Swindon V Lakeside Thur 9th April


Recommended Posts

Alas can't get a lift to be at Blunsdon tonight so will be glued to live updates! Hope it's a good meeting (sure it will be!) with no injuries.

Every time Swindon ride against Lakeside I look at the line-ups and think we'll win. Then we lose.

 

Anyway, looking at the line-ups, I think we'll win.

Full team line ups are

 

Swindon

Andersen, Howarth, Morris, Zengi, Nicholls, Blackbird, Perry

 

Top 5 have all been bees riders in last couple of years

Sort of infers you might be mentioning Lakeside as well.

looking forward to tonight, not only to see some action but I won't freeze me nuts off... :D

Remembering what it's like at Swindon on a lovely sunny evening I'd like to offer you a bit of advice - wrap them up warm otherwise they will drop off. Ignore this warning at your peril.

14 riders (including 5 'guests') - only in speedway (and before anyone has a pop), yes it is unfortunate circumstances at play.

A big thank you to the guests especially Hans who should've never left the Robins & Lewis but what a howler from Rosco leaving Perry in heat 9.

 

Poole always give Newman 5 rides & whilst there should be a rule that both reserves have 4 rides you have to be ruthless in sport if the rules allow it.

 

A win was massive though tonight.

I only went to this as was on holiday and it certainly didn't entertain me. Hans was good and EK was a different rider to the one we saw on TV last week but outside of those two, the riders were very inconsistent. Prior to the meeting, I'm sure they were playing 70's music (or very early 80's) and there was little or no atmosphere throughout the night. I have certainly lost my love of the sport and the tired presentation did nothing to rekindle my passion for the sport. Processional racing heat in heat out didn't help either!

Hans was tremendous - the number one Swindon don't have.

 

Well done to the ref for cracking on, and I got home before 10 - more like this please.

 

And Rosco is still hopeless tactically - Blackbird should have gone in Heat 9 and had five rides. Probably cost Swindon the third point, a real howler.

Good Crowd but a dull meeting ...Hans done well but I am still in shock that Perry took 4 rides ...can only think Rosco got caught out by the new race format and the need to change the weaker fast tracker in his second or 3rd ride

A real bad mistake though & he should know the new format surely.

The rule has changed this year so Swindon still get all 3 points for winning at home :) Really pleased that we managed to grab a point though ... hopefully we'll get some more soon. Good to see Bech getting some points this evening!
