SteveLyric2 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 This Poole fan is certainly not being dismissive of Swindon. When they click as they have done for 17 consecutive winning meetings they are a force to be reckoned with....... BUT as a certain Poole fan always says - love him or loathe him - nothing is won in May, June, July and August!! I am just pleased to have more meetings to attend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't know where you get the idea that everyone is writing off Swindon. Currently, there is a poll on Twitter and at the moment 42% think Swindon will win, Wolves are next with 24%, Belle Vue 18% and Poole 17%. Swindon are my favourites for the title but unsurprisingly, I think the Aces can do it if we have our full 1-7 and Fricke regains his form straight away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 With no team being able to strengthen up just for the play off it is a much better competition than last season, which lacked credibility and was a foregone conclusion after Wolves signed Woofinden. If Max is fit Belle Vue look a good match for Poole and Swindon but away at Wolves may be the problem again. Wolves chances rest on their home legs because they are poor away. Swindon could beat anyone home and away but could also lose home and away if the pressure gets to them. Poole must have a chance based on the way they battled to clinch fourth place. To be honest all teams have a chance because anything can happen in a speedway meeting I just hope there is no controversial decisions from the referee.

stevebrum Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Wolves chances rest on their home legs because they are poor away. We have won 6 times and taken points on 4 other occasions. We have failed to pick up anything on 4 occasions . So I fail to see your logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wolves are pretty solid away from home, Thorsell and Greaves maybe a little suspect away but the rest are going well everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't think Wolves have beaten any of the top teams away while Swindon have won at Belle Vue and Poole, Poole have won at Wolves and drawn at Belle Vue and Swindon and Belle Vue have won at Swindon and Poole. Yes but with full teams I expect some of those results may have been different. The play offs with hopefully full teams should be close matches home and away.

Phil The Ace Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Swindon - Poole Belle vue - wolves Poole and belle vue final with belle vue coming up Victors A full belle vue 1-7 will blast anyone away.

That's a different opinion then. So long as all teams have full strength sides then we can see whether Wolves are capable of beating them over 2 legs. Whoever wins over 2 legs is the better team, irrespective of who wins away. The stats show that Wolves aren't poor away however. Wolves have lost by 2 at Poole, lost by 1 at Swindon. Belle Vue is the only team we have lost comfortably at on both occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef robin Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Everyone seems to be writing Swindon off, and that probably suits us actually. The loss at Rye House probably did us good. Being league leaders could have put pressure on us, but first Poole fans and now Belle Vue fans are still just as dismissive as they were at the start of the season. We know we punched above our weight in the league, but if we click again we are still as strong as any of the other three. Maybe it's Poole and Belle Vue who are due a wake up call. Swindon smashed Belle Vue away 49-35 without Doyley, they also beat the Aces at home without him, and trounced Poole away 56-36, looking forward to seeing Muesli at his old club Wolves.Swindon and Poole were smashed at Rye, All 4 will be glad not to have to go there,and they're not in KO Cup semis.

No way am i dismissive of any of the top 4 , especially Swindon , but the majority of posts on here don't seem to fancy the Aces at all ? Maybe its rhe injury to Fricke or no genuine home track advantage , not quite sure the reason ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 either way Wolves are poor away particularly in comparison to the three remaining teams. Highly subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the loss of form of Bjerre, or as you say lack of home advantage, with Somerset and Leicester winning there. Poole's home form ain't good, so that's why most people would go Swindon-Wolves final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hope that Belle Vue get their injured riders back and can field a full team and can win the Play Offs they are ones that deserve to win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me wolfie Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Most neutrals will hope Belle Vue win after the way Chapman tried to put them out of business. No logic though, it's just emotions and how people react to different events. No neutrals will want wolves to win if that helps. Didn't they nearly put themselves out of business for failing to pay the rent? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
