Recommended Posts

http://www.skysports.com/watch/speedway-on-sky

 

So they have not only changed their original schedule from Belle Vue - Poole they have got Lakeside to change their race schedule.

Swindon have not even got this change on their fixtures yet.

Two new meetings have been added to the fixtures for August, but no details seem to be anywhere yet.

 

And no one of them is NOT a final farewell meeting :D

 

Sept 8th National League Select

Sept 15th Inter-League Challenge

Sept 8th is now Swindon Sprockets - Coventry Storm

Sept 15th PL Select, whatever that is.

Swindon are still due at Lakeside on 16th September....Belle Vue v Poole on box on 12th September confirmed on Sky Speedway Twitter....the website schedule is incorrect

A big change tonight for any interested fans

 

Swindon Sprockets v Coventry Storm - an NL meeting being tried to see if there is any demand for a possible Swindon NL team in addition to EL next year.

Apologies for putting this in the EL section but it would not get noticed elsewhere.

I'm going, after all it is speedway, something that has been lacking at Swindon on a weekly basis over the years, much like the everywhere else really.

It'll be good to see some different riders that i haven't seen ride before.

 

Looking forward to seeing how they cope with the fast Blunsdon track.

Tonight they said next week is the Robins team except Brady Kurtz in for Doyle v a select team consisting of Chris Harris, Sam Masters, Aaron Summers, Kyle Howarth, Kyle Newman, Ryan Douglas and Bradley Wilson Dean.

 

Also enjoyed tonight and the sport needs a few more Danny Ayres.

Makes sense to give Doyley a rest and seeing BWD at the Abbey makes it more of an attraction , should be a close meeting and although i didnt much fancy last nights meeting i would most certainly follow a competitive and fairly youthful Sprockets on a regular basis assuming reduced admission with league points and general development of riders at stake

Anyone who did not bother going last night missed a very good meeting. There was plenty of action between the two sides and heat 6, with D Ayres and L Carr, was a race to watch time and time again, possibly a race to equal any race at Blunsdon all season.

They may have been NL riders and a couple were very young but it was as good as an EL meeting.

If that standard of racing is an example of NL lets have it next year along side EL.

 

Next week we have a PL select that from the line up, mentioned above, should be another very good meeting.

 

If others enjoyed the meeting and racing let the club or Rosco know.

Yes, I would definitely support a Sprockets team if last night was an example of the standard of racing we would get.

 

It was great to see Henry Atkins win a heat after watching him ride before Somerset meetings. He did seem to want to check if the burger bar on bend 2 had opened each lap!

 

Also thought Callum Walker rode better than his points total showed, and was glad he got second in Heat 15 to double his points.

Heat 6 was certainly an excellent advert for NL speedway and if the management think NL speedway was worth it after last night, Ayres might be the first person they contact.

 

Not sure it was a great meeting but I think there was a big gulf between the two teams, which contributed to some spaced out races but no different to some EL matches this season.

 

Bacon impressed and looks to have a future. Hopwood and Ayres excellent for the Sprockets.

 

I hope they run a team and look to develop their own rides. I will be a regular attendee if they run.

I hope we are able to watch from the Backstraight next week. My view last night, was very poor and the staff wouldn't allow anyone to sit on the higher grass bank nearby. Afraid I am unable to stand for that long. However, really enjoyed Ayres,a very entertaining rider in every sense of the word.
