Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 29, 2017 Assuming Rye get 4th. Swindon will choose BV and I think Swindon will win both legs. Wolves will beat Rye House heavy enough at home to go through on aggregate. Wolves will dominate Swindon at home and they will lose at Swindon but will win the title on aggregate. I like that storyline. We'll see, lots of twists and turns to come yet.

False dawn 2,298 Posted August 29, 2017 Injuries, the KK factor (?), home advantage or otherwise, down right bloody minded effort. There is a way to go just yet. And thank heavens it is so. Come into the playoffs 20 points behind and win the lot. Sound familiar? Clue Poole won't like it and I'm a Bees fan (present tense). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 30, 2017 Rye House are clearly the form team for the 4th place at the moment. I have to say I think a Rye House v Wolves semi-final or final will be an absolute cracker over two legs!! ps. anyone know how Morris is after the big crash in Sweden last night?

Perton Wolf 396 Posted August 31, 2017 Well that's one cat out of the bag, Swindon won't be picking Wolves in the semis. Straight from Jason Doyle: ''“We need to get the best pick possible, we don’t really want to have to go to Wolves and try to race them in the semis.'' http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/sport/15504433.Doyle_striving_to_secure_Swindon_top_seed_finish/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tric trac 53 Posted August 31, 2017 You have to beat the best teams to win the title so I don't think it matters who they pick.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted August 31, 2017 You have to beat the best teams to win the title so I don't think it matters who they pick.. True, Wolves have the best home record, but Swindon best away. If The Knobs get in would choose them, the Mancs second choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 31, 2017 You have to beat the best teams to win the title so I don't think it matters who they pick.. True, but if you get knocked out in the semi the club misses a big payday for the final, so it is best to pick the easiest team in the semi. The question then is do Swindon pick Poole/Rhy or BV in the semi ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question then is do Swindon pick Poole/Rhy or BV in the semi ? Quite. Surely the easiest team is Poole at the moment ? That would leave Wolves with Belle Vue and I don't think we would make the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,354 Posted August 31, 2017 I wonder if Swindon would try moving the dog racing if they get to the final as they race on Wednesday evenings... Failing that they would have to ride at home first.. No chance will the dogs move.. I wonder if Swindon would try moving the dog racing if they get to the final as they race on Wednesday evenings...

SPEEDY69 1,253 Posted August 31, 2017 Swindon will choose Poole (strong favourites for 4th) in the semi's, no doubt in my mind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) It almost sounds as though Swindon are getting a bit jittery despite their terrific winning run and topping the league??!! lol Me? I'll just be very pleased if Poole hang on to 4th even if Lahti does revert to the 1-5 from Monday! Edited August 31, 2017 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
