foreverblue Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I hope Ipswich make a fight of it but I doubt it, Swindon have far better riders and Batch will perform better, probably get a paid max. 55-35 is my prediction.

Ovalman Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Piecheck has been Witches top scorer last couple of times at The Abbey, they will miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the famous Abbey roar. Robins fans coming from Wales, Southampton, Surrey, etc., Come on Robins! Will we get 24? The Ipswich riders will be bang up for it tonight,,, so 26 is on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 The playoff final and 6 pages. Shows what people think of this second leg. No one cares other than the two teams involved and it’s a real shame. There’s no drama, jeopardy, nerves or anything about tonight. Flat as a fart pre meeting excitement sorry to say. Just calling it as I see it, not trying to wind anyone up. It’s just a fact. There’s no baddies you hope will fail, no goodies you hope will win. We can only hope Ipswich turn up with some fire in their bellies. Because they certainly didn’t have any in the first leg. If Ipswich get within 20 I will be suprised.

Bloody hell there’s a name from the past! Yes a wet track in the first leg took away our chance of a proper lead. But at this moment I bet many neutrals would have loved us to be against Swindon tonight. Even if it was to play the baddies. Would have put some life in this one sided final.

Swindon would have done you in the first leg so no difference really Poole were poor in the semifinals and don't keep blaming the track yawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thought the showers might die out but they are very heavy and heading Swindon’s way. Could be a real leveller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Ipswich are there on merit,so they deserve to be at Swindon tonight.Not Poole or any other team.Whatever the score might be Ipswich deserve it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I must confess surprise at Ipswich's riding order tonight - King at 2 and Heeps at 5 - or is this another Hawkins masterstroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) This meeting could be rain affected looking at the latest radar. Wet track leveller? Edited October 17, 2019 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems sensible to me. With judicious juggling of the reserves Danny could ride with Iversen three times and Jake Allen once, and Heeps could ride with Allen or Iversen in each of his races. Ipswich need heat advantages to have any chance, this line-up gives good opportunities for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
