SUPERACE Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Good entertaining meeting and a well deserved winner in Rooboy though I couldn't believe some Swindon fans reaction that they don't want him next season if he is signed up If who is signed up. If you mean Rory you don't need to worry he's not going to be at Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Feel for the poole riders that their club is disliked by so many other teams. I dont think this is down to them winning the league as other teams win things and dont get booed. it is down to the inside influences they have in the board and therefore when i have spoke to alot of other speedway fans and not coventry fans, these were fans of swindon, kings lynn and peterborough, they have all said how this year they think it has been a hollow victory by poole. shame as riders still give it their all and think without ford on the board they would be taken seriously when win things and liked more by other teams As a Swindon fan (not one of the "lots" you have spoken to) Poole's victory was not hollow - it was well deserved. What is hollow is the sour grapes from Coventry - get over it By the way, well done Rory - he looked good at the Bob Kilby meeting and he carried this onto the ELRC-well done Edited October 16, 2011 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Lucifer Sam, that crowd estimate makes it very difficult to argue with the pricing. Its anyone's guess of course how many more would have attended for a fiver less but I can't imagine it would have been too many more if your figure is accurate.

ImpartialOne Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 By the way, well done Rory - he looked good at the Bob Kilby meeting and he carried this onto the ELRC-well done Yes well done Rory and well done to Scott Nicholls on a fine performance. You really put those knockers (or another word for knockers) who call themselves fans of your club in their place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 An excellent meeting on a well prepared Blunsdon circuit. Best meeting for a long time. Large crowd despite the price(I still feel too much) but that's personal. Some cracking duels, plenty of passes and plenty of commitment. Disappointed Darky/Holder need not make the semi/final as they gave it plenty. Nicholls stepped up to the plate and put in an excellent performance and it was disappointing to see him pipped on the run in. I am hoping he has another season at The Abbey. However, Schlein had looked in sublime form and was probably a deserving winner. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great to read that most riders were giving it a good go, that's all that matters to the fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 A fsntastic meeting raced in front of a fantastic crowd. The ELRC has had plenty of criticism over the last few years, and this years event took plenty of criticism before a wheel had been turned. This was one of the best race meetings I've seen for some time on a well prepared race track. For those that were saying that the riders do not care for this meeting or make any effort, you obviously forgot to tell Rory Schlein or Chris Harris to take it easy! Would have liked to have seen Scotty win it after the season both he and Swindon have had, but Rory has had a great season and won the trophy in superb fashion, so well done Rory. Presentation was also pretty slick last night, so well done to all involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 As others have said, it was an excellent meeting. Plenty of commitment & good hard racing. Track was much better than I remember with a choice of lines around each bend and the gates were even as well. Well done Swindon, it was well worth the trip and for 22 races the price wasn't too bad. Felt sorry for Scott, he was clearly gutted. I'll be getting the DVD on order for Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cee the bee Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yep Colin Cooke is chomping on those sour grapes I think you'll find those grapes are being matured in the garden for next years champagne, enjoy it while it lasts.

bennyr Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Schlein . not young but then not old . Australian . Is somebody going to start a new thread Will Rory Schlein ever be world champion ? Maybe he should be given the new zealand wild card in the opening gp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy swindon pete Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 annoyed i couldnt make it last night... sounded like i missed a cracker. fair play to the swindon faithful's favorite, Schlien. sounds like he was on top form. if only i'd remembered to stick that tenner on him at 14/1. not sure if i'd have been happy to see scott win it or not...especially as he's rarely won heats at blunsdon this season. shows his class and commitment though...we need to make sure we hang on to him for next season as second heat leader. good to hear the track was good as well... as much as people try to deny it, Ronnie has worked wonders on the track since he took up the track man job a couple of years ago. Its returned to the great track it once was again. glad there was a good crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond odd. Had a go at Bomber last year until Harris gave him a verbal blast on the radio. Next thing he completely changed his tune and was suckering up. Probably spent too long now outside the Old Bailey thinking that was where Sandhu was headed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
