A ORLOV

With only 11 riders with an average over 7 it is likely to be kept, although I do not like the idea of breaking up teams every year to fit the team limit.

This will be a long thread if it is.

Not forgetting Simon Stead hopefully.

Is that Starmans winter job ?

Just put out on twitter 4pm 150cc British Final 4.50 Robins remembered 5.00 Parade including many former Robins Followed by 13 heat Swindon Select v Elite League Select, so not a past Swindon riders team. Ending up with firework display. Also something being showcased, details in this weeks Speedway Star.

What will happen tonight at the end of the meeting if Poole only win by 1 or 2 points and the result of any adjustment to the score of the first leg re the goggles issue has not been decided. Also if there is a points adjustment the first leg should be changed to 48 - 44.

That is a shame, the last time I spoke to Jason Phil was living in the uk.

Not sure, and I do not know if one or other will be excluded if there is any tripping up or a punch up between them part of the way round the lap.

The two club mascots will line up at the start gate and run round the track for one lap.

This meeting originally had a theme of present team v past Swindon riders, plus as many of older ex Swindon riders will be presented, so if Crumpie is still in the country I would think he and his dad will be there.

Another case of a lack of a sensible rule, if the ref cannot see if the rider has goggles it should be down to the start marshall to point it out.

The start marshall should have the responsibility of waiving the rider away from the start line or pointing out the no goggle issue to the ref so that the race is not started. If that results in being excluded under the two min rule, well that what happens if the rider is not ready to race.

Am not watching this, do I get the impression the track is crap, again.

Australia like most of the commonwealth have now got their own anthems and most of them are better than the derge we have. Anyway Tai is racing for himself not England, the same as Lewis Hamilton did at the weekend, or maybe they also think the National Anthem is old fashioned, out of date and uses words that they do not believe in. The sooner the anthem is dumped and a replacement is taken up the better.

El Tel is concerned about rumours etc but I believe he originally stated that the build was 4 months, something that most people new was not possible. Now it is 5 with a possible 6, which takes us past the start of the season. It would help to stop rumours if he explained what is the plan when the season starts and the stadium is not ready.

Club statement http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2557 No doubt Orion etc will answer this.

El Tel has slammed rumours of Swindon moving to Oxford, as has Rosco, El Tel will be issuing another statement later today.

Chris and Kacper only scored 3 points each in their Polish meeting today.

As you have previously made clear. But Richard cannot see that!!!.

Did not take the above seriously at all, but well before that post it was stated by someone that it would not be of FIM standard. If it is that is great.

It has been stated on this thread that the track has not been built to FIM standard so unless things have changed or the FIM have an international standard size but ignore it how can they run International meetings. Also it seems that BSI will go to a stadium but only if they pay the extortionate staging fee. Is BV or the Council prepared to pay BSI to hold one of their meetings?.

So you and a couple of others keep saying, hence the wording of check for any progress in November.

They could complain about the existing stadium noise so the issue of a new stadium should not arise. Steve0 that is probably plan C as B should be use existing track with it being made shorter.

Thank you for the information you are obtaining Buzz, one needs to hope that those that pass or work at the site can report progress some time in November. Am still concerned about the time scale, especially if we get a bad winter. Lets hope there is a plan B which is viable for any delays.

Is this an early meeting thread for 2016 then ?
