stevebrum Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 A cracking final Steve & here's hoping Freddie & Jacob recover well from their serious injuries. Yes it was a great 2 legs.

Crazy robin Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Exactly and we'll said. With a small tight track you have to use your brains not full throttle. That's why it's such an exciting teach to watch speedway at. What a turn round for Tobi though who looked class tonight & showed how much he has progressed as a rider.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Chuffed big time for Swindon ! Well done to all of their 8 riders tonight, especially Bomber who played a blinder !!! Having been told numerous times tonight by Pearson, Tatum, Brandon et al of Mr Doyle being the best rider in the World right now, I have to whole heartedly agree and fully hope and expect he pulls of the dream in Poland come Saturday evening. He has been loyal to the speedway set-up in the U.K. this year when the other 'prima donna's' walked away. Big respect Jason Doyle. Hope to see you back in 2018 Â Big respect to Doyle for been loyal to British speedway but be completely disrespectful to Britain's most loyal and honest servant in the sport over the last 20 years are you for real ????

Aces51 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 You have to feel sorry for Wolves, especially only losing by one point but Swindon topped the league table and deserved to win. Not many expected them to win at Wolves because of their home advantage but they never gave up and just about did it in the end. Â The track was well prepared, the racing wasn't brilliant but it was ok and the closeness of the score and tense atmosphere made good viewing. Â A special mention for Nathan Greaves who showed what he is capable of achieving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little sad we sold Tobi as he clearly looks like he has progressed nicely. I'd say he has been your signing of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well done Swindon.  Fluctuating scores all night but 13 and 15 were the downfall for Wolves  Wolves seem to have a habit of losing by one point.....remember the Belle Vue meeting where Bobby Ott won the last heat to clinch the league points on the night by one solitary point.. and hence the title.

Steve0 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I'm a little sad we sold Tobi as he clearly looks like he has progressed nicely. I'd say he has been your signing of the season. He completed the team - as we were one rider away from a decent team until that point. I think the whole team have a claim to being signing of the year but for me Morra tops the list Edited October 4, 2017 by Steve0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 A thoroughly gripping meeting (admitedly because of the scoreline rather than the racing) with Swindon deserved champions on the night and over the season. Unlucky on Wolves losing Freddie and Jacob who I feel would have made the difference. Â Well done the Robins. Good luck to Doyle on Saturday when he will hopefully clinch that world title. Given a Brit can't win it I'll be cheering for him. I can't begrudge the guy, especially after the way last year's GP campaign ended for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Congratulations Swindon, you made me eat my words, after heat 1 it looked for a few heats as if the Robins were again in self destruct mode but came more and more into the meeting as it got into the latter stages. Poor performance from Bomber which i was,nt expecting, great ride from Morris in heat 13, and Greaves was superb he,s really come on this season. The tension came out of the tv screen and it was compulsive viewing, down to the last race of the season and not a ludicrous double tac in sight. Doyley certainly did the job and I really hope he can seal the world title Saturday. Edited October 4, 2017 by bellevueace 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyd Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Everyone has there opinion and there are loads of thoughts and comments on "should be's" and "could be's" along with "what if's" and "maybe's" but at the end of the day Swindon are play off champions over the two legs and the real winners for me (apart from Swindon) were ......................... British Speedway and all that viewed the matches either at the tracks or on the TV. Â I think it was a great advert for British Speedway and the riding and action in both matches for me was just BRILLIANT. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Unfortunate for Wolves with the injuries to Freddie and Jacob and hard to take that they so nearly covered for their absence. But I'm glad that the team that topped the table won the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Harris is the easy target and so he should be after that abortion. However 1 extra point from a Wolves rider, particularly 'on his arse again' Riss was all that was required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
