Someone earlier said Poole prob poached Morris at Abu Dhabi. I think it is their way of saying he's going to Wolves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The announcement said that Nick had asked to be released. http://www.swindon-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3193.1 Would he ask that if not already set up with another team, I wonder?

Whoever gets him on that 6.60 bargain GSA are going to be happy bunnies that's for sure. At least Swindon have now announced his release together with Bellego Not gutted just pleased that this means Troy will be retained meaning a very potent one two with Doyley 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure with the vast majority of the riders they already knew where they were riding at the end of this season. looks to me that he just wants a change, a shame for Swindon fans with him being on such a bargain average.

It only states that if a rider is given a 4 average, he can not drop below 4 during that season. It does not mention following seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joke really as Nick was chosen over Jason last season & then when his average, which he attained riding for us will now benefit another club. Thanks a lot Nick!!

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 1, 2018 5 hours ago, BLACKHEART said: Swindon possibly looking at this 1-7 now. 1. Jason Doyle 9.80 2. Zach Wajtknecht 4.37 3. Tobiasz Musielak 6.52 4. Adam Ellis 6.42 5. Troy Batchelor 7.69 6. Dimitri Berge 4.00 7. Stefan Nielsen 3.67 No way are Zach or the 2 reserves you name good enough to ride in the main body of the team.

One things for sure Steve the average Nick had last season would’ve meant him missing out on a team berth if Swindon hadn’t used him. Poole or Wolves would’ve played hard ball & made him stay on his average but Swindon roll over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 1, 2018 31 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: With Doyle and Musielak signed. More than likely Batchelor and Ellis to follow. Swindon may not have any other choice but to go with a long tail. Then don’t sign one of them as the extra point between Nick & Troy’s average is now a real pain. Sign someone like Jack Holder over Troy & then use the extra point or you just have the same problem as last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted December 1, 2018 Apparently, there is a bit more to why Morris left. A fall out or 2 has occurred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted December 1, 2018 So a rider we dumped the world champ for and showed more passion riding for the enemy than he did for his own team last season, doesn't want to come back after dropping 2 points off his average. Good riddance I say and I never thought I would be saying that after heat 13 at Wolves in 2017. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
