For me we start with Doyley, Ellis, Perks and Morris and the rest depends on the points limit. Would love to see Batch or Rasser backing Doyley up but surely it will leave us short at reserve again and we can't make that mistake again. Doyley,Batchelor,Perks would be my three on the teamsheet then build from there plenty of options.If a rule is brought in ??? maybe for a young Brit to be at reserve that might help as every club would have to do it.Rasser,Ellis, look for me to have the most vulnerable averages but personally i would love to see Rasmus back a great rider to watch as well as his point scoring ability.

Batch has done absolutely nothing wrong and deserves to be back but if we go with him and Doyley then we are going to have the same old problems at reserve again. Adam Ellis has to be a cert in any team IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A month ago Morra had a really attractive average and he would of solved a problem for us at reserve.But his upturn in form has made his average less attractive but i would still love him back and maybe he could eventually get a testimonial with us.For me Doyley/ Batchelor are shoe/ ins after that there is still plenty of points and scope to build an attractive team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morris is not on an attractive average? A rider on nearly 2 points lower than when he left us. Unfortunately, riders have to be sacrificed next season through no fault of their own but Morris should be a rider that we want in the team. You could, and I haven’t even looked at averages, sacrifice Tobi and Razza for Morris and Bellego assuming JD still wants to ride in the league. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morris for me is not on a attractive average yes to have at reserve or maybe at no 2.But he got his higher average on the old track and has not totally convinced on the new one.Saying that i like Nick and it would be great to have him back Rosco has some difficult decisions to make but they are nice ones.

Stadium owners holding on until speedway goes ** up in this country or there is no one to take on Swindon when TR steps down. I really don't think we will be watching speedway in Swindon in 5 years time. Russell stated he wanted to hand over a 'financially stable' club to Rosco and Lee Kilby!

Is any speedway club financially stable? Sounds like the awful crowds mid season have cost us this year. The first few and last few meetings have been very well attended but the ones in between been bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
