Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 12, 2017 So no BWD in 2018 so must be Troy plus a weak reserve to finish our line up. Just a shame we had room for Stefan as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted December 13, 2017 KK to Swindon now? Lol! I am sure he is determined to ride for every UK club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 13, 2017 Would rather have Troy than KK now & I always wanted KK in our team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I’m not mistaken the first UK club he signed for was us about 13-14 years ago, was going to be a 3 but changed to a 4 & we couldn’t fit him in from memory, the Leigh Adams Leszno link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember he rode about 2 meetings, got injured was replace by Andy Smith (as Grachan says) and Swindon kept Smith allowing KK to return to Poole when he was fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he rode in the pre-season challenge - got injured and replaced by Smudger. When he was healed, we kept Smudger as he had been riding very well and would have been very harsh to drop him.

BritPete 625 Posted December 13, 2017 I would much rather have KK, than Bratchelor. Rosco gets on well with him and I'm sure we would get the Rye House version, rather than the Poole or Birmingham version. Of course, we may get neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing KK practicing at the Abbey before he got injured he looked terrific he is so frustrating to watch now and you would tear your hair out everyweek.I think the side with KK in it looks a bit stronger but myself i would prefer Batch and put extra faith in Zach at reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK in form at Swindon is a great sight but haven’t seen that for a while. Such a classy rider but very flakey these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted December 13, 2017 KK is one of the best riders at The Abbey...and also one of the worst. Not many duffed Sir Leigh but KK did on a regular basis and in full flight was as good a rider as I have seen here but in recent times he looks more like a Conference League rider. Still, on whatever average he is must be somewhere in the 7's (not looked) he wouldn't be a bad shout, or a great shout for that matter, given the continued watering down of the league. A tough choice, if one existed, between him and Troy as both prone to not putting the whole 9 yards in. I guess, we are looking at Grondal and Neilsen as possible reserves, although Davey has also been mentioned. Just depends on what magic Rosco has in his wand..
