Starman2006 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 But a typical comeback from one of the blinkered crew. I wasn't particularly impressed with the Robins line up at the start of the year and these results have done little to change my mind. Killer is class and Morris is slowly getting better year on year however Klindt and Gustafsson are in free fall for a reason. Worrying times for Robins fans. Here come the excuses from the Anti Poole Brigade,,, Don't you just love it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 It was a meeting of two halves. Swindon looked good in the first half and lost their gating abilities in the second half. MOTM - Josh G for me. That was my first match of the season and I can't say I enjoyed the new race format or draft riders. Will definitely pick future meetings too - if I'm not doing something better. Definitely lost the speedway bug and I thought tonight would rekindle it - but it didn't ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Thought the Elite League racing was top drawer tonight. Pawlicki, Killer, Batch all entertaining. But once again the draft riders races are a rip off. Klindt against 3 NL riders? Milik against Compton? You know the result before the tapes go up. Its not a dig at the NL boys. They are cleary trying their nuts off. But its an absolute farce its called the elite!! 17 quid is not value for money and more and more people are going to realise this as the year goes on. Im losing interest already this year and for someone who has been going 25 years come rain or shine thats a worrying thing for me. Even during the year of Nicholls as number 1 I was there every week and going to away matches. Im sure im not the only one who is seeing through this fast track bollox either. Bad times ahead unless you are a Poole or KL fan. Edited April 18, 2014 by thecoombdog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work commitments mean I can't make meetings, but looking at what's been said, I'm not missing much and £17 ain't vfm imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Here come the excuses from the Anti Poole Brigade,,, Don't you just love it.. To be fair to SteveBrum this time, he's actually made a point and given reasons to back up his point that he believes Swindon are a poor side. From seeing them this morning, I can't disagree with what he has said either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well done Benji & Troy as they are the only 2 who can hold their heads up high & to a lesser degree Nick but 1 race win from 10 rides isn't what you expect from your no 1.

morganbike Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Reserve races 20 to Poole 16 to Swindon. Considering Poole are cheating again by using Charlie then it's gonna swing dorsets way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home straight Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 What a sad post as loads of Swindon know that whatever the state of the track Poole have a far better team than us & have spent all day saying it. Congratulations Poole on beaten a poor Swindon team & good luck against Kings Lynn in the final. I take it you didn't read gaters earlier rants then?

van wolfswinkel Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Good crowd about 2500..car park full.. never seen so many kids there, with their free easter eggs...mediocre racing..Poole deserved the win after being 10 points down at the halfway stage. Over 40 quid just ain't good value-for-money so we will be choosing meetings to attend this year.Not worth nearly 200 quid a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I thought it was an excellent match tonight, so it's a bit disappointing to come on here and just see a bunch of whingers and wind ups. Disappointing to lose, but we really threw it away in the middle heats. Some very good racing though. Plenty of clse heats although, of course, there were the normal one or two processions and some unbalanced line ups. Overall, though, i thought the reserves were very entertaining and good value. Swindon don't look like title contenders at the moment but hopefully we'll get more fire from the second strings in the future. Well done Poole. Boooooo!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Good to see humility and humbleness from the South Coast as always... Swindon only have themselves to blame and not for the first time the TR has changed the momentum of the match. As said by others, 1st half of the meeting the Robins gated superbly looking like Greg Hancock and in the 2nd gated like Tony Hancock. Young Josh rode superbly tonight and is a completely different rider to the reserve we saw a couple of seasons ago. I think he was the difference between the 2 teams. Benji did better than expected but the form of Klindt and Gustaffson is already causing for alarm. To be 3 lengths down going in to the turn, even against mediocre riders, is a tough ask. It is clear that we will get 1 decent ride out of 4 per meeting from both of them and that is not good enough. Great effort from Pawlicki in the last race. I think Batchelor hampered PK and should have left him to ride the outside but that would be harsh on Pawlicki as he never gave up and showed guts and determination to pass PK. Overall, a very disappointing day. Well done Poole. You were far too strong and our limitations were well and truly exposed. I think there could be many more days like today.

van wolfswinkel Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Over the 2 matches Poole won 23 heats to Swindon's 7. Only Batch Morra and Compton could be pleased with their performance tonight. Grajczonek was man-of-the-match. Cannot afford to throw 10-point home leads away, 2 home defeats out of 3 now, Klindt and Gusto need to improve quickly. Good to see Lee Kilby completing his bike ride from London to raise funds for Darryl Ritchings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I take it you didn't read gaters earlier rants then? Please don't think we all think that way as I for one had low expectations of the Swindon team even before a wheel was turned. What the track is won't make a jot of difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwayfun Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 We lost so I ain't going - sulk - With supporters like that they don't deserve you.!!! Why not just support your swindon club? You blame us at poole for pulling the sport down, yet you are on here doing it yourselves by wingeing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
