You can say that about Perks every week. 100% trier and never gets the points he deserves. Good for his average next year though!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well done Swindon. Is it over yet? I switched it off after heat 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Potter Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Looks like they've made a fairly decent job of the new track. Not much of a wide line, is that normal or because it was slicker then usual? Possibly better with more banking?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was slicker tonight for obvious reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Masters has stuck 2 fingers up to Wolves over the play offs since he nailed his colours to Edinburgh last week. I'd include Thorssell in that hes not improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that there is more speedway next week where you can watch the Robins efforts to secure a league and cup double.

Speedy swindon pete Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I was expecting Swindon to make it through to the final tonight, but wasn’t expecting Wolves to make it so easy for us. Shocking display from a very good team. The track was very good considering the amount of rain we’ve had recently, especially yesterday evening. Unfortunately Wolves didn’t fancy making a fight of it so we didn’t see much actual racing on it. Passing was hard work because it was particularly slick, but not surprising considering the circumstances. Well done to the track team. Swindon should really go on to win the final now. Anything else would be a massive choke/freak result. But Ipswich will put up a good fight I’m sure. If they can get an 8 point advantage from the first leg, it will make things very interesting for the 2nd leg. Hopefully it will be more competitive than tonight and at least create some atmosphere at the stadium. Lack of competition tonight made things very flat indeed. Vissing making the usual suspects look like muppets again tonight. Keep it up lad. Just wish Perks could make a gate every now and then, got plenty of pace, but last out the start each time. Great work from the boys over the last two nights. Hilarious thinking about all the panic mid way through the meeting at Poole on the TV earlier in the year, when we had a bit of a mid meeting slump and everyone was saying we don’t stand a chance of even making the Play-Offs with such a long tail, which we then came back to lose by just 2 points on the night. We’ve gone from strength to strength since. Just shows that people should have a little faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresham78 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well done the Robins but I expected more from Wolves; they're a much better team than they showed tonight. A professional job by Capt Doyle and his men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 One thing I did notice. When Ellis rides with Doyle he seems more confident. His starting seems better and he is fast and gone. But when in a heat without Doyle he seems less confident. Do Swindon fans notice this? He has continued to improve and seems to be close to becoming third heat leader. Just a little inconsistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well done Swindon top team against a very disappointing Wolves side, can't believe how bad they were.Onwards to the final where Ipswich have perennial play off man Harris who always struggles at Ipswich but could be a trump card at Swindon.

Col Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Wolves rubbish, only riders worth retaining are Howarth & Becker. Heats 7, 9 & 11 were good, rest of it was gate & go. Racing over after half a lap, but better than the old Blunsdon. Swindon to win the final by 40+ on aggregate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
