Belle Vue - Swindon 14. 9. 16


A ORLOV

Recommended Posts

Watch out for extra traffic tonight. There was a very heavy and prolonged storm last night which meant the football down the road was postponed (no covers?) and it has been rearranged for tonight. Give yourself an extra 20mins at least.

 

It'll be interesting to see how the track is. It should be okay as it is going to be another warm day but a lot of water will have been dumped on it last night.

 

To give you an idea here's a YouTube I've just seen from another nearby football match that was called off last night.

There won't be many at Belle Vue tonight then, they will all be watching Aguero in the champions league cup!

16-20 defeat for us tonight. Was tempted to travel up when the original fixture was rained off but was rearranged for same night as Spurs 1st CL game so it's Wembley tonight instead of Manchester for me! If somehow we could get a point in next 2 meetings then I will come up for the play offs. Love the look of the place and might even pre order my tickets to save time!

I'm hoping for a 6 point defeat as the worse case scenario because I can't see us picking up anything at Lakeside.

Yeah nothing tonight means no play offs. I wasn't bothered about making them before but with the news of the new stadium I wouldn't mind one more match there. With the dogs on a Wednesday night I assume our 1st leg would be away based on the dates given by sky on Monday

As there is no comment on anything official about the track, I think I will give this a miss. I assume that nothing will have been done during the day and that when the riders turn up some sort of track preparation may or may not take place. BV and Speedway are meant to be professional, if that is the case and with their "previous" why not keep the public informed?

Its a bit of a weird one tonight. I hope Swindon get the point as they have generally been better performers over the season than the Hammers imo.

 

Incidentally, when was the last time the Aussie Team manager had a team of 5 Brits, ! Slovenian and 1 Aussie versus the Team GB manager with a team of 5 Aussies and 2 Brits??

 

Knowing both Lemo and Rosco (sponsored both as riders) I hope its a good meeting for both of them. I have to go for Rosco though as he's closer!!!! ;-)

Despite last night's incredible storm I see no reason why this won't be on. Great drainage in the track, by the time the meeting starts it won't have rained for over 20 hours, plus it's been hot and sunny all day today.

Thanks mate. I have no reason to doubt you however, one would think a bit more communication between the "business" and its customers would not go amiss.

I made the same point several months ago

I don't think any track give weather updates when its been hot, dry, and sunny, everywhere was bone dry when I got up at 5am after the storm.

Something like 'everything ready to go tonight after yesterdays thunderstorms..' On twitter or official website. Not exactly hard and only take two mins.

Fair point if it were not for the fact it's been a roaster today up here, anyone wanting to know more can ring the club, only takes 2 mins..
