salty Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Not sure what this has to do with speedway, but hey ho. Steve is correct. The actual origins of Bournemouth is Holdenhurst Village, out near Bournemouth Airport, (which is in Christchurch by the way!) So Southbourne is actually named correctly. Explains it perfectly.

Cliffeboy Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Good luck to the Robins in this one and well done for finishing top. IMO you are the champs, you are the best team, the table doesn't lie. I hope you win the play offs , which are ridiculous. 16 point difference between the teams in the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing top gives Swindon pick. All square again now. Playoffs are brilliant. You are certainly in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed SS. We squeaked into the playoffs 2 years ago, pushed a quality Pirates side mighty close in the Grand Final. Take nothing for granted in the Playoffs!

I also think Swindon or any team that finishes top deserve it over a season. I suppose the play offs give's more sets fans and teams something to race for.Keeps the interest up until the end and brings money in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the season starts every team knows that finishing top means nothing, so it's pointless complaining about it. I myself might not not particularly agree with the play-offs but that's the way it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrhbig Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Which is why there should be two awards.I agree, that said always remember that the league tables will always have Swindon at the top, even if they lose the play offs.

A ORLOV Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Will have to see how BWD goes at Peterborough today, and if he is fit enough to ride tomorrow or if we have to bring in someone like Kyle Newman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I don't think there was any practice booked for tomorrow. As Ray c has said, the fact that it's a playoff should be enough to make sure the team is on their best game. If it's not good enough, then congrats to the Robins who are expected to go through the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 You do as Hans does not like wet mucky tracks.Hans will ride it whatever its like, he rode at Kings Lynn when others refused and always gives his best for the team, he is one rider who we can rely on.
