TheRealFiend Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Where is the criticism of Riss? After all the stick Tungate got last week Riss couldnt stay on the bike either last night night. Exactly. Riss cost Wolves the title but everyone wants to take it out on Chris Harris. Sums up this forum though. Even Peter Adams had no faith in Riss towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Peter Adams had no faith in Riss towards the end. Post 398? I think you'll find it's often Wolves supporters on here that keep resurrecting it, especially trying to blame Aces riders for the unfortunate accidents. It doesn't matter now why we lost or how fair or otherwise it was, we lost, we weren't in the final and most of us have moved on. My concern is that things are calmed down before we meet in the KO Cup. Mark Lemon in today's Star?

Beowulf Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I hope we get two decent meetings and you will have a wider choice of guests. However, I do understand that it is nigh on impossible to replace Lindgren at Monmore but you can try and get a NSS specialist for the other leg. With a complete Aces team and Wolves using a guest and R/R, there is only 1 conclusion that I can come to, and it doesn't have to spelled out ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin wood Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Disgusting social media post asking if Rohan and Kenny got winners medals.Absolute gross behaviour which we have come to expect from these so called fans.Fortunately there are good enlightened Wolves posters on here!Seriously get well soon Freddie and Jacob and let's put all this animosity between these two great clubs to bed.

gimli27 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 As a Poole fan it was some consolation to know we lost to the champions , it was a great final great respect to two sets of fans showing respect to each other feel sorry for bomber who had a bad night not the first or last to suffer an off night Hope Freddie and Jacob recover fully for next season fingers crossed Jason gets his deserved championship on sat Respect to the interview with Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 That will be such as the following post from an apparently respected Wolves fan on social media... "Did Rohan Tungate and Kenneth Bjerre get Swindon winners medals tonight?" If Wolves fans want to dish it out to our riders they need to learn to take some back. I wish Jacob and Freddie the best of luck in their recovery by the way. Never nice to see riders hurt. Oh, and for the record I'm still waiting to hear about these social media posts from Aces riders that one particular Wolves fan got so precious about... I take it you are referring to the posts on the WOLVES fanspage in reply to moronic goading fans from Belle Vue?? like you say, don't go looking for trouble because you will likely start it. Sometimes saying nothing really is the best option. Some of the goading by aces fans on a WOLVES fanspage (yes that's correct a WOLVES fanspage) was beyond juvenile. With a complete Aces team and Wolves using a guest and R/R, there is only 1 conclusion that I can come to, and it doesn't have to spelled out ! Agreed. Absolutely couldn't care less about a meaningless competition that was binned years ago and resurrected for this year just like the promotion/relegation. No one really cares. We won't beat anyone at the Green without our top 2 so it's a completely meaningless competition for the fans and the sport. Aces won't lose it but no doubt we will never hear the last of it.

Gresham78 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Well done the Robins - showed great resolve to pick themselves up after Monday's under performance at the Abbey. Despite the excellent start it seemed to be drifting away from Swindon with the Monmore men coping admirably without their top two, in particular I thought Masters and Howarth were excellent value and was impressed with the progress that Nathan Greaves has made. To be honest given the way he was riding and the form of Bellego on the night I couldn't see him finishing 4th in heat 14. i thought Nick Morris's ride in Heat 13 to catch and pass Sam Masters was worthy of bringing the trophy back to Blunsdon. Swindon are good value as champions, finishing top of the league and with the 17 match winning run deserved the top award. Commiserations to Wolves who came within a whisker of winning it; on another night it could easily have gone their way. Given they were without their Swedish duo they and their fans should feel proud of their performance over both legs of the final Just one final point; Bomber is taking a lot of flack for last night but I'm sure he was doing everything he could to to get among the points. I don't think there's a more honest rider in British speedway and giving 100% for whoever he is riding for is in his DNA. Once again well done the Budgies - 2017 Premier League Champions!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Probably won't mean anything as none of these people will actually attend a live meeting but the amount of people who stopped me at work today to say they watched the last few heats and were hooked was amazing. Im the only speedway fan in an office of 80+ so its rare having anyone to discuss it with. If only we could get these people along to a meeting. Watched it back today and Morris werent half bad passing on the horror track!!! Inside and out. Maybe some riders just aren't good enough to handle it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postie arrived just as I left for work, took the post with me which included a couple of speedway DVDS. Ending up using them to configure the DVD player on network PCs and many folk stopped to watch the on-screen action. "Is this the speedway you are always talking about?", " and they can actually pass around the outside", "these guys ride all over the world?", "no gears or brakes (or fear!) at up 70MPH you say?". " Yep" to all. "It looks great, I'd love to see it 'live in the flesh' so, when is the next race in Hull ?", tricky one, was hoping no-one would ask that....

Fourentee Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Bomber should of only been beaten by Doyle and possibly Morris, he should of been nailed on for a minimum of 9 points. Bomber was utter garbage. Gave of his best, struggled for pace on the night and tried three bikes. Not his evening; down Wolves way (not that I speak for anyone else) I reckon we accept that, congratulate Swindon and their excellent supporters and move on.

foreverblue Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yet Mark Riss only beat Liam Carr. He wasn't given the opportunity in heat 12 or 14, he should have been in one of them, Greaves rode well but Riss is a better rider and given the meeting situation was worth the risk to be in one of those heats unless he was injured.
