I do not agree with it but the pit gate can be opened which allows mechanics to come out to make a minor adjustment to the bike, I would rather they went straight back to the start and got on with the race.

Places like Wolverhampton ? so it's ok to do it at other tracks ? . fair enough it maybe the rules but it's a stupid one.. as I said if your on 2 mins who cares where you go .

He just meant that Wolves don't have a pit gate to be kept closed.

 

Whatever you think of the rule, its there and says if you go back to the pits you're excluded.

Shame Hans fell when in a 5-1 in the last lap as would have only been a 4 point loss with a patched up team.

I believe Howarth would have easily scored than 3 points from 5 rides. Only 4 from Fricke rides as well.

 

Brilliant double figures for our own 2 riders of our top 5. Sounds like Hans had a great night.

 

Lots of positives to take from tonight. Just need to bring in a good replacement for Joonas now.

The team spirit and believe looks better again.

 

Good to see the teams coming together in the photo for Darcy Ward.

Says on updates that Wright went into the pits suffering bike problems so was then excluded for failing 2 mins?

It also says Morris looked to have touched the tapes in heat 3 but didn't get excluded.

It says it on updates - Well it must be true then :rolleyes:

A good meeting with a close score up to heat 10 then Swindon started pulling away.

Nick only scored 3 and would normally score above that which would have given Swindon a larger gap.

We are now 2nd in the league table but have two away meetings where Coventry, on the same points, have two home meetings so unless we beat Poole and Kings Lynn away we are likely to end up in 3rd place.

Killer looked like he had never been away and other teams in the play offs must be a bit wary of Swindon and Coventry who have strong second string riders. We just need to get all our heat leaders scoring well at the same time.

Lewis returned and was very good with a win in heat 5.

 

It was a shame that Hans came off in heat 15 as both he and Chris Harris showed what they could do on our track and why in the past we have used those two as guests.

 

The one annoying thing was the number of restarts, and another time warning is needed. When they bought in the rule about not leaving the track they should have also included a 1 min restart for an unsatisfactory start and riders should go straight back to the tapes.

 

Any way roll on Monday for our meeting at Poole.

Another very enjoyable meeting served up by both sides for the Robins faithful.

 

Kildemand looked a beast tonight, his pass on turn 4 around the 2 bees on turn 4 was very special and he looked very quick. Also a much improved performance from Batchelor and a mention to Lewis Rose who looked much improved following a decent show away at Coventry also. everyone chipped in but Morris did look a below par, bikes don't seem to be firing at the moment.

 

Strong performance from a number of bees too made it an exciting evening. Shame Hans fell in Heat 15 as he put in a terrific performance and the bees probably deserved a point and we all know he loves the Swindon fans.

 

Some brilliant races last night and roll on the play offss.

 

I hear the pictures for Darcy may have raised over £500 also so another good contribution from the fans following the £3.5k for the Benevolent fund last week.

 

Long Live Rosco

 

Mon the Robins
