I expected a closer meeting with the Rebels having a few ex-Robins and others that ride Blunsdon well. Well done to Nick - a paid max including 2 wins over WC Doyle. Great result!

A very unexpectedly close meeting with Poole unlucky to lose it in the end! Looks like certain Poole riders have sorted themselves out - just in time for them to strengthen - interesting!

He’s not riding here and was replaced by K Bjerre

Has the BSPA approved Starke in the team - even if it is only for a couple of meetings?

He can't guest for Stefan or James because his average is higher. Poole have re-declared their team with him in it - and will do the same when Klindt comes along.

Not a surprise that Klindt will be joining the pie rats!

What is clear is that he is not cover for Nielsen as his average is higher. Therefore, the team has to be redeclared (and approved by BSPA) to accommodate Auty. Expect further team changes and Auty might be one to make way (for Klindt?)

For at least a couple of meetings

Neither of which are direct replacements and only possible because of averages dropping elsewhere in the team. It’s not fair to compare.

He’s had a full season in the top league and part of a successful Championship club - so a bit disrespectful to refer to him as rubbish. With the other riders signed, there was only a couple of points left to play with and Shanes was the best of the available bunch.

If you sign a 2 point rider, you can’t say he is rubbish if that’s what he is scoring. If he was a 3 or 4 point reserve then that’s the average you would expect. A 2-3 pointer doesn’t suddenly become 3-4 points overnight and given time, Shanes possibly would have improved - but he wasn’t given enough time to show any improvement and became a scapegoat for a massively underperforming team

Freddie should have been disqualified for his move on Tai

Right call by ref to exclude Janowski

To be fair (and bring some balance) they are only 2 points off a playoff place!

It is in the Adver http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/speedway/16245723.Robins_struggled_to_get_dialled_in_on__concrete__Rye_House_track__says_team_manager_Rossiter/ Swindon have KL next.

Will have to wait for Rye House to drop EK again. Lahti is going well in Europe this season apparently - just like he was last season - just not consistently for Poole.

The rest of the league are worried now

Who is he guesting for?

I disagree - the Rye House team has been built to be strong at home. Sadly, they do not seem to do so well away from the tight Hoddeson track.

Still lowering averages? Some things never change for the pie rats

Looks like Poole updates on Twitter have thrown the towel in after 3 heats. Reporting the score as 8-31

Last year’s playoff final springs to mind - who would have expected Swindon to lose at home and then to win away to leave ft the title? It’s not over until it’s over - granted Rye House have a mountain to climb!

KL fans deserve some success in the top league and this result will surely help towards a playoff place - assuming they keep this form up and keep improving

I bet Rye House are glad that’s over - a bad day at the office for them. Well done Swindon
