foreverblue Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Classic trolling post I guess you should know one when you see one!Batch and Ward praising the Wolves track preparation on Twitter: Good track = Good racing!To be fair it usually is.Regarding Darcy i have always thought there is no one better in league racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Swindon are 4th in the table, Belle Vue also won tonight and are 3rd That is daft, with three matches in hand we should be third, anyway we will be by thurs. It was said that because we had more away meetings we would not stay in the top 4, now look what has happened with 3 big away wins. Big decider will be 17th.

Is Belle Vue's for & against maybe better and that's why they are 3rd, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue have a points difference of 48. Â Swindon have a points difference of 19. Â Both had 11 home meetings now. Â King's Lynn have had 10 home meetings. Â Could be any two of these 3 at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialOne Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 We all know SteveBrum is bitter and hates the Robins which makes this result such a sweet one. Play offs or not it was worth it to see his excuses and accusations which based on no fact but his just own biased opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Some hard racing, entertaining racing and close finishes and that is more important than any result. Â Swindon as expected came and won convincingly with a powerful top four that took 9 heat wins between them and that was very nearly more had Thorssell not have snatched victory over Zengota in heat 9 and Tobiasz showing great skills to win heat 8 over an impressive Robert Branford who led for a good deal of the race and swapped places a few times. Â Â Ward shut off before the line in heat one just as Tai did in the British Final when he equalled the track record but Darcy took 0.19 off the time and although he had to get a few points from the back, he never really looked like being beaten and allowed Batchelor past twice to take the win, possibly to get 13 instead of 15 on his average for next season. Â Â PK like Freddie had one good race which was a brilliant battle with Bomber but Ricky struggled and although Lewis top scored, he still didn't look at his best last night while Tobiasz came back from a fall to look very good in his last two races and had a great battle with Zengi in heat 14 nearly getting the better of his Leszno team mate. Â Â Great racing and no complaints about Swindon winning fair and square but Entertainment was the real winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Swindon are 4th in the table, Belle Vue also won tonight and are 3rd  Belle Vue are likely to finish higher than the Robins anyway, so expected.  We all know SteveBrum is bitter and hates the Robins which makes this result such a sweet one. Play offs or not it was worth it to see his excuses and accusations which based on no fact but his just own biased opinion.  Bitter that my team is dire? Yea of course. :rofl: Facts are Batchelor dropped below 7 due to dodgy engine failures to fit Ward in. Shame you can't see thru those red tints. Go Aces.

Grachan Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) PS; Batchelor didn't need the engine failures to get WARD in as the last signing which was Krcmar could have easily been a rider with a lower average as they are there to get a point or two at most The issue was that Ward would have given Swindon 3 riders with an average over 7. Bachelor's score meant his average ended up just below 7. Â Whether or not it was tactics or genuine engine failures is the issue, but I fail to see why people get so hung up on this issue. It's common sense to use the averages to your advantage if you can. Edited August 11, 2015 by grachan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Morris didn't start the season as a 7+ rider so the only riders that are 7+ in team building are Batchelor and Ward regardless of what they are averaging in 2015 Â Â Lindgren is the only 7+ rider at Wolves even though he has a 6.48 average and PK has 7.02 Edited August 11, 2015 by T.N.T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Â Â ........stevebrum.......Belle Vue are likely to finish higher than the Robins anyway, so expected. Â I wouldn't like to bet on that as Swindon still have two matches at Coventry and I'm feeling a bit pessimistic about the result of these. Hopefully I will be proved wrong and we have nothing to worry about. Darcy Ward? Who's he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are only allowed two 7pt riders at anytime throughout the year regardless of what they started on. You know what. TNT is correct.  From the regulations:  17.4.1 A Team’s initial Declaration must include 5 Riders whose combined MA does not exceed 34.00 points. This Declaration may include a maximum of 2 x Riders, whose MA exceeds 7.00...  From: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/initial  initial  adjective 1. of, relating to, or occurring at the beginning; first: the initial step in a process.     (Whoops. Should have read 17.4.2!!!!  A Teams combined MA for the top 5 positions must not exceed 34.00 points nor include more than 2 x Riders, whose MA exceeds 7.00 or 2 Doubling-Up Riders (satisfying the same conditions as for the initial Team Declaration) when re-declared, either permanently or temporarily, except where the MA of the introduced Rider is equal to, or lower than the Rider being replaced. Only Riders with a lower EDR Grading may be re-declared for the #6 or #7 positions.) Edited August 11, 2015 by grachan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they can all blame form and not dodgy engines. These are having poor seasons, Batchelor - whilst average at the best of times - deliberately dropped his. those red tints still firmly in place I see.
