ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 19, 2018 So is it safe to presume the rider in question was Stuart Robson replacing Bellego. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/16364073.swindon-robins-frustrated-in-bid-to-change-line-up/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnno4 30 Posted July 19, 2018 I've not been on the forum for a long time and they seem to change the rules at the end of every season. Why can't we book a guest for David instead of R/R ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if riders 1,2 or 3 in the averages are missing then you can have a guest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six man teams are worse, especially when a rider is missing through injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shouldn’t be made a problem for any team, fans should be entitled to see 14 riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedy swindon pete 509 Posted July 19, 2018 We must have broken some kind of record this evening? Our reserves have been out 5 times between them and been on the deck 7 or 8 times between them. disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted July 19, 2018 Before anyone comes on here & slates Jack Smith, yes he massively out of his depth, you can see after heat 8 he’s hurting. I have genuine sympathy for him. He needs to be taken out of the firing line fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
