This is very impressive so far , after last night I was fearing a mighty tussle but its a walk in the park , 3 points beckons , the performance gives me further belief we will make Top 4 , I don't think Poole or Coventry will particularly fancy coming to the Abbey if we keep this up ,although it has to be said Swindons reserves are going to be our troublesome spot , I'm so glad Nick Morris is riding like he was in the early months , he will be a big rider in the future , I think we can get minimum a point tomorrow

After last nights entertaining meeting , spoilt by the ref maybe in Heat 12 , there's no way Sergeant moved , Coventry could have been closer at that point but for Chris Harris and his bucking bronco of a bike. , but its history now , Kings Lynn represent the toughest challenge tonight , with a team that includes Iversen,Lindgren,Bjerre and some decent second string they appear as strong as any side could be at the Abbey , if we can get thro tonite I think it might be a springboard , two riders we need to be on form is Nick Morris and our one competitive reserve Charles Wright , heat 2 & 12 will be crucial , big night tonight we need a win so hopefully Ward can lead us to a crucial victory

I can imagine Swindon will get the blame for that , we appear to be accused ,blamed for lots of other stuff according to some sad buggers

well I'm glad u have cleared that up then , because of how well Morris has performed this year we are well within our rights to call upon a reserve of equal average to replace him , no skullduggery involved , is this the case as Swindon are being dragged thro the proverbial as to cheating yet again ,

Are you for real , so we got Harris this time ,we've had Hans and he's been shocking , so Morris ain't riding ,do u not know how well Morris was riding for Swindon , he's been superb so why shouldn't we have a rider who's scores reflect the same average , its not as tho we've brought in Harris for a reserve , Morris was riding at No 1 before Ward came along

I'm a Robins fan and I'm very happy that we have a rider like Harris , I was also happy when we've had Han Anderson for Nick , but Hans was very disappointing in the two or three matches we had , at the end of the day Swindon when Morris was riding was our No 1 , he was riding that well , maybe not at Wolverhampton, but he was going out in Heat 13 & 15 and beating opposing highly rated riders , he earnt his average he wasn't given it , so OK I can't see what all this cobblers is all about , up to his injury he was arguably our best rider , could we have had R/R tonite I don't know , Harris was naff on Saturday , he might be another Hans Anderson for us but I hope he scores loads

Both the Aces and Robins will be top 4 I reckon ,Stars are beginning to show a few nerves and obviously the unfortunate Lewis situation will not help , fingers crossed for him and all his close family , maybe the Stars will use it as a motivation , hope we hear some positive news soon

I still think the Stars will be dragged back into the mix , its two from three rather than The Aces or Robins , lots of fixtures against one another

Yeah ,Belle Vue to win easily and destroy Wolves confidence just a little bit more ready for Swindon visit on Monday , either way I hope all riders around the country tonite have a safe evening , best of luck to both teams ,whatever I say won't change the result , if Wolves ride well they are capable due to track similarities but the Aces will be very focused Is Josh riding this evening , if so I hope and expect the crowd will be very supportive to him , brave boys this lot but it take plenty of guts I imagine to show your competitiveness after Sunday , good luck to Josh

I predict a massive improvement in Holder and Watt tonight , if only the lottery was that easy to predict ,

If Poole have a top 3 of Ward,Holder & Majic next year the rest of us may as well drop into Premier League , there's not enough interest from GP riders to ride here to be any competition in other teams , so if there is some manipulation of rules it will be the whole Elite league that suffers , Sky will drop it at some point , Hans Anderson and Chris Holder seem both to be riding badly tho I hope they ain't doing anything silly . For me having Darcy in our team has been fantastic , like the days of Leigh Adams , when we were always good , I can understand Poole's fans wanting all three back together but it would be such a boring league it could be the last straw for a lot of other fans from other clubs , Swindon may as well drop down , as I don't like saying it but Bachelor/Kildemand and whoever will not be good enough , I hope we can somehow convince Ward to stay but I doubt it

That's very harsh , what a team manager , we beat you his actions payed off , your choppsy announcer was reprimanded , if that was Havelock his toys and dummy would be all over the track , he's the whinger Steve

I'm hoping it's your normal team effort of late and we beat u again , the way Belle Vue rode last night we need to match them , the other concern I have is Swindon have had a long break between matches and might catch us out , yes league table does not lie they have both been better than the Robins but we are in better shape than we were and the gap is closing , I do think it's two from three for the playoffs , The Stars are creaking at the moment , I do appreciate tho that the circumstances of Lewis is very difficult at the moment , fingers crossed for him and his family & friends

. Your falling apart double D , Swindon are the last thing u should worry about , SteveBrum will be very amusing at Poole's expense , Belle Vue will be strong challengers too ,

With the scoreline here and at Wolves the Stars will be seriously looking over there shoulders

Holder having a nightmare , again

. Yep , cannot agree with u more ,fingers crossed for all concerned

U sound jealous , ha ha , get a grip , he has issues with successful teams (hopefully) do you ? I'm just being joining in the waffle

the thing is Orion , Steve does not have much to shout about as his team are struggling , supporters of other teams will feel the same , Swindon have got the services apart from Tai of the most exciting rider in speedway , its bound too wind em up , Steve enjoys having a laugh , if we fall flat on our they will all be laughing , much as happened today to worry about personal opinions and let it bug us, thoughts are with Lewis and his close family , fingers crossed for you young man

Yeah I agree he would be an asset for any team , Zengota has proved his decision was the correct one with some sparkling scores , but it was unfortunate it came at the price of Howarth

Howarth or Buckowski , the young Brit was definitely unfortunate to miss out at Swindon , if we had him still I would feel like we had a real chance , the pole is a fast rider and when called upon in recent world cups was not embarrassed with his efforts , either for me

Steve Brum , I ain't been on this forum long , but u r very witty and clever with your winding up , I've enjoyed your efforts at this , Swindon is my team but I don't mind what u r saying , it appears you have many issues with us but that is your right , I'm sure there are plenty on here who have suffered your stinging comments but I just picture u as a bit of a joker , keep it up , it does just mean that maybe Swindon are having a resurgence which I'm very happy about , I think you are a Wolverhampton fan , I'm sure good times are around the corner , who knows if and when Darcy goes we might go after Tai , enjoying the banter , keep it coming

Next up for the Robins is a quick return to Monmore after the recent comeback victory , a 39 - 51 win that began a massive week for the Robins , again it will be the reserves that will have a major say on Swindons chances , since that win Charles Wright has suffered injury and he scored 9 that evening with guest Ashley Morris scoring 5 , I would guess Nick Morris would be back by then but he suffered a fall that night that ended his evening , Swindon will be confident of covering his rides , Wolves have the problem that fast Freddie is not so fast at the moment and Peter for once in his long illustrious career does not appear as competitive , a great rider none the less , I think Swindon can again secure big points due to the high confidence and Wolves lack of it , the fact that we have a proper No1 now in Ward spreads confidence thro the team

thanks for that , looking at that situation it's difficult to imagine , I've been going to the Abbey from Gloucester on and off since mid seventies , nothing has changed much but that's what makes it special place as I remember as it was stood on the pits bend where the sky scaffold is , watching Ashby,Kilby,Olsen,Collins ,Mauger,even Tommy Jannson , I agree it needs doing but there will be a bit of sadness as it was part of my childhood and now I take my own and when we go we stand in the same place , I hope they build a track worthy
