SUPERACE Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think this is going to be closer than people think I can see it going right down to heat 14 or 15 at Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Surely everyone thinks these teams are very evenly matched? Hoping that the aces reserves will prove the difference, aces by two in aggregate I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I actually think we have the closest 4 teams the play-offs have ever had. One bit of bad luck for any team could be all it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Swindon have the weakest reserves out of the 4 for surre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Swindon have the weakest reserves out of the 4 for surre. I have to agree. Coventry & Poole are quite evenly matched at reserve. Belle Vue have an advantage in Worrall at Swindon and he has been in good form, However for me one of the most improved riders in the draft has been Stefan. Over the last month he has been very impressive esp at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last month he has been very impressive esp at home. Agreed... A few weeks ago the fans raised over a grand for him to replace kit he lost in his van crash.... Allied to Mark Lemon spending time with him he has made large improvements recently. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 This is the play off and it is all to play for!!! Both Swindon and Belle Vue are capable of getting to the final and win it . Just like the old Ko Cup , it all depends on the performances on the day It would be great to see Belle Vue reach and hopefully win the play off..... Just in time to say a fond farewell to The Greyhound stadium !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 It will be heart breaking for any Swindon fan coming up for this match, to look across at the impressive new Belle Vue stadium going up in the way it is. I do hope Swindon will have a finished stadium for next year. As for the result, my guess is an eight point win for the Aces, at home and a six point defeat away.

They will...The Rosco Arena is taking 5 months to build starting early winter. Will go 48-42 to the Mancs, then 50-42 to The Robins at The Abbey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 51-41, Rosco needs to get Troy and Nick going, both been pretty poor recently. Would have to try to hold BV to about a 6 point lead, anything bigger will be difficult to claw back unless as you say both Nick and Troy do better than they have recently.

hyderd Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Belle Vue have the momentum that Swindon had before Darcy's tragic accident, on recent results I can only see an Aces win over the 2 legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Sarge Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I really think this could go either way. If the Robins top 5 all fire to a decent % of their ability I don't think the Aces can live with them, but, that does not look highly likely, very few points in it on aggregate I reckon, weather could play a big part, wet track = useless Troy 😓💦😓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) 51-41, Rosco needs to get Troy and Nick going, both been pretty poor recently. Don't think double point TRs are now allowed in Play-Offs. That'll be 51 - 39 then. Edited September 10, 2015 by cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Belle Vue have the momentum that Swindon had before Darcy's tragic accident, on recent results I can only see an Aces win over the 2 legs. I think this is true. In fact, I think that not only could Belle vue win this tie but they could even win the title. I remember going to Coventry v Swindon, and coming away on such a high. I actually thought to myself that Swindon were going to win the title - and I never think that! To have the rug so cruelly taken out from under our feet just after was a real blow. Life always comes and trips you up when you least expect it! In the circumstances, I think we brought in the best replacement we could. But Peter riding as a second string throws the side out of balance, and Darcy's injury seems to have affected the form of the side - and Nick Morris in particular. We have two sides here looking to win and see out the time at their stadium in a big way. As you say, the momentum seems to be with Belle Vue, but if Swindon can all click then there's no reason why we can't still do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 With 80% of rain forecast for both Belle Vue & Coventry on Monday, does anybody know when the restaging date would be if rained off? The weather for Monday is not such a wash-out as it was 24 hours ago.... Trying to forecast T100 is a very loose prediction, to get a reasonably accurate forecast, T24/T36 is much more accurate.... (T) hours to forecast time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
