I only live 30 min drive away (you make it sound like I like I live on the moon!) I have been mostly in the summer hols not sure what that has to do with me saying a thread is depressing. Fans have been moaning about the decline of British Speedway since I started going 20 odd years ago.
I think Swindon would be silly to let Morris go. Send him down to Poole on a nice low average then. As long as he has a PL place I think he'll do well next season.
You have to ASK for it to be reassessed. If you don't ask, you don't get! They could have said no, then it would have been 7.94 or they could have said higher at 8 or they could have gone lower, which they did.
