stratton 1,491 Posted January 15, 2014 not a poisoned chalice at all but with our pool of riders we should be ahead of Latvia and the USA but Middlo was pretty clueless and made mistake after mistake in selections and he isn't exactly a good motivator. We don't expect to get near to winning the World Cup but we shouldn't be any lower then 5 th in my mind behind the poles Danes swedes and Aussies. Can't see Rosco being as inept as MiddloI don't see us being an odvious 5th now, our pool of riders 'Gavan''are pretty thin on the ground you have to admit that.I just hope we have a system and long term vision to try to get riders through the system it is a long hard road back i am afraid.Lambert is the one we all have high hopes for, i just hope not to much pressure is put on him.Would having two Brits at reserve in the PL help? i believe it would be a step in the right direction get rid of the Edberg type riders and a give a couple of Young Brits extended team places.

Crazy robin 2,966 Posted January 16, 2014 People there is a way of putting those posts on the Discussion forum about Rosco & team GB. Can we please get back to Robins 2014 please. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,966 Posted January 16, 2014 John Louis started riding aged 29 and quickly became a World class rider. Age does not always restrict ability... Swindon 2014 is the name of this thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,707 Posted January 16, 2014 Swindon 2014 is the name of this thread. Correct, give that man a gold star...No more news on Morris then ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted January 16, 2014 Thought the same of Janowski at Monmore. Scores of 1+1 and 2 points. Lee Smart would have scored more.Good point. Does that mean Magics average is so low because he has ridden more away meetings 😉 Your stretching it with the Smart bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,827 Posted January 16, 2014 Good point. Does that mean Magics average is so low because he has ridden more away meetings Your stretching it with the Smart bit. I am just using the same `Poole` logic. If you have witnessed Magic at Monmore then the Smart bit is hardly stretching it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Double Up 39 Posted January 17, 2014 Where is the defence of the Elite Shield against Poole in the new fixture list out today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,651 Posted January 17, 2014 No Elite Shield this year as there are more league fixtures!!? Great 'double header' on Good Friday though - I guess Poole in the morning and Swindon in the evening - should be a good day!! I wonder if Morris will be riding?

theblueboy 960 Posted January 17, 2014 Nice start to the season. End of March, on a Sunday and probably a 6 pm start. The promotion should be able to attract a decent field and the fans need just the 2 layers instead of the usual 3 or 4. Coventry to open EL proceedings at The Abbey will be a good test with the early return of Hans. I like the look of the back to back fixtures v Poole on Good Friday and good to see the management have used a bit of foresight and not gone up against England's WC match on 19th June. I am personally looking forward to the match on 12 June v Swindon. Should be a massive crowd for this local derby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
