Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

Can't be Grondal. Swindon team is better than Coventrys. Can only assume the person claimed his has got the wrong Emil :D

Well the individual who posted it is following a pattern of someone previously who used to get information from Peterborough

Mikel Andersson? Is that the Redcar kiddie?

So both Grondel & Andersson could fit? Personally I'd prefer Patrick Hansen

 

 

Yep. He is the top young done out there. Would be a perfect reserve for anyone next year on a 4

No worries if it is. He beat Brady Kurtz, Newman, Sarjeant, Bates, Kerr, Clegg, Starke, Wilson-Dean & Howarth this season & he had a few 8 point returns for Peterborough so he can do it when he's up for it & we won't have wasted a packet on reserves like Coventry! Our top five will be licking their lips!

Did, Shov was a fanatical Robins fan. He went home and away across the country to support Swindon. He travelled on the coach with us and with another guy in a robin reliant!! He was a great laugh and very vocal at away tracks. ;)

 

Colin Beeney was his name. Had a real beaten up three wheeler Reliant and an old cassette machine where he played the Wurzels full blast, along with old tapes of Swindon meetings, which was before video. Used to go along with another guy who was the raker on the first bend called Dave Stoddart or Stoddard. People should remember him. Long brown hair, tall with glasses. Raked the first and second bend for years.

 

Remember a trip to Ipswich where Swindon got beat 55-23 (Ashby 11 from 5)and on the way back Colin was getting tired, so stopped the reliant in the 3rd lane of the m4 and started doing press ups. Motorways much quieter in those days. Then decided to empty what was left in a couple of airhorns. 20 mins later we got pulled by the old bill asking if it was us making a din and waking up half of Slough.

 

Funny old days..

 

As for deserting Swindon for Poole it was not as straight as it looked. I left Swindon in 77 to live in Bournemouth, and didn't go to speedway from then until 86, with If I recall one meeting, England v USA at Poole in 83.

 

Started going regularly again in 86 at Poole in the National league, at first as a neutral. Swindon were top flight so it wasn't like I had ditched Swindon for Poole. Didn't go to any away meetings until 90. Then of course Poole moved back up but by then I had been going to Poole longer than Swindon. As I was never going to return to Swindon to live the decision was made. Must say I will always have a soft spot for Swindon but only lived in the town for 9 years where I have lived in Dorset for 39 years.

 

However, for my sins, I am a STFC supporter.

Thought all new foreigners come in on a 4

Surely to God not? So we're using PL averages, unless you're a new foreign rider who is a 4? The BSPA are no that stupid are they? If so why have clubs not be filling up with 4 point foreignors?!

Grondal averages over 9 at Rye House scoring 15+1 and 12+ 2 on his two visits there. We will be there 3 times at least this year. Also had heat wins at Berwick Somerset Scunthorpe Workington Sheffield ( another track he seems to like). Probably not going to like Monmore.
