crazysue Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Couldn't see the updated thread for this meeting.... Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message which includes your mobile number. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Following a not very good performance last night, although a couple of the riders were rusty and the track was crap, the robins need to show tonight what they can do. If they continue to be slow out of the gate Wolves may win, but I am hoping we get a win but would not be surprised if Wolves got within 6 points. If they are slow out of the gate at least the riders can overtake on our track, something that was very difficult to do last night on that micky mouse one.

rainman Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 What's the chances of rain down there guys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Looking at the line ups of both teams, a narrow away win for Wolves would be my prediction. However as last night showed, speedway is very unpredictable. Howarth could be a key rider if he has a good night at his old track. Prediction 44-46 Edited April 14, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 What's the chances of rain down there guys ? Slim and if any looks like the odd light shower, just like the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Seems like Orlovski is about the only Roobins fan on the forum, so unless The Roobins can start gating could be a Wolves win, weather permitting. My visit this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Could go either way this one & the lads should know know what's expected of them. A Robins win)hopefully) but Wolves should get a point at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Just seen the line up and Charles Wright is riding despite dislocating his shoulder last night, putting it back and riding. Good on him and it is a good job this is not football other wise he would have needed 6 months off. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2657 Edited April 14, 2016 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just seen the line up and Charles Wright is riding despite dislocating his shoulder last night, putting it back and riding. Good on him and it is a good job this is not football other wise he would have needed 6 months off. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2657 If he was getting paid I guess he would of just like anyone in any job hardly makes him a hero ..most speedway riders these days would not even go on a track after drop of rain ...it quite odd that for some reason people compare speedway riders to football players .

Reviresco Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Good to see Rohan Tungate get a couple of wins last night to boost his confidence, before the 'Auty effect' seemed to kick in and he had his crash. At least it sounds as if machinery rather than man suffered the consequences. He may have got Heat 15 too if it hadn't of been for the equipment damage. The Leicester track may suit his riding style well, so it will be interesting to see how he goes at Blunsdon tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Can see tonight being a close encounter but one in which the Robins need and should be coming away with 3 points in the bag...but can see Wolves sneaking a point. Better from Rohan last night, Sedgie showed some fight at the end....so if Josh & Nick can continue their Abbey showings from a couple of weeks ago then should be all good. 48-42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Wolves to win and take 4 points home with them. Swindon only have 1 EL rider, the rest are PL or NL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Time for the Robins to bounce back after being made a laughing stock on TV last night so will be very dangerous. A narrow Wolves win tho 43-47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Swindon win all the way and no EL points for Wolves! Wolves to win and take 4 points home with them. Swindon only have 1 EL rider, the rest are PL or NL Well 2 of the PL/NL riders rode for BV last year in the EL Edited April 14, 2016 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Swindon win all the way and no EL points for Wolves! One of us should be happier tonight! Good luck to both teams, less for the Robins naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Weather update We have had no rain this morning and the threat of rain this afternoon and this evening has disappeared from the forecast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Wolves to win and take 4 points home with them. Swindon only have 1 EL rider, the rest are PL or NL Bit harsh to consider Morris PL only? averages over 7 in the EL and similar could be said about Josh apart from last nights bike issues he scored 21 in first two meetings for Swindon this season...hardly merely PL 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Contrary to popular belief some of us on here do actually go!...not shedloads mind Need to get some of the huge crowd that were at The Farewell to go, there is a lot of interest in the town for the sport(most read topic on Adver website at times!), its just getting them up to The Hill on a chilly Thursday night that's the problem, unless Poole are in town or its a Grand Final. A few still refuse to attend until the new Rosco Arena is up and running. It does make you wonder about the future of the sport with a massive catchment area of probably 3 million that they can only attract just over 1000 peeps. Orlovski should takeover as the new PR man. GO ROOBINS!!! Edited April 14, 2016 by Downsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
