keef robin 551 Posted August 17, 2017 We had quite a bit of rain during the night but now is sunny and windy so the track should be fine. The forecast has changed and now just predicts a brief shower around 8pm, so the meeting should be ok. We are likely to get a win and three points which will increase our lead over BV at the top of the league. If Robs lose to this Rebs line up will be the massive shock of the season. Hopefully will be reasonable turnout from Wurzelland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,354 Posted August 17, 2017 What a joke this match has become. Surely just surely, even with the amount of fixtures Swindon have left, there must of been a better date available? The fact we have Kennett and Starke riding for us is even more of a joke. And why's that then ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 17, 2017 Still bright, sunny and windy, no rain showers forecast anymore, so roll on 7.30. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted August 17, 2017 Only your promotion to blame for this, made the changes knowing that you would loose some of the riders. Tonight being one of those nights. What a joke this match has become. Surely just surely, even with the amount of fixtures Swindon have left, there must of been a better date available? The fact we have Kennett and Starke riding for us is even more of a joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gresham 928 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Praying for rain and it being called off, otherwise can see Gary's May's select team getting absolutely thrashed with this line up. Predicting over 60 for Swindle. In saying that...perhaps Swindle will ease off knowing their play off place is secure and Somerset can still get to 4th.

keef robin 551 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Start delayed one hour till 8.30 Praying for rain and it being called off, otherwise can see Gary's May's select team getting absolutely thrashed with this line up. Predicting over 60 for Swindle. In saying that...perhaps Swindle will ease off knowing their play off place is secure and Somerset can still get to 4th. I would rather we faced Poole.

keef robin 551 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Called off till next Thursday. Not good for the fans that have a 80-100 mile and further round trip. Face Rebs again in double-header on Bank Holiday Monday 4 days later. Be interesting to see their line-up. Edited August 17, 2017 by beefy keefy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
