This meeting will decide who meets Poole in the Playoff Final. Swindon will need to all be at the top of their game and, if so, I think they can win on aggregate. However, BV will be up for this and, if it's a wet track, Swindon will have no hope to progress.

 

May the best team win on aggregate and they will have deserved to progress.

Firstly we havn't got there yet. And yes you can still progress, But your heatleaders have got to put in a shift of there lives..

Would have gone but on holiday in the Land of the Knobs...after the Aces big victory at The Abbey last time out can only see a Manc win, Batch, Morra and Zengota are off-form.

Was only Darce's work that enabled Swindon to progress to the play-offs, they're just not good enough to win the title.

Swindon's last match at the famous Abbey.

I dont think this is over by any means, Belle Vue need to make sure they keep the last places to a minimum but if the Robins come out of the blocks all guns blazing a few early heat wins can build up momentum and put the Aces on the backfoot. We need to ensure we keep up our record of scoring 40 points away from home, Swindons heat leaders will no way be as bad as they were at KL and are a different proposition on their own track. I remember the Aces some years back pulling back a 22 point deficit against Exeter in the KO cup, fair enough it was some years ago but they did it within 13 heats and with no T/R rule in place. I hope we can progress but would never count my chickens, hope its a good meeting, if Swindon pull it back they deserve to go through, if we cant defend a 14 point lead we dont simple as that really.

If you cannot defend a 14 point lead, then you certainly do not deserve to go through. But i'l tell you what, if Swindon open up with two 5-1's you will all be biting your nails..

I see that Zagar is hoping to be fit for this one ? I view this with mixed feelings. AJ has done a great job for BV so far, and despite the fact that he is not an Ace he is a professional so may do as good a job as Zagar, if not better. My main worry is Cook. He is so up and down, I have a feeling that he may be the weak link. We are perhaps expecting too much of Steve W. and I hope that he performs for us. Lets hope for a good SAFE meeting for all riders, and may the best team win. (Here's hoping its BV) :wink:

Hmm Cook has not really stepped up in these meetings that really matter, i too fear he could be a weak link, we got away with it at Wolves we wont at Swindon.

Cookie was quick in last 2 rides at Wolves after a ropey start, equally was devastating later on. He praised AJ for helping him with set up on Mon night against the Robins after struggling early.

 

He's quoted as going to Bydgoszcz for engine tuning, hope they work when it matters. Sometimes think he tries to hard at times in the big meets & is over-hard on himself too.

Sadly, Robins are too weak at reserve to pull back the deficit. I don't think Lewis Rose has had one good meeting all season

He had a good meeting guesting for us.

Whilst I agree that Worrall on paper is the strongest reserve esp around the Abbey, It wasn't your reserves that let you down on Monday, it was your heat leaders.

Kildemand is a SGP rider who is capable of scoring well in the series so he should be scoring easily as a 2nd string. However he is being beaten by reserves and throwing points away for you by easily going down.

Swindon are going to need Rosco & Batchelor to start motivating if they are to stand a chance. Both often look very deflated.

A strange comment this. Last year, riding for the Stars, he was one of the top 2nd group FTR in the league, A good gater, solid team man, and a rider who was learning fast from those around him. He was a rider we desperately wanted to keep. Such are these supplementary rules, aimed at club fairness, Lewis's progress was disrupted and forced to ride elsewhere. Surely, in this day of age, Riders should have say as to where they want to ride and not be subject to this dictatory approach.

 

The move to Swindon hasn't done Rose any favours. Hopefully we can have him back next year, whence he can recapture his obvious talent .
