Steve0 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Comfortable win but suspect some of those later heats had a bit of clue something is afoot changewise Tungate said he was hoping to announce his new UK team soon - probably tomorrow replacing Dany. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Tonight shows that if we can get Adam at reserve which is surely the plan for him to be in Heat 15 & get Rohan in for Dany then it will improve us. Â Adam or Bradley then fight it out for a top 5 place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Zzz how boring was that speedway is in a bad place with this sort of league ..gp riders and then juniors etc ..its just a bad product . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Swindling Swindon, 3 quid for a programme insert! Average meeting, below average crowd. Swindon were thrashing them, Doyley untouchable, Kennett pants apart from heat win over Morra, excellent pass. Zach did well. Best ever from BWD, Adam improving, Bellego still not at his best. Will be surprised if Rye finish in top 4. Only 2 home wins both against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight was a ok meeting Batchelor decent Kennett one amazing ride to get Morra from the back and Nicholls, Robson, young Perks busted a gut to be competetive was it that boring not for me it wasn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not a great meeting. Rye House were very poor. Â I got the impression from about half way through that Swindon were trying not to win by too much to keep the averages manageable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not the best of meetings but I've seen worse a bit similiar to Rye House last night, Doyle head and shoulders above everyone, enjoyed it but the smallest crowd I've seen at Swindon. Why's it always cold there and always windy. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Was at Swindon in 2011 on the Thursday before the Cardiff GP for an EL meeting with Poole. One pass in 15 heats. Tonight couldn't have been worse than that surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Just a normal night at the Abbey for me. A couple of decent races, the rest a one line procession. As you say, The same as at rye the night before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you noticed but Morris was slowing down so Kennett could pass ..as others have already said swindon looked like they not trying to to hard for what ever reason in some races .surely you dont think Kennett who was miles benind in each heat was going to beat morris from the back in the real race ..have a look what happened in heat 13 after Kennett was miles behind again..

Rayleigh Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I have to say I was generally disappointed with the Rockets tonight, after losing a close one the night before I expected a "fired up " team, well 26 - 10, it wasn't the response I was expecting.and despite the scoreline being only 8 points we never really looked like getting a point. Â I am struggling with Kennetts away form (3.29 before tonight and he didn't even match that) and actually a stunning ride in Heat 11 actually made the other 3 last places seem worse. Â Many thanks Batchelor for a great "guest" performance but a special mention should be also be given to Perks who but for a fall in the lead of Heat 2 and a close overtake of third, would have scored paid 11. The surprise of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Perky had 4 good battles with Zach, the Swindon boy coming from behind in the first 2. Harris wouldn't have done as well as Batch. The Robins team looks good, the biggest concern must be the poor crowd, real lack of atmosphere, there has to be regular Thursday night racing. Swindon at Somerset was far better racing, you never expect too much excitement at the Shabbey. Bloody cold wind last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robins team looks good may be a little questionable after one home win but the tweak we are about to perform should see us much more solid down the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I was with my 13 year old son at the stall selling tee shirts and saw Martin Ashby stood close by. Â "That's Martin Ashby there," I said to him. Â "Where?" Â "There. In the black leather jacket," I said. Â "That guy there?" he asked. Â "Yeah." Â "But he just looks like a normal guy," said the boy, somewhat suprised. Â "Well he isn't" I said. Â Not sure what he was expecting. Not a "normal guy" apparently.
