Mattfordfan Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Nothing to do with Swindon as the team is average don't hate I'm just be honest. The league has been an utter joke and Swindon have faced the right teams at the right times. Facing us when the Poole riders are out of form. Facing KL when they had to sack Heat Leaders for Championship riders due to attitude problems. Rye House when KK had to be replaced by a NL rider. The list just goes on and on. But Swindon can only beat what's in front of them and that's what they have done. Just goes to show how weak the league has become imo. Think Wolves will beat Swindon in the final if I'm being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I hope we win it is to shut up that team swapping little Pr1ck Gater1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy8 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The 2012 team is hard to beat imo. Anderson, Stead, Morris, Batchelor, Kildemand, Doyle, Lampart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 11 wins from the last 11 meetings goes to show how good Swindon are, and another 4 away points to pull away at the top of the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Facing the right teams at the right time? It's the right time to be facing Swindon too. Doyle more out than in. Zach out for the year. Just as well Swindon haven't been at full strength themselves when facing everyone 'at the right time'. Mind you, is there a 'wrong' time to face Poole this year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Depends how recent you mean by recent times. In EL era, Bradford 97 Ippo 98 Poole 03 and Coventry 07 would eat this Swindon team for breakfast. It's definitely the best Premiership team of recent times.

theblueboy Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) I agree with Steve, the team is mediocre, if they do win the league it will show how weak the league is, by by Chapman.. So, if the top of the table on a 11 match winning run is mediocre. What is the one word you would use to describe the 4th place Pirates?

How do you account for the rest of the season tho'? 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 It wasn't that long ago that people were saying Swindon were a 2 man team & had a long tail. The same riders have now found their feet & confidence & it shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway has been rubbish for a number of years and the problems that we see are seen every year. In terms of quality, the teams are built to exactly the same points limit. The quality is significantly lower but all teams are exactly the same whether you build to 50 or 30 points. To win 11 on the bounce irrespective of quality is a remarkable achievement given that a significant proportion of those wins have occurred without the one rider that is genuinely world class.

Rayleigh Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 As Rye House fan who has see then twice live and on telly once they may not have "the names" of other Swindon teams but there seems to be a spirit that overcomes any adversity, so whether they are best I am not quailed to judge but it depends on your definition of "best" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
