds.  Jason picked up towards the end.  I tend to watch the GPs on utube so that if the meeting is not good I can just cancel it.

    I always worry when the incoming chairman of the BSPA states " I believe in the product " " We have a great product "  AKA Keith Chapman and now his successor Mr Godfrey . Unless someone realises that the Premiership is not a great product, Belle Vue and  now Swindon aside,and that's the reason people are not turning up to watch week in week out then the malaise and general decline will continue. Watch all BT live matches broadcast last year and its not great watching compared to other sports competing for the consumers pound ! 

    Agree about the tv meetings, I only watched a few as many of them were not worth the effort, the same with the GPs.

    We had a great side assembled for the 2007 season also, but won nothing that year. (Sorry, I was soundings a little like DC2 there!)

    Seriously though, well done Rosco on putting together what looks like a very competitive side. Tough choice to let Musielak go, who when I watched him the few times that I did last year, looks a real class act. 

    Can anyone tell me where the idea of tangerine/orange influence came from?  I thought it looked really good personally. 

    I seem to recall that the Orange came from the CFS logo our main sponsors.

    And you worked that out all by yourself did you?  It is good that we have someone of your intellectual level to inform us of this.

    A couple of 8 pointers at one and five vital 

    With only three riders with average over 8 who rode in 2019 that would be difficult, especially since  Swindon have already signed two of them.  There may be a couple from abroad with that level of average but they would be expensive and a lot would depend on them wanting to ride here.
