Track is like a dustbowl, outgated and Bellego needs to go. Better backup needed for Zach at reserve. 

Another thing for the  new near by residents to moan about. And then there's you...

Win from Bellego in heat 14 makes sure the Robins don't lose. Just thought I'd mention it.

Shocking performance from Swindon tonight against a team that hasn’t performed well at Blunsdon this year - until now!  Having to use a TS at home against such a poor team just shows you can’t take anything for granted.  Looks like the track preparation played a big part but RH deserved more than their 1 point.

Rye deserved a point and were unlucky . the Scott Nicholls ef when in the lead was vital to the overall result .Saying that how on earth was there no re run in  the last heat ? Harris and Muse were wheel to wheel when mpt fell

Got to say whilst anyone would have liked 3 points last night would I have taken a point before the meeting? YES

Seems both teams could make a case for a better result but there still seems to be life in this team as I did not expect to trouble 40 points before the meeting.

well, after going behind the way we did, to drag that result back to a win with a 14 point swing, got to be happy with that.

sure, DB is struggling at the moment, but pretty sure he's going nowhere... (much to the disgust of RR) :D

the track wasn't as quick as it has been for the last few meetings with a bigger bias on gates 1 & 3...

Rye House must be gutted to not convert that start they had, 2 - 10 after 2 heats...

The Robins were off their game last night and it really looked likely at one stage that Rye were going to win it, however they turned it round in the end.

If the team can be as below par as they were last night and still win I think it bodes well. In any team sport even the best  teams have occasional lapses in form but  the top teams can still win even when they're not at their best.    

I think there may have been a bit of complacency last night but judging by Rosco's demeanor at the post meeting  press conference this will get addressed sooner rather than later.

One final thought and that is about David Bellego. He seems to becoming the team's whipping boy for sub par performances. Some people seem to forget that David was a a key component in last season's success, a point raised by Rosco himself during the season review. Sure he's not riding as well as he did last year but I'm sure he can pull his form round.

We don't want to become like the Pikey's on the south coast and start ditching riders as soon as their form dips.
