Wolverhampton V Swindon 10-8-15


Recommended Posts

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.

Have to win the 3 matches in hand though.

Is Belle Vue's for & against maybe better and that's why they are 3rd, not sure.

Belle Vue have a points difference of 48.

 

Swindon have a points difference of 19.

 

Both had 11 home meetings now.

 

King's Lynn have had 10 home meetings.

 

Could be any two of these 3 at the moment.

Some hard racing, entertaining racing and close finishes and that is more important than any result.

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Great racing and no complaints about Swindon winning fair and square but Entertainment was the real winner.

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: :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.

Robins will finish above Belle Vue easily and so will Kings Lynn

 

Coventry 22 (10-12) 52 ...... 12 pts at home = 64

Poole 23 (11-12) 50 ............ 9 pts at home = 59

Belle Vue 23 (11-12) 40 ....... 9 pts at home = 49

Swindon 20 (11-9) 40 .......... 9 pts at home = 49

Kings Lynn 21 (10-11) 39 .... 12 pts at home = 52

 

BELLE VUE

HOME = Swindon, Leicester, Wolverhampton

AWAY = Poole, Wolverhampton

 

SWINDON

HOME = Coventry, Kings Lynn, Leicester

AWAY = Belle Vue, Coventry x2, Kings Lynn

 

KINGS LYNN

HOME = Leicester x2, Coventry, Swindon

AWAY = Leicester, Swindon, Poole

 

 

Can see Swindon winning at Belle Vue leaving Robins and Stars clear run to the play offs and Belle Vue possibly only getting a point at Monmore Green.

 

 

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

Not true. They couldn't have 3 riders over 7pts. Without Batchelors engine failures his average would have been too high.

Yes they did, Batchelor was one of 3 riders above 7.

Aces to finish for me.

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.

 

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.

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

 

 

Lindgren is the only 7+ rider at Wolves even though he has a 6.48 average and PK has 7.02

It doesn't work like that. You are only allowed two 7pt riders at anytime throughout the year regardless of what they started on.

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? :lol:

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.)

Good to see not so fast Freddie dropping his average for next season

Ditto Andersen, ditto Zagar, ditto holder, ditto bjerre et Al.

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.

The view through them looks a lot better than those Green Ones you wear - envy really is not a good look for you.
