A ORLOV Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thought Rye might get a small lead to bring to Swindon, but tonight was a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckerroo Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Watt is going to be exactly like adam shields was when he made his eastbourne comeback, namely no good. Â Once they lose the flavour for it forget it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Well that was unexpected & 10 points from r/r certainly helped alongside no Branford. Â A good performance from the rest with even Emil winning 2 races. Â Just a shame it wasn't a league match . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) RR for Ellis means they are much stronger, with Morris, BWD, Bellego and the reserves allowed to take his rides. Puts Swindon as favourites to go through in my opinion, even if we had Branford. I wouldn't be surprised if Swindon sneak a win tomorrow.Don't say I didn't warn you. Can't believe how anyone thought this would be a cakewalk for Rye. They must be idiots. Swindon were always going to take advantage of RR, it was the game changer. The four RR rides brought in 10 points. Add to that track specialists Doyle & Grondal plus Morris who was good value, not to mention BWD and it was a no brainer. Then you add to the mix Robson & Watt having a woeful start to the season and the loss of Branford.... What were you all thinking? Then we come to the track. What's the point of having a team of racers and serving up a track as slick as that? I knew it was gonna be bad when the tractor was packing down the start line area before the meeting. Crowd was down on last week, quite a lot less from where I was standing. Atmosphere was very flat. Last weeks smiles and laughter turned into scowls And grimaces. Last weeks meeting was a false dawn it seems. Wolves are woefully weak at reserve and that made it easy for us. With a Grondal in their side they would've probably won a point at least. Â Pleased to see my suggestions of selling raffle tickets among the crowd and an ice cream van were taken up. They even had a food stall on the third bend. Â Only highlight was Ellis Perks who looked aggrssive and will improve even more. Â Now we're all but out of the KOC, at least we can concentrate on avoiding the relegation play off. Â Lots to ponder for the management and promotion before the feel good factor falls off the edge of a cliff.

phillipsr Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Watt and Robson look massively of the pace so far which is a worry. Weirdly i think we look stronger at Swindon than at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Rye House have a team that rides Swindon well so this tie isn't over yet - unlike Poole's chances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Speedway is a strange old sport. For ages Adam's average has been a bit of a bugbear, the lad gets injured and suddenly it works to our advantage. Â Long term it works against us, however, if we do intend to make any changes, but on tonight's showing who knows, maybe we won't need to. Â Good to see Swindon get an away win with riders like Grondal and BWD putting in good scores. Â Not totally surprised by Rye's poor performance, though. They are a team that look nice when you see the 'names' but have a top end that is past its peak so there may not be improvement in the side. Â Hopefully Swindon can build from this, but Rye have riders that go well at Blunsdon. We could lose the second leg, but I think we have done enough to take the tie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be ok thurs as Zach will get some points, we will just have to watch out for Chris Harris who likes Blunsdon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 The track tonight was down to the Base after the six demonstration races. I'm all for giving the kids a chance, but why not run these after the main event. What little dirt and moisture in the track was well gone by heat one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
