Swindon V Belle Vue 26/5/14


Recommended Posts

Track catching riders out and rain coming down. Do Swindon fans still want it to be stopped like they did when Bees were there?

 

Rosco embarrassing himself ranting about that race being awarded and positions when heat 2 should have been awarded

It seems both teams still want to ride past heat 10

Noticing that Cook turned away from the nearby finishing line so didn't complete the race. When i was little and first attended speedway i'm sure that if a rider didn't finish the race he didn't get paid. So has Cook just declined money or in these days of signing fees and guarantees he wasn't fussed or do you get paid for simply starting a race?

Cook is fine on the big tracks in the PL, in the EL he struggles at them. Especially if he doesn't gate.

 

Wouldn't be in my team for the World Cup.

Never heard that. Used to be called start money for a reason.

At least no interviews with the drama queen !

 

Happy Soul aren't you...

 

Apparently the 'drama queen' is on holiday - Rome apparently according to reports.. ;)

 

As for the meeting itself, well done to the Track Staff for getting the track raceable and the meeting on especially considering it has rained non stop since the start..

 

There is no pleasing some miserabilists..

OK fair enough although i'm slightly surprised if that's the case as it's something i tend to recollect from commentaries mentioning it, but i not blessed with the greatest memory. Lol yeah i know it's called 'start' money but Cookie in effect turned up for work to get his wages and did no work - ok that's harsh but technically he stopped work and still collected a pay cheque lol.

 

Very nice ride by Tofty.

Edited to add that Swindon could have taken the win after Heat 10, but unlike Poole some teams play 'the game' sportingly..

Someone posted that this was the worst Sky meeting so far - much better than the meetings from Kings Lynn and Lakeside imo.

Just been backtracking through the comments on here and the updates site and others are not seeing what i see, i've seen lots of passing! and it's nice not to witness a sparse crowd.

 

Out of order calling this off, witnessed many meetings way worse than the conditions here and there has been some hard racing recently without any problems.

Ridiculous conclusion to the match.

 

Surely only the team who are behind can ask for it to be called off...clearly Belle Vue don't want it off, so just carry on without the stupid time wasting debates.

 

The track was clearly raceable....makes the sport a laughing stock
