and if Batch had been firing......

All if and buts. You could of course say if Batch had fired, Swindon would have won by more.

Typical Zagar. Class one minute, abysmal the next. Or is it agent Mateij?

Sorry, I don't follow you.

Your glass really is half empty is t it? When you say 'the majority of the time the club sign riders who are on the way down', how about the signing of Ben Barker a few years ago? What about Mikkel B Jensen? What about Jack Holder? Three terrific signings in my opinion. Plymouth have a superb little track with a huge catchment area for a fan base. Once they find the key to a decent side, the crowds will pour into the SBA, mark my words.

He must be a target for next year's Rebels side jenga. Especially with him riding locally at Swindon.

I thought Richie was missing this match? Just noticed the bottom of your post.

Polish championships. Same as Zengi.

Another early exit from the competition I'm afraid.

You are clocking up some miles. Bristol to Peterborough and back, Bristol to Poole and back! All in less than a week!

Easy win for the Rebels. By at least 12.

Think you may have caught a tiddler.....

Hoping Swindon show more consistency at Blunsdon than they did last year. Another home win would be just what the Doctor ordered. However, Wolves will provide a stern test. Karlsson is a little unpredictable around the Abbey, so they will need him firing on all cylinders. Robins by 4 points.

You can see that Leigh is happy at Somerset. He has quickly become very popular with the fans and clearly has a good relationship with the management team. As already stated by others, he is a true professional Not for the first time in his career a 4 hour trip to his home matches is taken in his stride!

Good man! They will need every voice possible! Can't ever recall a team of guests doing well anywhere. Still, here's hoping!

Aston Villa Blu? I thought an exiled Scot living in Suffolk might at least support Ipswich! Not this time Baggers.....sadly.

It was certainly lower than the previous two matches, but when you consider they were a local derby against Plymouth and a Poole select side (which still drew a big crowd) there was no surprise it was lower last night, especially after Rye's three dreadful performances at the OTA last season.

What you don't realise is that he was probably making reference to the fact that the Rockets were in with a shout for much of this meeting. The final score flattered the Rebels. Rye House made a real fist of it and mixed it with the Somerset riders as well as out gating them on a regular basis. Jacobsen, Aspgren, Vissing and Boxall were all competitive pretty much throughout the meeting. There were numerous passes and tight finishes. The meeting was run smoothly by referee Robinson with no re-runs or tape infringements. Although dusty later on in the meeting, the track was first class with two racing lines. Great entertainment.

Was quite looking forward to seeing this much improved Rockets side tomorrow. However, just seen their side. Another thumping win for the Rebels I reckon.

You have obviously not seen Brady Kurtz in action then! He rarely makes the start and regularly comes from the back.

Now this would be a decent match for Sky to cover. Always decent racing at Monmore and some of the Aces are pretty good there too

I thought Holder looked like he had plenty of potential. Ok he had two poor rides (his first was because he penalised himself by moving at the start) but then in two of his other rides he showed he had fire in his belly by chasing Brady hard for the first lap before losing ground on the flying Aussie Rebel, but then also keeping Richie Worrall honest for all four laps.

Ah that explains it. Looked a great prospect last night. Neat and tidy style and mature in his racing awareness.

My first view of Lambert. Very impressed. Was it my TV or does he look a little portly?
