More down to bike issues and being forced to ride at no.1 due to his 2nd Division converted average. He knows his way round the OTA though that's for sure. I'd feel more confident with him in my team than Schlein tonight, put it that way.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 What has the traffic been like on a Wednesday? Thinking about coming but can't leave Swindon until 5 30. I know that on a Friday that would be far too late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinning crowds... I wonder if there's a connection? Speaking of things thinning, I went for a haircut yesterday. It's the second one I've needed since the last home league meeting (June 25th). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will go Rebs 48 Robs 42, Zummerrzet have stronger reserves, but we need a point. Edited August 1, 2018 by auntie doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though.... Max Fricke did his level best to do the same on Monday.... No Promoters (or fans) should ever moan about why stadiums are empty, and the mainstream media persist in completely igoring the Sport, whilst such nonsense is allowed to take place... What you got away with years ago simply doesn't wash anymore in the glare of the 24/7 public scrutiny of Social Media... "Arrr, but this is Speedway". Is the stock answer from those who bury their head in the sand and collude with the promoters by attending and pretending that it is a 'real' Competition... (Those few who still attend that is)... Those many more thousands who have given up ever hoping it may one day gain credibilty to make it a bona fide 'proper' Competition, have a somewhat different view I would suggest.... And have 'spoken' loud and clear through their continuing absence.... Edited August 1, 2018 by mikebv 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelDan Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think this will be a really tight meeting maybe 47-43 either way. Let’s hope for some cracking racing. Morris was v average in the pairs so let’s see what Tungste does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Lawson needs to step up to the plate for sure tonight, he cost us big time Monday. He’s got the armband too. If the other Rebels are on usual form we should be ok. I can see Summers only getting three rides tonight, BWD and Jake are a different class at the OTA. It will be close especially if Bellego has a good one. 47-43 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm! I don’t think so, we’ve just dropped off massively. The deadline is the 12th August & I’m unsure if new averages will be out by then.
