mdmc82 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Now they are riding for a decent club Aw glad you regard Coventry and Belle Vue so highly. 😜Think both plus Swindon look good this year.

Bryn Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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.

TitusTokio Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 They have a good live updates thing on Total Sport from Swindon with lots of pictures from Les Aubrey during the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 looking forward to tonight, not only to see some action but I won't freeze me nuts off... 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) 14 riders (including 5 'guests') - only in speedway (and before anyone has a pop), yes it is unfortunate circumstances at play. Edited April 9, 2015 by TonyE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 14 riders (including 5 'guests') - only in speedway (and before anyone has a pop), yes it is unfortunate circumstances at play. Exactly! It's a farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 4 Guests in swindons side, 1 in kuckside. as tony E says . it is what it is.. labour government catchphrase. its more like an open meeting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 9 heats gone and it's hard to split the 2 teams. Much better so far from Kennett. Still think Swindon will win this over the next couple of heats but Lakeside not making it easy for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 cant believe Rosco didn't put Blackbird in heat 9. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Very surprised that this meeting went to a last heat decider. First away point of the season for Lakeside. Well done to both teams Hans Andersen on the gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) 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.

Steve0 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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!

remembertheracers Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited April 9, 2015 by orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cost Swindon the third point, a real howler. 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
