semion 2,192 Posted September 10, 2015 It would be a big surrpise if any of the first group in FTR's are allowed to stay at Reserve for next season. There has to be some kind of natural Progression. Then again will The Elite go with 2 FTR's again next year, or will it be cut to just 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,432 Posted September 10, 2015 FTR riders were only in for 2 years as I understand, but then there's BSPA meetings coming up so maybe things will change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle Newman already had experience in the EL and had won the league with Poole and yet he was added to the draft. I have no doubt that Poole will make sure he stays in it again next year (at the bottom again so they get first pick) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,197 Posted September 10, 2015 It was going to be tier ones do two years then everybody moves up one but this is Steve Worralls first year as tier one and no way will he be allowed to do another. Also Auty won't be back as that would open the door for Richie to come back and again the powers that be won't allow it. Â Up The Aces! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically there were no tier 1s last season but Stevie was Swindons senior reserve last year. There other reserve was Bates/Ritchings/Greenwood/Greaves Edited September 10, 2015 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted September 10, 2015   Not a good start or end to the meeting.  The heat leaders could have and should have scored more and it was thanks to Scott, Aaron and the reserves that the loss was not greater.  Jason Doyle showed what he could do and must surely be on our rider preference list next year.  I just hope it was that the robins do not like the KL track, but they should be professional enough to ride any track.  They will have to do better on Monday at BV.   Have to say it's great to see the Robins in the play offs again. What a record Rosco has getting teams into the play offs. Isn't it something like 8 times in the last 9 years? Despite the predictions from some that Swindon would be cannon fodder or even wooden spoonists, once again the Robins have been in the mix.  That said, sadly I can't see any medals this year. Last nights performance, whilst appreciating it was a 'dead wood' meeting, was an example of how Batch can look very ordinary and he often looks ordinary when it really matters. It is occasions like the play offs that teams need a proper number one.  I reckon we may beat Belle Vue but Poole in the final will be a bridge too far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BritPete 625 Posted September 10, 2015 We did not see the best of the Robins last night,but It's the next meeting that counts. Also, it's a Gp week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnno4 30 Posted September 10, 2015 If Batch & Morris are in that form Monday we are stuffed. Unless Zagar is missing and Scotty has a bad night, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 356 Posted September 10, 2015 Batch has looked very average this year in GPs and his two visits to Kings Lynn - where he is normally a sure fire bet for a big score. Is he still struggling injuries wise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
