Belle Vue -v- Swindon Monday 17th August


Recommended Posts

So is this still a massive match after last night Lynn away win.

 

For me it's kind of took the excitement away from this fixture. Really this should have been on sky.

 

Morris should be back. He rides kirk lane well usually and had a good meeting in Denmark on Friday so seems to be no side affects of his injury.

 

Will krcmar ride or will he pick up an illness or injury and get a guest in???

It's not over till it's over, it's a huge task but not mathematically impossible yet. however if Belle Vue lose this then that would be them out of the race as not enough meetings left.

 

Sky have a strange way of deciding what to show. Swindon were thrashed at Poole only a couple of weeks ago so will need to really up their game to make a meeting of it Wed, yet this meeting is of huge importance to the play offs and impossible to predict and yet it's not on TV.

MIGHT have something to do with Monday night football on Sky ... preferring a Wednesday fixture for speedway

Hard one to call but Swindon really do need to reverse the crucial home defeat administered last time out at Blunsdon. They are capable of doing so but will depend if they are fired up for it. I would have thought that this was a "must broadcast" meeting for Sky - but apparently not!

I support Liverpool who are playing tomorrow night but would have still watched this meeting instead of it had been on.

Let's just hope Swindon put up a better show than their last visit to Poole

Philip, please stop giving sensible opinions.........this is a speedway forum after all!!!!!!!!!! :D:t:

Should be a good meeting with Ward now 'dialled in' rather than when he visited Poole last - to ride!!

 

Although Liverpool v the Premier new boys would still be a good choice.

You can't be that much of a Liverpool fan if you would rather watch a speedway match that doesn't involve your own team.

Any speedway is better than twenty people running around after a bag of air.

An even more important meeting for a top four place since KL won on Sat.

A difficult match to predict as some riders are inconsistent in their scoring.

Swindon should get at least 1 point from this, hopefully more.

I would like to see Belle Vue win but unfortunately I think it will be Swindon going home with the points.

 

Craig Cook has been in brilliant form in the PL this week, Belle Vue are going to need him riding like that tomorrow.

Tricky one to call.

 

Looking at the first meeting, when Swindon lost thanks to some comedy riding in heat 15, it is going to be close again.

 

Ward and the wobbly foreigner Swindon fans love in their team should match the 14 kildemand and howarth scored last time. Morris scored 11 from 4 on his best away track so another double figure score is on the cards now he's better. The reserves are tricky to call, Wright has done a few laps around KL and did well last time so our lads will need to be on top form to cancel that advantage out.

 

That leaves Zengota, he didn't manage to beat anybody last time, but with ward apparently helping him another big match winning score is on the cards. There would be a certain irony if the rider who apparently didn't appear to be trying for us when guesting, and cost us at least a point, tries extra extra hard against us and costs us more points.

 

Having said all that, since that 'chuckle brothers' moment in the first meeting we have been steadily improving our consistency at home and will be hard to beat. If ward does inspire Zengota to a match winning score I fully expect them to go on and win the pokc which will give them a brilliant start in their new stadium next season.

A really important meeting for the play offs this one in what would be a mediocre mid table meeting otherwise

Can only see a home win as Belle Vue in a match that means something thanks to play offs ..in the old days teams would have been dropping averages and testing engines in a pointless match .
