Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 17, 2019 As you can see,,, it's entertainment v winning. Heeps is one of the only riders that can sometimes make passes at Foxhall, but has he got another improvement in him? Not sure, sometimes I think yes, sometimes no.

Icicle 896 Posted October 17, 2019 He is worth another season at least. He does seem to have tailed off a bit as season progressed but entertainment is better for maybe getting crowds..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s been a massive disappointment entertainment wise. My point is about Heeps. I maybe repeating myself, but every time I’ve got off my backside at Foxhall this season to applaud, it’s been because of Cameron Heeps. I genuinely couldn’t care less if his average decreases slightly, he’s still make my team because I love watching him. I want the team to be successful too of course I do, so look for some improvers elsewhere. I don’t think Heeps is done improving yet either, there’s more to come from him IMO. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted October 17, 2019 Even with heeps the entertainment are foxhall isn't great I would say the crowds will stay large or improve based on winning rather than on track entertainment. Heeps maybe worth the risk but I'd only take Allen 100% I'd let the rest go, let Danny ride Peterborough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,247 Posted October 17, 2019 Well take away Heeps and the entertainment would have been even less! Hes a Foxhall specialist, knows how to race the track and provides entertainment. Sorry but I’d never understand anyone who attends the meetings not wanting him to return. Any side wanting to make the top 4 also need to make sure they lose very little if any, at home. That’s another reason to include him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Allen and Heeps for me, King is past his best, but can't see Hawkins staying without his best mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted October 17, 2019 Only Allen for me we need some fresh faces and some gaters mixed in with the racers. If Poole are dropping down Josh G should be one along with one of who Swindon release except Batchelor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree people are obsessed with changing riders just for the sake of it also as a fan the entertainment factor has to come into it and Heeps does excite at Foxhall.Yes have some new faces but you have to keep some riders who the fans can relate to otherwise it is just changes galore every season.At Swindon we have some tough decisions to make but i would like to think we will keep at least four of the title winning side for the 2020 season.

Falcon1983 557 Posted October 18, 2019 Think witches would be daft if not looking at bringing back some riders fans can relate to Covatti and Schlein must be on the radar Allen must be first on the list Nicholls as a potential reserve? All riders fans can relate to then throw in a Cook and an upcoming no.7 Fans will soon "relate" to a winning side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will get the usual gobs on here talking about Cam away in the final but he is dynamite at home and thats all important. I think King will be back but out of the 2 around similar average would rather have Lawson but rather neither. Pretty obvious that neither Harris or Sarj will be back and unlikely that Niels will be either 1. ? 2. Nicholls 5.50 3. Heeps 6.37 4. Allen 5.56 5. Klindt 7.43 6. Covatti 5.27 7. ? Leaves 12.37 for 2 riders Fill in the blanks Edited October 18, 2019 by Gavan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
