Swindon v Peterborough Premiership Thursday August 29th


Recommended Posts

The score does not tell the whole story of the meeting Swindon were awesome but there was some good racing..Both Panthers gated against Ellis /Doyley and were in control for a lap or so but both the Robins tanked on  through.For the Panthers both Tungate and Garrity were great value  they tried there utmost Charles Wright looked quick in one race and something is certainly happening with him as he only had  four rides.

Not much point in using charles in that last race really.

Think some are reading a bit too much into it.

Boro and Ippo both lost 46-44 last time at Abbey. Now they're both massacred by 40 points. This Robins team certainly the form team at the moment, everyone is firing. 4 away meetings coming up, including cup final. Need some points on the road to make sure of play offs.

I Bow to your superior track knowledge I spoke with 8 riders from both teams and all said the track was brilliant! Perhaps thats where they are going wrong !

All the happy clappers will say somebody’s got to come last  . Bar a couple of matches .this season has been a complete embarrassment from start to finish .

Have to agree  It promised so much at start Great new race suits etc but thats was where it ended! The track has been great so they cant blame that [having spoke to riders last night ]

I profess to not know anything about tracks raceability having never ridden, perhaps the mix of riders is just wrong?

Enjoyed the meeting and the racing despite the score from Peterborough.

Nick Morris improved as the meeting went on, and just hope if we should meet Wolves in the play offs his guesting does not come back and bite us at home.

All the Robins rode well and now have to look forward to three away meetings on the trot.

Was it a decent size crowd A ORLOV?  With big scores like the past couple of weeks Terry Russell will be saying his prayers!!;)

More there than I thought there would be, with two meetings in one week and with weak opposition.  I would guess over 1000.

I know it's only one example, but my mate went with his missus on Thur against Poole and loved it and he went on Monday and she has been to both since and brought along family members. The Poole meeting was the best in years at Swindon and if you add the on track action alongside the deals the management are offering this season then all of a sudden speedway is a good night out again. Well done Terry Russell for the track and well done Lee Kilby for the promotion.

terry russell is probably more able than most promoters to cope with lots of points money payments,certainly pleased pirates havent racked up those high scores,extra payments like that might have moved the poole promotion into early decisions!!
