A ORLOV Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 First home meeting for Swindon this season with a first leg result of BV 48 Swindon 42. The robins should be able to get the better of BV at Blunsdon, providing some of them remember to stay on their bikes at the start gate and not get off to do any gardening. http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.3062 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max was good but we have no fear of any of the other riders. Edited March 21, 2018 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Zach only picked up a point in heat 9 because of Tungate's engine failure and probably wouldn't have done any better had he started from the gate. Musielak wouldn't have scored anything if he hadn't have been penalised in heat 13. He was against Cook and Fricke so his only realistic chance would have been to beat Morris for third.

g13webb Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I know its early season, but feel Belle Vue will be too strong for Swindon.. I thought Swindon got out of jail losing by only 6 pts in the first leg,. I don't see much difference between the heatleaders, or the reserves, but feel BV have the edge in the middle order. Can see this finishing close, with that 6points lead being decisive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Swindon will have more home advantage than Belle Vue had,IMHO 6 pts is not enough of a lead to take to Blunsdon. I will go with Swindon winning the Shield, hopefully it will be a good match, and more practice for when the real stuff starts. 50-40 to Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Fantastic for The Aces on winning the 2nd leg and the Charity Shield without turning a wheel. Luckily, the meeting isn’t raced on this forum and a timely reminder for those Aces fans is that last season the Robins minus Doyle won by 6 points against a full strength Aces team. RR garnered a measly 6 points so I think the chat is somewhat misplaced. If RRRohan Tungate decides to get his act together then the Aces have a chance but Cook is average at Swindon and Swindon’s top 3 will sort him out. I fancy the Robins to be too strong and to win by 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Drozdz is going to take time to adapt to uk tracks. He was looking better towards the end of the meeting on Monday and I think will improve as the season goes on but it's too soon to expect him to score well tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Surprisingly for me. Drozdz main problem on Monday was his gating. It wasn't very good at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to this, expect our top 5 just to edge it in the robins favour on the night, whether We can win by 8 remains to be seen. Hoping for a good start & no mishaps on track for any riders. Weather looks set fair (if a little cold come give evening, saying that, it can be 30 degrees in the day & the Abbey is always cold).

Steve0 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not really bothered by the result of this early season opener. The aim of tonight is for the riders to get match fit, get more time on track for their setups and to clear away the winter cobwebs. I didn't think it would be close at BV and that's how it turned out. The same could happen tonight! Swindon's 1-5 are fine and should outscore the opposition - just need the reserves to have a confidence building good meeting. The important goal is to be ready for their first league meeting! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other night Zach/Davey got 7 between them compared to 10 between Bewley/Etheridge Zach i believe can be a powerful reserve at home i would be happy with the minimum 8/ 10 points between them most weeks.

Sidney the robin Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I am really looking forward to tonight i think it will be a narrow home win for the Robins Fricke at his best can fly around the Abbey and it will be interesting to see how Drozdz fares.The crowd is very hard to predict and it will be bloody cold (The Abbey the coldest in Swindon) so i recon it could be between 1,900 - 2,200. ? i hope everyone enjoys there night.

bellevueace Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think the Robins will win this fairly comfortably. Drozdz is going to need time to settle in, i also think Tungate is going to have to improve his away form this season as he wasnt that convincing last season. Cook does seem to struggle a bit at Blunsdon, it will be interesting to see how Etheridge goes too. Davey rode well at our place so im interested to see how he goes tonight, both sides need a few meetings to get up to speed, thats why im giving this a miss and coming down for the league match in May. Hope its a good meeting for you all tonight and you dont freeze too much 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Definitely looks like I misjudged Davey. He really is up for this challenge in the top league - hope he maintains this form! He could turn out to be a very shrewd signing rather than the cannon fodder I expected him to be. Glad to be proved wrong! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
