A ORLOV

Swindon cannot run on wednesdays unless the dog people change their race night, we can only run Mon, Thurs or Fri.

They have left Oxford and returned to Old Deer Park, Richmond.

Because they are not that bright ?

It would help if all teams had ridden an equal number of meetings but providing there are not too many meetings run difference you could still do it as the averages would not change much. I agree that if it was 12 meetings for one club and 6 for another that then it may be awkward. Maybe a window would encourage all clubs to catch up on meetings not run and then a panic at the end of the season.

Just wish we had a NL Club at or near Swindon.

Good practice for the Brits prior to the SWC.

Should have said each month

They should have two lasers one in place of the tapes, with the power to set light to the front tyre or melt the front wheel and one just behind the a#se of the riders to stop them moving or rolling backwards.

Looks great

That is only because it is a leap year

Some foreign riders may just want to do part of a season, anyway it is not to get top riders the idea is to strengthen the teams rather than the dumbing down that takes place most years. It also allows clubs to put them back in a position to fight for a playoff spot if they can afford it and if the right riders are willing to be signed up.

I like the idea of a window at which point any club can strengthen their team up to the highest average in the league.

Thanks and now for an insite into a sport that is on every ones mind, synchronised swimming

With all the rain due wed and thurs I doubt if many tracks can take heavy machinery

Yet I am sure Rosco mentioned fri, which is strange with GPs on the sat and some practicing taking place on fridays. The fri may have now changed since Poland has announced fri night meetings.

That was what we kept being told, but the council have still not yet signed off the planning consent.

It is difficult to work out the size from the pictures seen, but it seems to have decent wide sweeping bends. Anyway it should not matter with Rohan as it is unlikely it will be ready in 2016.

I think the meeting on the 25th at Poole is at midday and Somerset is in the evening so no clash there

I am surprised there are only 2 clashes

Cannot recall seeing him ride but will hope Rohan can get somewhere near what Dak was capable of.

Would like to see either Ryan Douglas or Todd Kurtz if not Rohan.

Would definitely like to have Scotty Nicholls and Sofie, very good presenters and interviewers

That is a blow but understandable, if not another Aussie may have to change my picture again. Rosco may have to get his leathers out, and lose a bit of weight.

No he would not, you have him.

You have listed the reasons why a rider would want a retainer if signing as a squad member stops them riding for another team if offered a meeting or series of meetings. I suppose the odd rider may be prepared to sign up to those conditions without a payment. I have no idea where the extra money would come from apart from the clubs expecting to get extra fans because of the standard of rider they include in the team, an example of this was that the number of fans went up when Darcy rode for Swindon. Not sure how the squad riders abroad are retained if they do not get a ride and are offered a position or meeting with another club.
