Leicester have improved at home lately since the inclusion of Masters. Worrall & Cook very strong around there I think this could go either way. Another 4pts here would be great for Belle Vue's play off chances.

Good weather for speedway. Overcast but dry all day. Still warm. I think looking at the strengthened Leicester team and the recent form of Hans, Robbo & the absence of Sarjeant, this meeting could be close.

Match fixing is very serious and if Swindon have deliberately lost to drop their averages and all of a sudden Ward is in the team then I doubt the BSPA would do anything. Average manipulation can also have big risks though, not only of missing out on top 4 but if a rider gets injured and they have dropped their average it's then going to be harder to get a guest.

I guess we will soon see if all of a sudden Ward appears in the team. I'm sure if it does turn out to be true then it will turn a lot of fans against Swindon as the sport is already in a mess but this would be a new low. Fans paid out their money to watch it tonight.

Well said. Although it would be a big risk to take when Belle Vue are their strongest rivals for the place offs. With Rolling averages also playing their part, I don't think this meeting would make a huge difference, enough to not need changes. The reserves also played a big part in this score tonight. Maybe Belle Vue were just very good. Worrall, Fricke & Cook have all been in great form lately. Riders do have bike problems (JK has a nightmare with his bikes when bees recently visited) Zengota scored well.

Brilliant group win for Belle Vue. Very surprising result. Aces are now 4th in the league and have a very strong chance of picking up points at Leicester on Saturday and possibly at home on Monday which could place a firmer hold on the play off position. I think Swindon will bounce back from this

👍🏻

@RobinsUpdates: Not one rider has come over to see if Lewis rose is okay after falling in Heat 12 , he is excluded. That's not very good. Hopefully he's ok

Rose is a really good rider as he showed last year. Hopefully he will regain some of his confidence & form soon Agree about the points. IF Belle Vue get 3 or 4 points tonight, it will put them right back in the play off race which will put pressure on Swindon & Wolves

Only Zengota and North really doing anything tonight so far so not sure it can just be put down to Adrian being missing or the guest.

Brilliant so far by Belle Vue. Winning 21-9

If you were there then you would know why that started. We would hopefully all protect a family member.

Thats what has been said on other sites as well. Trying to provoke them for a response. Sarjeant is one of the quietest, nicest riders there are.

That's because unlike some riders, they give 100% for their team even when injured. Look at Harris in the 2010 play offs. 👍🏻 👍🏻 exactly

I agree esp with Harris & Garrity carrying injuries. Sarjeant will be a big loss. Zengota is much stronger than Bridger would have been.

Think we definitely need to replace Robson but who with. Hans could be handy at Reserve if gets his bike problems sorted 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

Would imagine he will be out a couple of weeks with badly bruised ribs, extremely painful. Looking at available riders, Bates looks the best option.

Where have we made excuses. If you read my posts then you would see I said Poole deserved their win tonight.

That would be way too sensible 👍🏻

@GaryHavelock: Just at hospital with @jamessarjeant3 he has lots of pain but thankfully nothing broken and no punctured lung(which was 1st thought)👌🏾👍🏽👊🏾 Ribs Badly bruised

There's a difference cheering when a rider first goes down (which isn't good) and cheering when they are told a rider is injured. I can honestly say I have never heard fans cheering at Brandon or any other track before when a riders being treated on track and they have been told he's injured or when being told an ambulance is needed. That's just sick and shocking.

Sarjeant was injured at Poole tonight and is in hospital. @LynsayLaw11: @poolespeedway just had a text off him no breaks cracks or punctures just badly bruised ribs thank god!

Thanks Mikebv. 👍🏻

Andersen has said he had a new engine and couldn't get the correct set up. Hoping for much better from both him & Robson as tonight was really poor and cost us points. Garrity & Harris scored well and they were carrying injuries. Poole were the better team tonight and deserved the win.

Update on Sarjeant @LynsayLaw11: @poolespeedway just had a text off him no breaks cracks or punctures just badly bruised ribs thank god!
