Crazy robin 2,963 Posted January 3, 2013 I hope Swindon don't pay over the odds for Andersen as he might get a testimonial and they will have to pay most of that.I hope they buy both though, Batch as well but not to be held to ransom!If they buy both with PK they should have a good spine for a few years in a way i feel Peterborough have acted terribly with Iversen as well and deserve the minimum. Looks like Gary has taken this into account when making the offer to Peterborough but ain't it great that Hans has turned down their offer as wants to come back to Swindon & when you realise how close he lives to the Showground it shows how he enjoyed 2012. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only club that he's ever wanted to ride for and best supporters in speedway. I presume that you're on a wind up because you can't be serious Edited January 3, 2013 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuzzCagney 310 Posted January 3, 2013 By skippering the Robins to the title Hans has made himself a Swindon Legend in one season! Want him back? Too right we do. Get it done Patch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its pointless buying both. If Morris and Killer improve their averages again this season then we will never be able to fit both Hans and Batch in again. May as well just buy 1 and pay a loan fee for the other. Edited January 3, 2013 by thecoombdog 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then that gives a bit of flexibility if the rules are not changed as it is likely that Peter will be in the top twenty riders.

May as well just buy 1 and pay a loan fee for the other. Isn't amazing what a difference a year makes. This time last year when rumours were rife that Batch would be signing for the Robins, it didn't seem to be a very popular choice with many on here. His poor start to the season certainly didn't help him either. I guess him winning races on a regular basis did the trick in the end! I for one would welcome him back this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted January 3, 2013 No wind up but it's well known how much Hans liked riding for Peterborough so just shows Swindon must be doing something right if he's turned them down to return to The Robins. Hans is on record saying he didnt expect to be riding for the Panthers because of a misery deal they offered him and that gave him the impression that Bjerre was the first option anyway. Hans i think just enjoys riding for who pays his wages that season, and certainly gives his all for the teams he has has ridden for. I was never a fan of Hans but the last couple of season`s i`ve grown to respect him. Hopefully Swindon will know where they stand soon. Why would we buy HA when Poole wouldnt cough up for AM ? Hans will ride where he likes as did Adrian. Is Hans only doing till May for the Robins then? Shouldnt matter, a rider in most cases attain a new average by then which can make the rider worthless to the parent club. I see the smell of bull..t is still as strong in 2013 as it was in 2012 from the same old Poole fans. HAPPY NEW YEAR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans didn't make himself too popular with the Monmore faithful after his Heat 15 move on Miskowviak last year Stevebrum....i think he had mis-read the script to be honest...

Noodles 1,337 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) The difference is Swindon can keep there assets and riders happy! Yep I remember Simon Stead was treated wonderfully last year. Also, if what you say is true, why did batch leave Swindon for Peterborough in the first place? Edited January 3, 2013 by Noodles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For Swindon to have kept Simon in the team all season for me was more than treating him wonderfully as lots of teams would've made the change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
