full-throttle Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Surely Batchelor wont be as bad Friday as he was last night. Can't see anything other than a Bees win, I'll go with 51-41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbobee Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Could be one of our toughest meetings of the season this one! Batchelor cannot be as bad as he was the other day surely and he normally goes well at Brandon as does Kildemand. Add two ex Bees in Zengota and Howarth to an in form Nick Morris and we have a good top five against us. Reserves could be pivotal as always ... Bring it on and may the best team win ...

mdmc82 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 IF both teams are at full strength then I think this meeting could go either way. I think Swindon will be the toughest team we face at Brandon as have a team of either ex bees or riders who are good at Brandon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes, bit of a worry this match as Swindon always seem to be our bogey team. Perhaps a bit of rain (but not too much) might be in order to put the whingeing Aussie off again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Robins could well take a point from this, and possibly a win if the reserves can score well. Could be a cracker between two teams that are likely to figure in the play offs imo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is a banana skin meeting. Troy can ride the place well, Kildemand should score reasonable well too. Nick Morris is flying and both the second strings, Howarth and Zengi have been Bees in recent seasons. The only Robins weakness is in reserve, Wright will be riding for Somerset, his brother guested this week at Coventry, Worrall is at Edinburgh, Boxall is injured, Wilkinson will be riding for Scunthorpe, Roynon is at Plymouth, Bowen has retired - leaving the very off form Richie Hawkins from the Tier 1 riders.

Somerset are not racing this Friday so Charles Wright will be riding for Swindon. Here's hoping Garrity's girlfriend doesn't go into labour then as we would be really stuck if all riders already elsewhere on draft. Easy home win as the Cov reserves are to strong .Lewis Rose has always been good at Brandon. Not sure about Charles Wright.

Steve0 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 It's a sad thing to say but this will be won at reserve I think. The bees reserves will counteract any advantage Swindon would have in the top 5 but matches aren't won or lost on paper. Hoping that Swindon take at least a point from this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rains not a good idea Gemini, we'd have a whinging Aussie and SCB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Robins look good on paper at Brandon so could be a cracker. Yet to be convinced by a slow starting Swindon side so far so a decent showing will go some way from moving away from the fodder end of the table. Still think the Bees are way to strong for most teams so a 51 - 41 type score on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Somerset are not racing this Friday so Charles Wright will be riding for Swindon. Well fancy that,the BSPA actually arranging a meeting where there is no clash! Obviously a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 this is a meeting I'd expect to take a point off at least. Yes, Coventry are a strong team, but with Hans wearing a Robin on his sleeve, it could be a productive evening for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Coventry are a strong team, but with Hans wearing a Robin on his sleeve, it could be a productive evening for us. I think some Robins fans are very disrespectful when it comes to Han's. He is a professional rider who is struggling at the moment. Next you will tell us that he has a lion on the other sleeve as scored just as well for Leicester. I guess we should be flattered other teams would prefer our no1 to their own I can see Swindon taking something from this meeting based on the abilities of their own riders (unless it's wet 😄) Edited May 6, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 how are we disrespectful to our title winning captain... he loves it at Blunsdon, he should have stayed and he knows it. Has Hans signed for Leicester in the past... don't recall it somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Hans signed for Leicester in the past... don't recall it somehow. Who is saying we are disrespecting Hans? I can't see any Swindon fans doing that on any threads on here. He loves Swindon and we love him! I'm going to go against most Swindon fans on here and say we will win this meeting! A team of Coventry specialists will suit us and no matter how bad our team is we always win at Coventry at least once a year!

Woz01 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Bees will win but can see Swindon getting a point. Bees reserves will be to strong and looking at the forecast the track will be tricky which will suit Bomber and not Batchelor.
