Speedy swindon pete Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 God crowd. Terrible racing. It’s been absolutely awful this year. You know it’s bad when you see Morris slowing down Aarnio to try and get Ellis through, but Ellis can’t find anything anywhere to even get close to passing. Trouble is with all the doubt over the future of the track and stadium, I can’t imagine that the club will be spending any money on the track at all. It suffers awfully for it. well done to Somerset for beating what was in front of them, but I thought their middle order was bang average. It was only Aarnio’s heroics (who i wouldn’t mind seeing as a temp replacement for Bellego if it was needed) that spared them from the blushes of not putting away a team which had reserves not beating an opponent out in 10 of the 15 heats! Hilarious seeing all the hindsight heroes having a moan about what should have been done about the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadful track hopeless racing embarrassing reserves against a Somerset side that didn’t exactly convince either neither will be anywhere near winning the playoffs and at this rate Swindon won’t even make them Well considering we now sit 5 points clear with a meeting in hand I say we look pretty good. Haven't lost in seven meetings whilst having a heat leader scoring just 1 in two meetings. Beaten Wolves at Monmore and ride BV well. That doesn't look to me a side that won't be anywhere near winning the playoffs. Not saying we will though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t make replacements they have done it exactly “the wrong way”. Because making changes for riders who are not performing is an essential part of the sport. It keeps the winning mentality and puts pressure on riders to maintain or improve or they are the next to go. Successful clubs have always done this. Why do you think Poole have won so much in the last 15 years? But I like this idea of Swindon keeping the faith with the original seven. Long may they continue to do so.

It wouldn’t really be glory if “the Poole select” win it this year, would it? It would be a polish of turds! Just for the record, Poole have 4 (soon to be 5) of their own assets in their 1-7.

Hilarious seeing all the hindsight heroes having a moan about what should have been done about the team. Aarnio beat Lindgren last year when guesting for Robins, would be a good signing, along with Palm Soft. Apart from Doyle the Rebs look pretty average, the absence of Dave and Zach was massive, as they scored 10 points each when they beat the Rebs 58-32 around 8 weeks ago.Swindon won 8 races, and the 10 heats with Perky and Smiffy cost em. The track is awful, mainly due to the hot dry weather, and is too Sandy. With 8 home matches and 6 away to come should be top 4 place for the reigning champs. Otherwise I will eat my programme board.

I cannot help noticing a certain irony in a Swindon fan mentioning team changes and winning leagues through them.. *cough* Tobiasz Musielak *cough* A fine local lad who came up through the Sprockets I presume?... If Speedway wants to be taken seriously as a team sport then winning has to be the ultimate attainment.. And if you are not doing enough of it, then you either improve the performance of your current personnel or you change them.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nonsense as usual Belle Vue 1972 the greatest side i ever saw they kept the same 1/7 and they won it in the correct manor.Of course you want to win but most fans want a team they can relate to not keep having endless changes.Your club in the last two years chasing the dream endlless changes like Lahti,Kennett,Starke, Zengota, Nielsen, R.Worrall all short term measures.

Tobi was one of Swindon’s two tactical changes in 2017 and he was brought in as an asset, kept for the season and retained this year. How many of Poole’s and Leicester’s team changes this year have come in as assets, been kept and will be retained next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with what you say, something the BSPA is completely oblivious to. This is where the play-offs fail the teams that don't make the play-offs.

Can you tell us what next years league structure and rules are please? There’s no I in team and whatever riders Matt Ford puts out the fans will cheer the team. Enjoy your same 1-7 for the rest of the season and leave the other teams to battle out the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy swindon pete Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Why oh why are people still engaging with them?! We all know they’re talking bollocks just to get a rise out of people, yet people keep rising to the bait time and again. How hard is it to just say nothing?!! wise up folks.
