orion 7,614 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) He actually rode really well. Gave Kildemand a great race and also led Morris and Zengi. Just struggled with his exit to bend 4 a bit. He was superb from the tapes. Spot on ..his scores does not show how well he rode. Thou Swindon won tonight they were really poor .

mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 3, 2015 Spot on ..his scores does not show how well he rode. Thou Swindon won tonight they were really poor . I think Ward not only helped them on track but also played a big part off track. Swindon struggled with Ward on their last visit to Poole. Will the result when Swindon visit Poole on Monday may play its part in who Poole pick? Do they already have a team in mind? Could be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adder 94 Posted September 3, 2015 Havvy messed up by leaving Sarge in Heat 9. We assumed Garrity would have been brought in so were well pleased when the change wasn't made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chalkie 263 Posted September 3, 2015 Question-why do we always have to have that plank Watters refereeing Swindon v Coventry matches, he always tries to spoil them with his "I'm bigger than the riders attitude." Thankfully, his attempts to scupper Swindon's chances went pop in the end but I would be very grateful if he never refereed another match at the Abbey, old or new! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you like to tell us what you think he did wrong tonight. Oh yes I forgot you are not meant to pull Swindon riders back for moving at the start no when they are at the abbey.

mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 3, 2015 Ward struggled at Poole ??? Paid 10, Engine failure from 5 rides! Where did I say Ward struggled?

I'd never seen that before and thought it was just Watters inventing a new rule but I'm probably wrong, as usual. I'm sure someone will let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
