A ORLOV Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Still not on bspa team declarations, so may be special allowance in the best interest of speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 If Leicester's usual practices are anything to go by, nobody will find out until about 7:40 when the teams are read out on the parade and the money is safely in the bank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Will have to rush home from the pub having watched SEC to catch up with this meeting now we have a chance of winning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Still not on bspa team declarations, so may be special allowance in the best interest of speedway He was very poor at Leicester last time for Poole so don't expect too much but you never know he could click and get a hatful.

justathought Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 SWINDON have confirmed Darcy Ward will make his debut in their Elite League match at Leicester on Saturday.Ward’s suspension from all speedway for failing an alcohol test at last year’s Latvian Grand Prix expired at the end of June, and he quickly agreed a deal to join the Robins in place of former No.1 Adrian Miedzinski.Swindon boss Alun Rossiter said: “We haven't really had an out-and-out No.1 all season and hopefully bringing Darcy in will change that because everybody knows what he can do on a bike. “I'm sure he'll do well and he'll be an important rider for us over the next few months but don't expect him to go out and bang in fifteen points on Saturday. People have got to be realistic; he's done laps and he looks very quick but he's been out for a long time and it will take him a few meetings to get back up to speed.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game On Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's like Swindon you have to get out the starts first. I'm sure that's the objective at all tracks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunRobin Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Well at some tracks it's more important than others and Swindon is one of them.......der!!!!!!!!! Have you ever been to the Abbey, plenty of racing lines & passes as long as your bike is quick enough. Ask Poole, they were passing us race after race early in the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a period when the track was made too slick and the racing was average, but now usually there are more racing lines and it allows plenty of passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 This should be a pretty good meeting me thinks. Wilkinson rode very well for us last time lets hope for a repeat performance from him. Will be interesting to see how Ward goes after a bit of time off. Think a Lions win..............................But, I could be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Isn't the Leicester track more conducive to racing now?....Or not! Definitely better last time I went - I couldn't believe my eyes. That plus Ward's presence will probably persuade me that this will be a better option than Workington v Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) What a shame, you must have missed the best meetings then I remember a few years bck, the Swindon track was really bad with everyone following each other round close to the air fence. It's definitely been improved since then. I remember they announced Ronnie Russell was doing something to give it more race lines and it seemed to work quite well.

Ward may find it more to his liking than last year, providing he's not too jet-lagged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
