Who finishes Top • Robins or Pirates?
Ovalman replied to ReadingRacer2017's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Wolves would not be Swindon's choice. -
Would be good orlovski. Feel good factor in sn25 at moment..3 good meetings in 8 days, good crowds, massive wins, good racing, and cup final and hopefully playoffs to look forward to. Lee Kilby is doing a good job promoting the sport. But 3 weeks till the final home leg. Fixtures too erratic.

Probably Poole with the home matches left..but they won't want Swindon in the finals..no one will. Should be a trophy for top team as well. -
Speedway Promotion or Lack of it.
Ovalman replied to greyhoundp's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Some great promoting at Swindon by Lee Kilby, 3 meetings in 8 days, car parks full for all three, decent crowds. With special deals for fans, events, kids stuff. Much better racing since they've altered the track. And Robins top of the league, with cup final to look forward to. Can only see it getting better. Just shows with enthusiasm Barry Bishop on the IOW and Lee at Swindon can improve crowds. -
That's fair comment...but some that are near a track can make it and can afford it. Sky used to have 150000 viewers, so 100000 more than BT. Some terrestrial tv coverage would be good. I live 2 miles from the Abbey but cant afford 3 matches in 8 days.
-
But most homes don't have BT Sport. They had a bigger audience on Sky. So less than 50000 watch on tv? I've attended 2 Swindon matches this week, neither on tele, good crowds and good racing, in good weather. Was VFM. And thrashing the top 2 Poole and Ipswich made it more enjoyable!
-
Total thrashing, could have hit 70. Another good crowd and Swindon go top. Ippo were embarrassing. Vissing won rider of the night. Record Premiership score this season, home and away against the Witches. Go Robins!!!

They've recently been upgraded..they now have lights, and a grade 2 listed status!

Good to see in the Speedway Star, top 2 biggest away wins this season have been by Swindon at Poole and Ipswich, 53-37. Surprising as the Robins have just ended a 17 match run of away league defeats.
-
55-35..but would prefer the last heat humdinger we had last time.
