To make more money is the logic ...in all over sports finals cost more to get in why not speedway ..After all clubs are losing money so why should they not make some to help them out . As for a rip off ..there is no con ..the price is £ 20 to watch the final. You then have the choice to pay that or not ,there is no law forcing you to go .

It's not what said or asked in your first post ..your question was why the track was like it was and then saying the blame was on Rosco for having it like that . As I explained and it was confirmed by Tatum after speaking to Ronnie Russell that it had to be like that due to the heavy rain over the weekend and the poor forcast for the afternoon of the meeting ...not an excuse as the track was the same for both sides just the facts ..no doubt a great trackman like yourself would have covered the track in heavy dirt so if it did rain the match would have had no chance of taking place and Swindon speedway would have lost there biggest crowd and income of the season . Your Point about Rosco looking at the track and then getting his riders to adap to it if a another and maybe a valid point but not the question you asked in your first post .

Nothing to do with Rosco the forecast at the start of the day was for rain between 4 and 7 o'clock hence the track prep .Of course the rain never came and we ended up with a dry and slick track .

They cant use a guest to replace Ellis ..it would be rr

Fair enough never knew that .

First of all well done wolves a well deserved win ...a number factors did not help Swindon ,the slick track no doubt fearing the rain Ellis and Dwd not being 100 % fit and a poor start to the meeting for Morris ..I thought Howarth and Masters were outstanding for Wolves with the rest giving good support . Lucky Wolves never had there full side out on another note I thought ref was shocking ..letting riders on both sides get away with rollers and there is no way Morris made the 2 mins in heat 13 ..the clock had ran out when he was nowhere near the start .

? In 8 out of 10 seasons the title race would be over by June..so incorrect .all you do live in the past .

You did indeed . there ready to taken down to Swindon in a moments notice by all accounts

Your joking surely ..I grant you he's not very good at it but he's does it all the time

Yea it is ..what has happened is that every now then a press release comes out giving the fans hope that the stadium is not far from happening . it's quite clever and keeps the great unwashed in check It's high time for someone important to say this is a load of bull and take Clarke and Co to task . The fans deserve some answers and truth .

What would be the difference between two teams that had already been assured of qualification and two teams who at the bottom of the league ? both matches would mean nothing . And who do think would get the better crowd ?

Swindon are no doubt massive favs to win now and will looking to rack up a win of between 16 and 20 points to take to Wolves . What they must do is get the mind set right and not think it's easy and slip up . The luck has fallen for Swindon and they really have to make the most of it with a title on the line ..

amazing ..i thought if you were not fit to ride you would .

Without the promise of a new stadium they not have got the planning to build the houses that will make them more money that the stadium would cost ..of course if you then don't built it even better .

But there not in other sports who's crowds have gone up ..so speedway fans are the only sports fans who don't go anymore because of the Play Offs .

Looking at it it's one of thou's when no one should go , sadly the rules don't allowed that ...I cant really see what anyone done wrong ..hard to blame the ref who is forced make a choice .

No

Well done Wolves ..yet again the Belle vue fans let there team down during and after the match by all accounts ...why not lose with good grace for a change ?

Hard luck Fred I really feel for you never mind always next year now let the blame game and self pity Belle Vue style begin ...

Who are you going to blame if you lose ?

Belle vue are favs massive to win ..but they do tend to choke . The one thing for sure If they do lose the BV fans will blame everyone but themselves and the self pity will be massive as normal .

You can read it many ways ...what you say makes sense but you also say they are no longer in it anymore .

Poor show by the BV fans the stadium has been wasted on them ..there again any sign of rain and they won't be able to get the meeting on anyhow

Enjoy your sour grapes enjoying the final .

Bet Rosco was gutted by his form ..the bottom line is the ko cup means sod all you tell by the crowds ..saving him for this worked out a treat .
