thecoombdog Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 The awful away form continues. Can see Wolves doing a proper number on us in the 1st leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Looks like the wet track caught out BV in the early heats. A Swindon rider won 7 of the first 8 races. But only won 1 of the last 7. The Robins 1-5 scored 38 of the 41 points, But only had 7 heat wins between their 24 rides. Think Swindon have got this though.

Rob B Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Racing got a lot better in 2nd half of meeting, there was a deep outside line if you were brave enough and inside was working for dive bombs. Surprised we won by 8 in the end without Bjerre and Fricke was poor, one of his worst home meetings of the season wasn’t gating and looked slow.

Belle Vue still badly weakened by using R/R. ?? So it's ok for the sport to be nothing more than contrived nonsense? In a Final too? Fair enough if so, but no one can moan when crowds then reflect this nonsense.. (Like they appear to do each week of the season).. I wonder if anyone in authority has actually ever given serious thought to running Speedway in the UK properly? You never know. It might be worth a go... As let's be honest, it looks like they have tried just about everything else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Didn’t BV have a choice of riders in heat 15? Worrall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) First visit to the NSS. Excellent facility and superb viewing down the back straight. Special mention to the Yorkshireman, I think it was John, who introduced himself and we had a good chat and a bit of banter. Well done to the Aces. Bjerre not riding should have meant a win for the Robins in all honesty but credit to the Aces for battling and securing a deserved win on the night with Lidsey and Bewley starring. Alpen showed much better form and was in the mix all the way and Doyle was great in 3 and poor in 2. The rest was a mixed bag. Should be silverware for the Robins next week but shouldn’t take The Aces lightly. Edited September 12, 2019 by theblueboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Well after the Moaning I went. Shame the rain put paid to any type of spectacle, track was wet and it made ftg racing, last 2 races aside. Surprised by the win tbh, especially without Bjerre. Got to fancy Swindon though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he made a jump all night. Very strange. All things considered, with Bjerre and with him at 3, we probably would have took a much bigger lead. Track was a leveller in the first half of the meeting. Least we go there with something to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Just happy to get a win on the night with no Bjerre, wasn't expecting that, no way will 8 be enough I wouldn't have been confident with double that given our woeful away form. What are Robins fans thoughts on the play offs? Do you think your top 5 will see you home or do you think the lack of points from reserve will be your downfall?

They are going to struggle if they end up at Wolves. The problem with Swindon is one of there too 5 always goes missing on the road. Last time at BV it was Tobias, and tonight it was Jensen. Role reversal. They have the best top 5 in the league but they rarely deliver all at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
