DunRobin Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Totally agree grachan ! I was there and glad I went, nice warm evening, good atmosphere and all the Robins giving 100%. If they ride like that on Monday then look out Coventry. Not sure Batch gave 100% in every race. When he got out of the gate he was racing but in 2 heats when left in 3rd, he seemed unwilling to take any risk to get past an opponent & he did say himself, when interviewed at the end of the meeting "I seemed to be going through the motions at times tonight". Unlike PK who made superb moves in heat 10, to pass both opponents to get 2nd place! We need all the points we can get at present, in case it ends up with points difference at the cut off point.

bigcatdiary Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Speedway is truly done for when a team turns up with 5 guests and rider replacement for someone they just sacked. I feel sorry for any Wolves fans who turned up to support their team and discovered it was their fast track rider. I thought speedway was bonkers when I followed my team but this is simply insane Been a good week for farce what with the sky match Monday and this match last night. I also think its insane, just amazing that everyone thinks every year the EL cannot get any worse and yet it does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play off rehearsal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play off rehearsal? Monday scares me. I think we will struggle even to win, never mind gettting the 3 points we could really do with. Your mission, Agent Andersen, should you choose to accept.....

Leicester Lion Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 There are too many teams, but that doesn't mean there are too many tracks. One way forward would be to limit the number of teams. Those tracks without a team could still hold speedway meetings, but would be restricted to individual events or one-off challenge matches or 4TTs with scratch sides etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ha ha...Don't think so somehow Grachan. Will you be writing a book, the year that ended in 4? Don't think so. Writing about getting turned over by Coventry in one year is more than enough thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 That is a bang out of form and missing star rider KL team. we were also racing with 1 reserve and minus a heat leader. Also turned over Lakeside and Belle vue easily away as well as Swindon at the start of the season as well. Coventry only need max of 7 more points to make play offs (unless Swindon/Eastbourne drop points then its less) so no pressure on them. However with Eastbourne able to Use Garrity & Newman for some of their away fixtures plus what looks like a home win sat, The pressure is really on Swindon. Should be a good meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeH Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 the 15 year old singer/guitarist was excellent and was well received I thought given the normal apathy towards this type of thing. The sound system was excellent. Well done to her and whoever booked her. She was excellent- Did anyone get her name? She a great folkie version of Teenage dirtbag!

Also turned over Lakeside and Belle vue easily away as well as Swindon at the start of the season as well. I am aware of that - the difference is one team is on the crest of a wave form wise whilst the other is sinking nearer to the bottom form wise. That also has a lot to do with it.

Chalkie Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm wonder who the ref will be, Mr Robinson? Ha ha Apparently he was due to officiate but after representations from Rosco & Swindon it's Mick Posselwhite! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) So the racing and entertainment is irrelevant to you, just the names involved? The Wolves V Leicester meeting was more entertaining than pretty much any other meeting this season, but its not worth £17 you are saying? So you'd prefer to pay £17 and be less entertained. I understand. There was a good football match on over the park this afternoon but no one was expected to pay 20 quid because the players were unknown amateurs.Before pontificating over what is value for money remind us again where you you watched the Wolves / Leiecster match, Edited September 6, 2014 by New Science 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Did a walkabout at 7:15pm. I counted 719 people, counted 8 Wolves fans and no Wolves riders! Most fans arrive after 7.15 at The Abbey...so by the time you finished counting would have been at least 5000 there. Feel sorry for those 8 Wolves fans...having to return to the Black Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
