Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 24, 2018 Last night was a debacle but watching the poor Jack Smith shutting the throttle off half way down the straights is doing him or the sport no good also. A rule needs to be brought in that a rider must attain a certain average in the league below to make the next step up. No rider should ride in the top league on a 2 point average as purely a team filler. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the current league formats continue, NL riders should be eligible for the CL only when they have achieved a 7 point NL average and CL riders for the PL when they have achieved a 5 point CL average. There should be a clear progression. Any less makes them a hazard and risks ruining their confidence. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted July 24, 2018 Surely the answer to the new stadium v homeowners debate is for the Council to arrange to have the new stadium built on an industrial site elsewhere? Either a site owned by the Council or one acquired by the current Abbey site owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 24, 2018 Club Statement THE following relates to Monday night v Leicester: The management of Swindon Speedway recognise that track conditions for Monday’s meeting against Leicester were far from perfect. A number of factors came together to create a perfect storm of problems. We are working hard on the issues and expect to have them resolved by next Monday’s meeting against Wolverhampton.

Agree but clubs will be falling over themselves to sign at least two NL boys next season if the PL continues in its present format. You know what promoters are like!

Perhaps it's time for the council to suggest alternative sites, let the Abbey go, never going to work now with all the houses, start again, GI never had any intention of building a new stadium.
