Crazy robin 2,966 Posted June 28, 2017 Here we go then. No Doyley with Troy guesting & possibly R/R for Nick if there's any sense taken & Dany in the top 5 are major negatives for The Robins. Only positive could be Adam at reserve able to take 7 rides but can only see another big home defeat. The crowd might also be low as a result of the above.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 28, 2017 I accept that there still might be a question as to is Nick clear to ride or not but a meeting write up and notification of other riders should be on the website by now. We know Batch is riding in place of Jason but is Dany riding or not and if yes is he riding at 2 or 4. Adam has moved to a reserve position and hopefully should be able to get lots of points and even take one of Danys rides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,827 Posted June 28, 2017 I was hoping to make this one but I've got to work now, gutted. Should be a perfect time for Wolves to go get some away points on the board surely? A lot might depend on who the guest for Riss is, particularly with Adam in reserve now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted June 28, 2017 Does anybody know the rules regarding a concussion injury (Morris) as discussed on other threads? Some quoting a rule that a concussed rider is not allowed to ride for 9 days thereafter, yet Rosco is saying Morris is having a brain scan and if that is okay he will ride. Confused ? Yes I am !

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 28, 2017 No Jason. No Nick. No crowd. If it turns out that we have r/r for Nick, that will not be good. This will show that the team apart from Jason and Nick will need to improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DunRobin 465 Posted June 28, 2017 Don't think your little jig will work.Dull all day in Swindon ,but no rain forecast. Ha but Blunsdon has it's own climate. It's the only place in the speedway world where you still need thermals in August. We can conjure up floods at the Abbey when there's a heatwave in Swindon.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 28, 2017 A meeting report now http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2901 So Dany at 2 and Rosco still awaiting ruling from SCB re Nick riding or not, the decision will have a major bearing on the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldswindonsupporter 42 Posted June 28, 2017 I'm happy with TB guesting for JD, based on his guest appearance for Rye House, he is likely to score around 13 / 14 points from the 6 rides assuming that it is R/R for Nick, any more than that would be welcome. If indeed it is R/R for Nick then imo this results in a far weaker team and the question, can the likes of Adam, BWD and David match Nick's scoring comes very much into play. It also means heats 13 & 15 are more suspect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
