Cliffeboy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 how many times have we used Kennett and he looks like he can't be bothered .Still haven't forgotten the Play off final when he replaced Ollie Allen at No 1 and didn't beat anyone out of their top five, we lost by a point.

drew2 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Looking at the other fixtures on Thursday, the doubling up riders and of course the averages they (Kennett and Starke) are pretty much the only options available to the Rebels as guests. Another great one in the wonderful world of speedway we have Paul Starke, a Somerset asset I believe, who we dropped in May, who rode against us on Monday for Leicester and now is back in Rebels colours three days later. Wonder if he will dust off his team suit from the start of the season for one night only to look the part??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 What a joke this match has become. Surely just surely, even with the amount of fixtures Swindon have left, there must of been a better date available? The fact we have Kennett and Starke riding for us is even more of a joke.

Any potential change to this fixture would have meant you losing call on Grajczonek and Wright as well as it would have become a re-arranged fixture! That's what happens when you sign 3 doubling up riders who all race for other league Clubs on the same night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunRobin Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Good point. If only I wasn't on me 'olidays mate!! Disgraceful, sun & booze in the Canaries instead of raising the roof for the Robins! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Showers forecast for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 We had quite a bit of rain during the night but now is sunny and windy so the track should be fine. The forecast has changed and now just predicts a brief shower around 8pm, so the meeting should be ok. We are likely to get a win and three points which will increase our lead over BV at the top of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 This has the makings of a 60-30 all over it I think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Swindon facing a team at the right time again. Somerset extremley weakend but at least it does Poole a favour. Heeps or Doolan - Heeps Lawson or Kennett - Lawson any day of the week Allen or Starke - Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully will be reasonable turnout from Wurzelland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Only your promotion to blame for this, made the changes knowing that you would loose some of the riders. Tonight being one of those nights. What a joke this match has become. Surely just surely, even with the amount of fixtures Swindon have left, there must of been a better date available?

Gresham Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Praying for rain and it being called off, otherwise can see Gary's May's select team getting absolutely thrashed with this line up. Predicting over 60 for Swindle. In saying that...perhaps Swindle will ease off knowing their play off place is secure and Somerset can still get to 4th.

keef robin Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Start delayed one hour till 8.30 Praying for rain and it being called off, otherwise can see Gary's May's select team getting absolutely thrashed with this line up. Predicting over 60 for Swindle. In saying that...perhaps Swindle will ease off knowing their play off place is secure and Somerset can still get to 4th. I would rather we faced Poole.

keef robin Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Called off till next Thursday. Not good for the fans that have a 80-100 mile and further round trip. Face Rebs again in double-header on Bank Holiday Monday 4 days later. Be interesting to see their line-up.
