  1. Must be serious inquest at Poole. The 4th. team in the league dominates the top team for 75% of play offs, they must have wanted it a lot more.
  2. Congrats to Ipswich, should have wrapped it up in first leg, and well done to Poole, finishing top, but ending the season with nuffink. Holder let them down at Swindon as well. Apart from him their team looks good. Just need 1 or 2 Brits. The Witches could surprise Swindon or Wolves as well.
  3. Reason I wanted Ippo to win, no English riders in Poole team. Well done Danny King.
  4. Can only hope for a southwest final between these top 2. Swindon and Poole never know when they're beaten...would be a great final.
  5. Muesli scored12 last time there..so with Doyley and Batch hopefully hitting double figures the top 5 need to be hitting 40 to set up a close match at the Tangerine Arena..Black country 47 West country 43. Hoping for a Knob v Moonie final
  6. I had a bottle of water confiscated a few years ago..they chucked it in a skip..but when they weren't looking I fished it out again. Wear trousers with lots of pockets..you can take food in..put at bottom of bag. Just eat and drink on the way in. At least you don't have to carry a chair in.
  7. Wouldn't have thought most people stay. A big plus point is it definitely won't be rained off. Plus the opportunity to see the best 15 riders in the world. Just wished we had better riders in GB. The stadium would have been full in the 1970s!
  8. Watching Swindon beat Belle Vue on Thursday for their first top tier Cup win as opposed to Vue's 14 was for me better than Bomber winning 2007 GP. Fantastic atmosphere, hundreds of fans celebrating with the riders, which is rarely attained now in league speedway.
  9. I took someone to Cardiff, they loved it, was their first speedway meeting, but quickly lost interest when they started watching league speedway. Even though the racing wasn't any better. 40000 at Cardiff compared to 1200 at Swindon stood on a grass bank looking through a fence. It's the atmosphere and the event. The occasion. Still think 2017 was best GP for racing. My first in 2005 was the best, was amazed by the whole event and atmosphere.
  10. Be interesting to know how many supporters of league teams go to Cardiff. Say about 18000 go to league meetings weekly, but over 40000 go to GP. Most Swindon fans I know don't go to Cardiff, but I know some people that only go once a year to GP. Will definitely be going next year as bruv from Australia is coming over for it.
  11. Well done Cookie and Rasser. Zummerzet is a great track.
  12. Even Swindon Council is tangerine, and a robins breast feathers are not red. Belle Vue were well and truly tango'd!
  13. Great to see Robins win on BBC West news, and front page of Adver.
  14. Must have been at least 2000 there..biggest crowd this season. Good to see attendances are up. Vue must have fancied their chances..2 up overall at interval..then the Robins ran riot. Great to hear the Tangerine Arena roar.
