Sidney the robin

A narrow win on aggregate for the Budgies i recon but this could be a tough evening.Even with Belle Vue having a disappointing season the aces are still an attractive team to watch with Fricke, Bewley,Lidsey, Etheridge all riders i like and will more and likely be the core of there 2020 line up.

Most of us have lumps and bumps Bagpuss but the Poole track has more than most.!!!I. I can only see an away win to be honest with Poole picking Ipswich for the semi final.Deep down i am hoping Poole pick Swindon with the thought of a little extra revenue softening the blow for if they were to lose in the semi.

You keep saying the standard has dropped i would say the Premiership level is as good as it has been for a while.Seeing Douglas/ Becker at reserve shows you that the level is not that bad.You think by bringing in the top stars that would rectify the problems i think not i would rather each club live within there means and keep the club's afloat.

He rode within himself because he did not trust the track.

He is good at Shovelling s... !!!!!

The track is one of the reason's why Holder's average is so low if he say went to Belle Vue he would easily put a point plus on his average.

Regrettably you are right a real shame as i believe the NL has come along way.

Totally right and being on a Sunday might of been a hindrance a renowned family day.If i can remember rightly Swindon did have a few meeting's around that time and not everyone has a budget to say stretch to three or four meetings in 20 days.I think the sprocket team could attract 500 regular's but on that day it did not show it i hope Lee Kilby has a rethink on that over the winter.

Terrific with young riders he would give them lots of help he was great mates with the great Phil Crump.

Jack Millen was painted as a villain but he had the respect of his fellow riders and he was regarded as one of the nicest guys you could of met.

You are deluded Swindon up until the playoffs will barely break even, does a sponsor help to pay for Jason ??? The club have made great strides this year under Rosco/ and Lee Kilby and the crowds have been generally very good but there has been a few weeks when they have been lower than they have deserved to be .The NL fixture was a huge disappointment gate wise and people are picking and choosing there meeting's more nowadays but yes you are right the club are going in the right direction.

Thanks and i am sure thing's will be alot better for your lot next season a strong King's Lynn that can compete away from home makes the league much stronger.One thing that you did not touch on and is regularly being highlighted by your fans, is it financial? is it just sheer stubbornness but why has the dark shail not been replaced.? King's Lynn is certainly one of the BEST racing tracks i have been to up there with Hyde RD, Sheffield,Halifax, now it is a shell of a track to what it used to be.

I thought you was a Buster fan Webby.!!!!!

What you said about the crowds really dropping off Mike is exactly right i believe in yesteryear getting a Mauger,Briggs,Olsen, turn up at your track really made a difference.Yet now in recent years even Woffinden at Wolves did not make that much difference on the gate and the extra fans money you did get soon got swallowed up by paying his wages. The sport has to go back to basics pay within your means and try and put a show on that everyone can enjoy.Bringing the big boys back in this climate is not the answer in my experience i can enjoy a NL meeting just as much as a Premiership meeting.

Ah and you have always said that and i totally agree for me Ipswich would be slight favourite's over Poole.

I got shot down the other month by Lord remainer Shovlar when i dared to suggest that Poole would be one of the weakest left in the playoffs.Of course they have my total respect and there record is all there to be seen over the last twenty years but myself personally would rather ride Poole than Wolves/Ipswich.

I am with you Baldy for me all four teams have a shout so the semi will not be easy whoever it is.For what it is worth Poole are the side i would choose (ie) because we can beat them also hasarding a guess i recon we would get at least 3/400 more fans in for the semi if it is Poole that is the theory anyway.

But over 2 legs????

I actually believe we can beat Poole, Wolves are a difficult tie for everybody and yourselves with the boost of signing Puk comeback in with a squeak.Also our promotion and Poole's might think of the semi final revenue with the final cash as the next incentive.If Ippo can get Lawson going they are a threat i would fancy Ipswich to beat Poole over two.

I think if????? Swindon finish top we would pick Poole.?

He is a championship rider and his average and circumstances have gone against him this year.But to achieve the average he has with not quite having the race sharpness is some achievement he actually has a higher home average than Ellis.

With no Jorgensen and maybe Palm Toft out this is as good a chance as any to get an away win.Also hopefully Lambert is not firing so who knows my heart tells me though that Swindon will only get a point tonight.

Would that be Bickley as your young Brit? and would he be aloud to double up as i presume he won't be aloud to do NL.

You did say about the money you have never ever believed in the Championship/ Natinal league product you are a prem league tart ,You twist thing,'s around you believe that the quality of rider rectifies thing's make more people turn up to meeting's maybe it does but i would rather every track pay within there means.

Well that shows just how much you know, weren't you there were you skint??? potless probably. Yes the National league has to be run around the fixture list as most people have not got a endless pit of money to spend but it does not mean fans don't enjoy It .Woffinden turns up gets ihis 2/3 grand a meeting the crowd is hopefully??? 1,600/800 ??? do your sums it is not rocket science.!!!
