If anybody was waiving white flags it was those two jerks!! Expand Yes true but although Rosco says it was grippy it wasn't deep enough so much deeper when Poole rode there.

Speedy swindon pete Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Great job from the Robins, well done lads. Hard lines on the Witches. Not sure why everyone is going so hard on Ipswich, they were written off as wooden spoon holders at the start of the season yet have still made the League final through a bit of grit and determination that would be a right tonic for a few other teams in this league. People can’t act all surprised and dismissive when they struggle against a massively strong team that underperformed for a lot of the year but really hit their stride since late August. Credit to the track guys at Foxhall for turning round what was probably an absolute quagmire into a decent racing surface. Some more workable lines would have helped the spectacle a bit and some dirt on the fence for their riders that like that might have helped them, but it wasn’t at all bad considering the weather we’ve had. Not sure if a big dirt line would have helped much anyway, you still need to make decent starts and riders like Doyle, Ellis and Rasmus have no problem with a bit of grip. It’s not like Batch stormed it tonight because it was bald as a coot. Only half time, but it would take something catastrophic to happen for the Robins to mess this one up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little unfair on here saying the Witches boys were “going through the motions” and Swindon “wanted it more”. Don’t agree. Swindon are simply just too strong. Every pairing that came out looks a potent one. They’ll be worthy champions without doubt. Expand Agree very worthy champions. Ipswich represent abject failures. They do deserve criticism given the manager who is not a motivator failed to instil any fight in a team that are mostly also rans. A spectacular failure as a final and from a T V event. The only chance Ipswich have is if most of the Swindon team cannot get to the stadium on Thursday. Feel sorry for the Swindon supporters who would have wanted a challenge to finish off the league season not a submission which is likely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severnsider Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 In Sweden in 2017 Smederna were massive underdogs against Vetlanda in the final. They lost home leg 41-49 then won away at Vetlanda the next night 54-36 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the reality is damaged limitation for Ipswich or should I say set a target of plus 30 points in the next leg to avoid total embarrassment.

False dawn Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 As mentioned more than once on the TV tonight, you have to admire the tenacity of Ellis Perks. Having followed his progress with both Leicester teams this year, I know him as one of those riders that rides hard for 4 laps in every race. 3 league titles in a single year is still very much on the cards. As I asked previously, would this be a first? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spl77 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Disappointing result for Ipswich but few thought we would make the final. Not for the first time some left the gating gloves at home and why can't we ride the tight inside line with the exception of Lawson. The promoter was a inside line master! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
