Perfectly happy with him. Just saying he’s on a par with Musielak in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion of course but what Musielak did in 2017 was not a surprise, but Rasmus really was only meant to be a number 2 replace Lampard.He has ended up not that far behind Batch for the no 2 spot which is unbelievable also this year we would of won the double would we have done that without the Lampart change.?Also without the rasser change there was a real danger of us not even making the play/offs at all.

thecoombdog Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well well well, who would have predicted we would have been sat here at the end of the season with 2 trophies in the bag. I didn't even think we would make the play offs in June!!! Rasser, Perks and Vissing have all made a big difference so the rubbish double winning manager Rosco got the changes right again. Thanks to Terry Russell for overseeing the track work and giving us some entertainment after years of gate and go. Final word to Lee Kilby who has been an absolute breath of fresh air around the place. A promotor who promotes and bar a couple of meetings mid season the crowd levels have surely been up this year. Roll on 2020!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree DOG chuffed for Lee and especially Alun, Lee Kilby is a massive plus for the club he has great people skills and he is what a modern day promoter is all about.On next year Dog team building which way would you go top heavy or a different approach what do you think.?

Can't see Batch being back even if we wanted him as sure the 2 riders over 8 will be back to ensure the new teams have a number 1. He's been class this season and would be missed. Think you need to try and get the rest back if you can. Looking at the averages on GB site we are currently at 46.34. If we had to lose Batch would be 4.98 left for final rider, maybe more with British reductions. Who knows what the limit will be tho!!

Douglas, Pickering, Stewart, are riders i like but could a young brit rule come in? Anders.That would be great to get the same six riders back continuity my other thought was leaving Claus out as i want at least one senior reserve all season and Ellis P is not quite that yet.

orion Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well done to all at Swindon .. the club was run so well and all riders gave 100 % and looked like they cared for the club . The track was spot on most weeks as well . Sorry for the Positive message about speedway as I understand that is not allowed on this forum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see the 2 Brit reserves back and would be keen on Rowe if the 7's were protected and all of a similar standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Great boost for the Town, not just the thousands watching at the stadium and on tv/radio. With all the worries about Honda and redundancies, brings a smile to peeps faces. Robins fans from Wales, South coast, Surrey, etc., Had to laugh at the guy, think hes from Gloucester, wearing loads of scarves, almost hysterical, and fans with no top on, unfortunately male! Was like a footie match! Edited October 18, 2019 by auntie doris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all moan at certain times but last night showed just how good speedway can be.At times in the last five years i have been going to Swindon on habit only this year i have really enjoyed it the club has made great strides.The track really looks exciting smooth and AOrlov tells me they will be looking to build the banking up gradually on bends 1/2 which will make it even better i just hope in November some positive decisions are made in our sport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the final this year to the final last year there is no comparison 2 sets of teams with a full 1-7 No dodgy illegal use of riders Just the leagues best 2 teams (apart from Wolves) to see who could be champions Both Ipswich and Swindon in my view are the best two promoted sides in the top league..............both get out into the community and involve the community....what a great job Lee Kilby has done The final at both venues had huge crowds and proper atmospheres Credit to both sets of supporters 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
