Who on earth decided that Aarnio was the answer to the number 7 position?

Back from injury (again!) and doesn't manage to complete one race without checking out injured again!

 

Said so at the time, a completely backward step. Sign a rider that will struggle to score anything for a rider that at least gets 2 or 3. Crazy decision.

I’ll go in the middle and say he’s ‘fragile’. Togy Tele not an easy ride. We had no chance so agree best protected. 

I would go along with that but there are signs hes finding his way back.

Aarnio looks to be a bit of a disaster. Still tonight cannot be just down to him. Away meetings are not what we want right now.

Good weather, good crowd, good racing. Swindon top 5 very powerful, and reserves chipped in.

Top 5 ? Good crowd ?

A good solid Swindon performance and some good racing again Bewley's pass of Doyle in heat 10 was terrific and heat 13 was out of the top drawer.Musielak really does look classy and if we make the play offs we will scare alot of teams the double could be a possibility.???Maybe i am wrong there are more people watching over bends 2/3 but i thought the crowd was not the best i recon about 1100.

There was more than 1100 there last night. I reckon it was more like 2,000 - a pretty decent crowd for a speedway meeting these days.

I don't know if you took a wander down the back straight, but it was pretty packed from the end of the stand down to bend 3. The home straight was pretty busy too.

It's difficult to judge properly, though. Nobody really stands on bends 1/2 any more because the track is so far away, and the straights are also more  compact.

But it seemed pretty busy to me last night.

2000???? no chance you usually get that for Poole or play/offs  the starting gate side is nowhere near as packed as it used to be.Where i was after heat three on the old cheap side yes the numbers have gone up alot there but 2000 really?? hope you are right though.

I reckon it was around that, yes, although guessing crowd numbers isn't easy. It certainly wasn't a poor crowd.  I thought it was a good crowd for these times - and nice to see lots of kids and younger adults there. Good weather, school holidays and opposition that haven't just been there in the last 2 weeks, and the crowd was decent. I took a wander round, and there were a lot of people on the bank towards the third bend.
