  1. Make sure you give him the correct money
  2. They won the league last year ...try to think before you post
  3. Spot on post ..your find it hard to find a Swindon fan who gives rats ass that he rides for Berwick ..as you say people would only care if he missed meetings because of that . get the fixture list sorted out to avoid clashes and it's not a problem .
  4. A successful winning team with better riders will bring bigger crowds in .
  5. Yea that is no doubt that is the main reason ..if it's allows a few good riders to come back all the better .
  6. ? THE numbers have been poor this year ..surely you must have been reading rosco asking why the fans are not supporting a winning side etc and asking people to turn up .
  7. We were not even on a winning run when Doyle was missing the home matches ..the crowds for the wolves and Belle vue matches were way down on what you would expect .rosco confirmed that at the time .
  8. The question of can we pay for them is quite clearly another matter and in most cases we can't ...but to say they don't bring in better crowds is madness ..I am sure the main reason for fixed nights is to stop fixtures clashes between the leagues meaning that there is no clashes for the double up riders so teams can track there normal 1 to 7 's .if also brings some better riders back then all the better .
  9. If fixed nights is done with only the premiership riding on thou's night it serves loads more than one purpose ..never understood this this thing that top stars don't bring in bigger crowds .. in football .if Messi plays at Swindon town next week the crowd would much bigger even if he much better than the rest, and you could used that example in nearly every sport . But somehow in speedway it's different ? I don't think so .
  10. Be serious ? how about you start being that ...on the start of our run we beat the likes of Belle Vue Wolves etc with Doyle and Morris etc missing even thou we were massive underdogs with the bookmakers to do so. in fact v Belle vue Swindon were +16 on the hc to win ...don't start going on about riders missing guests and rr as Swindon have had as many as the next club . Your comment is even more odd as Swindon when they so say fell apart last night were full of these guests and rr that in your opinion are so easy to beat .
  11. Can't believe you put in a probably lol
  12. ? Most clubs are having 1 home meeting every 3 weeks so having one every two weeks will be much better .
  13. Yea of course ..little point in spoiling a match for The fans with so little on it. I would happy for Fred to still ride if he was 10 mins late .Who wants to win matches in that manner because someone has been killed in a road accident.
  14. Tricky to predict the robins. thou they are on a winning run they have look a bit tired and beatable of late .Hope we can carry on useing davey at 7 as at least he looks like he can bit up the odd vital point .
  15. Just think the match up v Belle Vue is a good one for us .I still feel Poole can hurt us if they click .When it comes to the crunch I don't think the management will pick Belle vue thou .
  16. in fairness thou I doubt we fear rye house I think we should pick bv over Rye or Poole
  17. What would you say his strong point is ? Lol.answers on a postage stamp
  18. Amazed wolves agreed to the match seeing if knew if 3 or 4 riders were going to get injured that would be in trouble for the second match ...Also amazed that the track was deep at the start when you have 30 heats to run
  19. Why is it Chapman fault that 3 riders got hurt and could not ride in the second match ..ive seen loads of teams have rr and run double headers ..just back luck .any team that have a double header and have 3 riders pulled out are going to be trouble .Not sure I get the link to why Holder and Batchelor would be laughing unless it's out of spite .
  20. Why were they unlucky ..swindon had loads of bad luck and never put Doyle in 15 and still won
  21. fair comment I never knew that to be honest .
