dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 20, 2017 But you still get to ride on Thursday despite fixed nights of Monday and Wednesday! 😮 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I did say that there is a possibility that Jason may not be returning, but I thought it might be due to the points limit rather than having to get rid of any more than one rider over 8 points. So does Jason or Nick go out on loan? Rosco will have to make sure we only allow one rider to get over 8 points at the end of the season.

Reliant Robin 492 Posted November 20, 2017 So we have to choose between the 1st Swindon world champ in years or last seasons rider of the year. Absolute joke. We should be able to track both if we want. Incredible.....no more to say on it really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted November 20, 2017 Wednesday nights? Well that effectively rules me out for the entire season then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted November 20, 2017 Tough on Swindon, having to lose one of their top 2. Wolves in the same boat!! I really can't see the logic behind 'only one 8+ point rider per team'? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theblueboy 960 Posted November 20, 2017 Appalling. Why, is there a restriction in place? Why cant we ride to 42.5 with a choice of how the side is made up. Potentially, and I think its a given, the first World Champion in Swindons colours for 50 years will be forced to ride somewhere else or not at all in the UK. Wednesdays is not a big issue for me but, again, another concession Swindon have had to make... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 20, 2017 Tough on Swindon, having to lose one of their top 2. Wolves in the same boat!! I really can't see the logic behind 'only one 8+ point rider per team'? There are only seven riders with averages over 8 so presumably the bspa want the top riders shared out. But I think it should be up to each team how they build their team. The daft thing about this is that there might be some average manipulation going on towards the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DunRobin 465 Posted November 20, 2017 If the fixed race night's will be Monday and Wednesday how are Swindon fixed because dogs are on both of them night's??? Dogs are on Monday afternoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree A ORLOV but who the hell would vote this rule in? It doesn't affect the Championship teams so who are the 5 (minimum) Premiership clubs that formed the majority in the vote?? Absolutely crazy decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted November 20, 2017 Because King's Lynn were rubbish, need a number one, and the Chairman is their promoter. And because Poole will have Chris Holder and haven’t been able to attract a new 8 point superstar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted November 20, 2017 Not so sure on that, it's either Doyle or Morris. For me, although I really like Doyle, it has to be Morris. Jason admitted last season that he had not pushed himself in team meetings to prioritise the GP's due to his injury. As he seems to suffer an injury most seasons, then Morris seems the better bet & I think he has still some improvement in him. Musielak must be in their too. Disappointing to lose one of Doyle/Morris. For me it has to be Nick Morris to keep his place. He’s ready to step up to the plate and become a number one now. Moreover, he is more of a team man. Make him skipper too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE DEAN MACHINE 4,735 Posted November 20, 2017 I think swindon can still ride on Thursdays cause the familys who now live in the pits go to their sons football practice on that night and they stay in on a Wednesday and there is just not room for a sofa and 14 bikes in the living room 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
