    Spoke to Mike earlier in the week and he was at home, think it's a little daunting for him.

    As I have a heavy cold not visited him , as soon as I make contact again I will post something. 

    What’s happened to Starry, Ray?


  2. To be fair Steve all the riders named will struggle to even maintain their averages.

    Maybe the club should say they couldnt afford to have had Jason as whilst its good to have continuity we are going to struggle.

    You reckon? What in this watered down league?

     

    Morris to improve, Batch to improve, Zach to improve, Ellis to improve. Bellego possibly, Musielak there or thereabouts.

     

    That’s a solid and decent line up i reckon.

  3. Based on hagonshocker's info

     

    1. Nick Morris

    2. David Bellego

    3. Tobiasz Musielak

    4. Adam Ellis

    5. Troy Batchelor

    6. Zach Wajtknecht

    7. Mitchell Davey

     

    I think Bellego will improve not riding with Tobiasz at 3-4. Reserve pairing do look mighty weak especially if Zach doesn't hit ground running after injury. 1-5 is as solid as your going to get for a weakened Premiership.

    So what about your information then? Batchelor has been chosen over Musielak?


  4. Serious question. Will it make you actually attend a meeting or will you continue to follow Poole from your armchair? Until you decide to support someone else of course.

    Coombers, he/she is a Peterborough fan. Formerly KingKennethSpeed (KKS). This time of year, every year, KKS comes out to play. He/she goes onto every premiership thread with predictions and statements. In addition to this, he/she trolls most of the championship threads doing the exact same thing.

     

    Classic KKS.

  5. I think that's the major concern. They have blocked more than 1 8 pointer but all that has created is a demand for the 6-7 point riders. Clubs with those assets won't release them until they are sorted and you get left with the unwanted rider!

    I thought you said Somerset have signed a 7 pointer?


  6. Grow up kid.....Stop turning every thread into Poole chat, seriously, we don't care.

    KKS has been doing this for years. When he/she supported Peterborough and they were in the then elite league, he/she did the same. Especially this time of year. Suggesting different teams on every single thread.

     

    At least the fascination/stalking of various riders doesn’t happen as much nowadays.


  7. Why do so many see Troy (7.63) as a better signing than David Bellego (7.37)? David’s form may have dipped at the end of the season but mid-season he was mustard and he’s a much more professional, dedicated and team-orientated rider than Troy. Troy might finally have matured but there’s every chance of some strops that would see him drop his average whereas David only works hard to increase his.

    Sorry, Have I missed something? Batch has matured? Has this happened during this close season? Has he taken a herbal remedy whilst back home in Oz that has rendered him mature?

     

    Why not welcome him back, if he’s now mature, perhaps we can forget about the wet tracks and his dreaded speeches on the centre green ‘mike’.

     

    Just saying.

  8. how about Peter Kildemand

     

    nearly had him last year

    He’d be mustard around the OTA Ian, but I’d rather have him as support to a number one. He’s pretty unreliable at times, falling off whilst leading a race happened in his Swindon days on a fairly regular basis. Not sure why, maybe lack of concentration. I can’t ever recall it being a mechanical issue.

  9. Anyway enough about Leigh Adams.

     

    Let's all spare a thought for Rosco who's got to tell one of his golden boys that Swindon cant offer him a team spot next year due to the fantastic ruling by the BSPA.

     

    First thing the BSPA have got right in years.

    Enough about Leigh Adams??? Excuse me!! The blokes an absolute legend and any mention of the master stimulates conversation on any Swindon thread.

  10. Not for me. One of those riders who does stupid or seems to go missing when you need him most.

    Great entertainment value usually though.

    Agreed; and that’s been seen quite often in the past both at Swindon and Somerset. However, his last bend last ditch effort when the pressure was really on in the second leg of the play off final at Wolverhampton perhaps showed some new maturity. Certainly his scoring this year showed a marked improvement and a better rider for sure.

     

    That said, I’m pretty sure that if there is a glimmer of hope of signing Doyle, the Rebels management would take him over Morris despite his hefty average.

     

    I can see a top three of Doyle, Graczjonek and Wright. Jake Allen and a returning Bradley Wilson-Dean could be an engine room with improvement in them.

  11. If you think Morris can keep his 8.76 average riding in the pressured No.1 spot then you are very much mistaken.

     

     

     

    Hope you do go with Morris as I would enjoy watching the Robins struggle tbh.

     

    Shouldn’t you be on the Peterborough thread worrying about your own team?
