UPDATE| Rain has cleared & we now have sunny conditions with the track drying meaning tonight's meeting against @SwindonSpeedway is ON!

Hoping we have made a change by then. Average change every 2 weeks. My concern tonight is if King withdraws after one race due to his injury, we are already using RR. Huge risk

Once we get beaten at home again by Wolves, we will have more points spare

Sun is breaking through and no more rain forecast

Sun trying to come out now. Rain is back though 😕

Very Heavy rain at the moment. Not had a lot before now but might depend how long this lasts for. Forecast has it dry from 4pm 🙏🏼

Started raining around 1.40pm. There's a strong breeze. Hopefully your forecast will be right. Hard to predict tonight's score as both teams are poor on paper. Think Swindon will edge it though. Not ideal Bees using RR meaning reserves in most races plus a half fit King. If he has to withdraw then we are screwed. Predict 42-48 😕 Maybe management are waiting till after averages drop even more after our next thrashing against Wolves to bring in a new rider 😉 Edited by mdmc82, Today, 11:07 AM.

I have really enjoyed some of the storm meetings esp in 2014 when we had Stefan and Sarjeant but this year's team is very weak and lacks excitement. Laurence Rogers isn't very good at team building or finding new talent and that shows when you compare our team to others. I have only been once this year and sadly will not be in a rush to watch this current team.

I found that strange as well. Unless it's because his average is now higher. If that's the case then it needs updated.

And the win over Poole was brilliant. However we are going to need the riders firing like they did in the second half and not having the terrible start they did against the Pirates. He's a bit out of his depth over there at the minute. However this is his old home track so will most likely do better. KK also struggled in the same meeting yesterday and King is riding with an injury. I think Swindon look average on paper (like us) However, Whilst Tungate is at reserve it strengths them.

It has been raining for a while now tonight even though there wasn't much rain forecast. Heavy rain also forecast between 1pm - 4pm tomorrow.

That's very true.

It is worrying when looking at the match preview. Don't Horton & Havvy see that even if Kacper hadn't got injured, a change was definitely needed. Part of me still isn't convinced that just one would be needed. This team struggle at home and are getting thrashed away. Horton will soon see that poor team often means a poor crowd.

Yes but we were only allowed 3 riders of the heatleader list then

It will be madness not to make a change. We would be battling for the Wooden spoon

What would he do that when it's now we have points spare. Kacper is out for at least 8 weeks

Haha, actually surprisingly they didn't. Great 5-1 with King over the Poole duo in heat 14. 👍🏻

He managed to complete 4 laps last week when he beat Buzz, Watt & Ellis 😉

Met office currently have heavy rain forecast for tomorrow

Yes by the looks of it which means having a reserve in most races like against Poole.

Two poor teams tbf. Coventry depleted with injuries doesn't help either

Same with Coventry. It depends if they ride like they did in the first or second half of our win against Poole. From a Coventry point of few, we still don't know what team we will be watching with King & Woryna both injured. With King a doubt, I wonder if Barker will come in as a heatleader tomorrow 🙈

If you can sign new rider from heatleader list after May 1st then I'm not sure they would be allowed to ride tomorrow as doesn't your team have to be declared 48hours in advance? After tomorrow we have a few more points spare so maybe he will wait until then. (Or maybe I am just hoping)

Shame that Harris went through the tapes in heat 7. Looked his easiest race on paper & one he had a chance of winning. It's not been the best GP yet. The red gate is a big advantage so far and not much over taking.
