JOS50 150 Posted May 24, 2016 This weeks Blunsdon blog....tyre burning. I can assure readers that the people who worked the Swindon track for years and years with little or no fuss, would'nt have dreamt of deeds as idiotic as burning tyres to dry the track. Imagine the mess. Is it a joke? I take it as an insult to some good ole boys from way back then, still they had the benefit of working with proper Arbury red shale, that stuff you're using aint shale man.

EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted May 24, 2016 Certainly on current form, he's not a bad shout, I guess his unpredictability at Blunsdon is the worry. That said, Doyley at the moment has huge boots to fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,960 Posted May 24, 2016 Wouldnt even think about booking Nicholls in at The Stade D'Lite just hope Doyley is back by then!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted May 24, 2016 Wouldnt even think about booking Nicholls in at The Stade D'Lite just hope Doyley is back by then!! Was not on about Swindon but at KL then Poole if Jason is not back. At KL scored 23232 12 + 1 At Poole " 31332 12 There are higher scoring riders ie KK at Kings Lynn but it would mean paying for him to fly in and he can be inconsistent. It is difficult finding another good rider at those tracks and BH Monday is awful because of all the other EL meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope we dont go for Harris at Blunsdon as he is actually worse now there than Nicholls but there seems to be a bit of a broken record as far as booking guests by us! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,651 Posted May 24, 2016 If Doyley is not back by the Bank Holiday meeting then the choice of guests is limited due to the 6 EL clubs riding that day. Lakeside and Leicester being the exceptions - so AJ would be Swindon's best choice I guess, if they could get him over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lakeside and Leicester being the exceptions - so AJ would be Swindon's best choice I guess, if they could get him over. The lack of available riders is the problem that afternoon, not sure if AJ had a bad day but he only scored 5 at Swindon recently. Kim Nilsson scored a lot more and if available may be a better option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,987 Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) I would think that AJ would rather go from Poland on the Sunday to Sweden to spend time with his family before Swedish league on the Tuesday than add another couple of flights to his itinerary. Do British clubs still have to pay Swedish riders airfares ? I Edited May 24, 2016 by Triple.H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted May 24, 2016 AJ at Swindon? He's as inconsistent as Nicholls and Harris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted May 24, 2016 There are higher scoring riders ie KK at Kings Lynn but it would mean paying for him to fly in and he can be inconsistent KK is in the SEC challenge on Thursday so wouldn't be able to do Lynn. He's also missing for the Bees on Friday as he's in the GP qualifier at Gorican on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
