Great effort .......... they almost beat a 5 man team that only had one heat leader ........... but still blew it despite Boy Batchelors best efforts to wipe out Lambert.

Fantastic performance :t: 

Given the standard of Swindon's reserves wouldn't you expect a 5 man home team to beat a 4 man away team? :rolleyes:

Didn't see the fall by Lambert in heat 15   but did Batch nearly stand a chance of being out of the re-run   ???

According to most near the first bend Batch didn't turn at all,quite intentionally to squeeze Lambert up.Disgraceful move really which could have ended up very bad for Lambert.How he walked away from that i will never know.He was tossed around like a rag doll before clattering into the fence with his bike.Boy his adrenalin was pumping in the re-run though,the atmosphere from the fans come to life there and then.Like S.Lambert said the atmosphere was like a boxing match for ht 15 keep it up.

Well Batch not bad for a sh*t team eh.Topped the league,ko cup final and the play-offs to look forward to.No wonder you were the last one to leave the pits a tad embarrassed i would think:D

Supposedly on Twitter it was Rosco being held back, no idea who he was looking to pale though.

Again this was a throw back to the good days.Aggro in the pits,the disgusting move by Batch,although i would rather not see that as a rider could have been seriously hurt.But this always gets the crowd going.I mean i heard a young lad turn around to his dad i assume and say now which one is Batchelor.All adds to the tension of a big ht 15 and everyone baying for Batchelor's blood:rolleyes:

That is exactly what I miss. If Speedway had that kind of atmosphere week in week out the sport would thrive. It needs tension and rivalries. Everyone gets involved and the kids love it. It's what creates memories and love for the sport, 9 times out of 10 the actual racing is easily forgotten.

Night's like tonight is when I wish I was there.

Rosco is talking bull....It WAS the fault of his riders, squeezing Robert Lambert out as they knew it was the only way they would beat him....And he ought to take a look at the behaviour of his own riders(one in particular) in the pits afterwards before he has a dig at the Lynn fans....And his own conduct as well!  I applaud Batchelor for being man enough to ignore the Lynn supporters to shake Lamberts hand after the race. Sour grapes from Rosco.....A shame really....

There’s a fine line between hard and dirty and in my opinion Batchelor went over that line. His only interest was to try and stop Robert by whatever means he could.

Not saying he meant for Robert to fall but he knew the only way he could possibly beat him was by stuffing him.

Other than the closeness of the aggregate score, actually thought it was a pretty dull meeting racing wise but heat 15 certainly livened the place up.
