EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted December 8, 2012 I very much doubt whether he would want one Orlov... After all, Swindon are the Elite League Champions and some down Dorset way much prefer to spend their time in their rotting cardies, cursing under their breath and failing miserably to hit their festering spittoons... Almost John Betjemanesque yerropes..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who has claimed he is a superstar, he has won the State Championship, it is not his fault if the level of opposition is not high. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adder 94 Posted December 9, 2012 Crikey. The online shop pics look like a rogues gallery! On other matters Kennett may not be the most mouthwatering signing but he is at least a point better than his current average. Hope complimentary Robins 2012 Champions T-shirts are being despatched to Mssrs Ford and S**t Shovler. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted December 9, 2012 There seem to be quite a few questions about who can double up and who can replace a d/u rider, which fans have not been told about yet. Midland Robin could you also tell us the following.If a d/u rider is not available can a club use any PL rider even if he is a d/u rider with another EL club, or has it got to be a PL rider with no d/u agreement. One thing that hasn't been made clear and going of what was said by CVS and Pete Adams last week, the mssing rider can be replaced by ANY Premier League rider that has the same or lower PL average This is where we should have ONE standard average for doubling up riders to make it fair and easier to understand. EXAMPLE; Ricky Wells starts at Wolves with a 5.79 average, Simon Stead at Kings Lynn on 5.75, Adam Roynon at Coventry on 5.13 ....... however due to his PL average, Stead, Roynon, Auty, Morris etc etc Can NOT replace Wells if he is missing Oliver Allen averaged 5.77 last season and so far isn't oubling up .... even he cant take a guest booking if Wells is missing. Simon Stead 5.75 could be missing a meeting for Kings Lynn and with his converted PL average, he can be replaced by Jason Doyle 6.50 or Ryan Fisher 6.02. MIDLAND ROBIN - If a rider is missing, can the team operate r/r rather than bring in a guest ? May be the best option for Wolves Really don't understand why they couldn't have let teams have 2 riders per double up position like last season as teams are going to have to use guests so often in 2013. It was changed to ONE rider because teams kept swapping and changing the lower rider of the two as that was the average used for guest or r/r facility. .... So a rider like Josh Auty and Adam Roynon started on a 3.00 but as the season moved on their EL average moved up to 5+ so instead of Jason Bunyan or Henning Bager doubling up, they could now have riders like Joe Screen or Ricky Ashworth etc Zengi is an exciting rider to watch and has the ability to beat many at Swindon and big away tracks, but does not always show it.. Is there a possibility he will ride well one week and not the next. Where's Doyley gonna go then?! I'm hoping Zengota or Doyle are at Wolves next season as it looks like we have two places left to fill if as expected we start with Tai, Freddie, Ricky, Ty and Jacob. ..... That leaves enough for Zengota and Stuart Robson .... or ..... Jason Doyle and Matej Kus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,736 Posted December 9, 2012 MIDLAND ROBIN - If a rider is missing, can the team operate r/r rather than bring in a guest ? Blimey how many more times does it need saying-NO JUST A PL GUEST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted December 9, 2012 Im struggling to understand why everyone thinks Kennett is a point better than his current average. His highest average came during the season when he was caught cheating so to me thats a false average. Would just say that 2012 was a more realistic reflection of his abilty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted December 9, 2012 MIDLAND ROBIN - If a rider is missing, can the team operate r/r rather than bring in a guest ? What's the definition of "missing" though? I appreciate you are allowed a guest if the rider has a clash with their PL club, but what if they are injured, otherwise unavailable or are riding overseas - do you get a guest or do you have to use your #8 or a 6pt PL rider? Im struggling to understand why everyone thinks Kennett is a point better than his current average. His highest average came during the season when he was caught cheating so to me thats a false average. Would just say that 2012 was a more realistic reflection of his abilty. Kennett's Final Averages 2007: 7.11 2008: 7.29 2009: 7.72 2010: 6.63 2011: 7.84 2012: 6.25 I think it's fair to say he the potential to be a point better than is average at the end of last season, even if you ignore 2011. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keef 105 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Picked up the only leaflet from stall in Brunel Plaza today advertising Excalibur Communications and Swindon Robins...Passion Pride History follow The Champions in 2013 with action shot of Hansi Andersen. Win some great new Robins merchandise on Twitter.com/Excaliburcom. Website address www.ex-c.co.uk/robins ..says about merchandise including scarves etc., on sale for Chrimbo. Have requested some leaflets to leave with local companies, hotels, pubs, etc., Rosco looks well dodgy in that red hoodie! Edward good signing IMO.Hope he can reproduce some of the form he showed at Cardiff in GP 2008. Edited December 9, 2012 by beefy keefy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
