thecoombdog 2,367 Posted October 1, 2017 Awful luck for Wolves and we should win over 2 legs easily now. Freddie is irreplaceable at Monmore. Puts a bit of a dampener on it for me now but at the end of the day we were the best team over 28 matches despite our own injuries so if we do it we deserve it. If its Bomber to guest then he was very good at Blunsdon covering for Doyley so JT will prob be missed more tomo but its Wednesday where Freddie missing will hurt Wolves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Such a shame for Freddie - best wishes for a speedy recovery. What a shame the grand final has now turned into the biggest anti climax the sport has seen since the inception of the playoffs.It might be an anti climax for you but not for others - particularly Swindon and Wolves fans. Yes its a blow for Wolves but you cant write off any team in the playoffs (except Poole ) Edited October 1, 2017 by Steve0 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,081 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) I think you should be able to get any guest from any team not involved in the final, you probably would still want Harris or Nicholls but i think the rule is wrong and you should be able to have a guest for any rider that is injured then you could at least have two full teams contesting the final.

theblueboy 960 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) What a shame the grand final has now turned into the biggest anti climax the sport has seen since the inception of the playoffs.Not since the semi final Steve...when Ellis, Morris and then Carr took it in turns auditioning for the role of Blunsdon track inspector and the Pirates were just one behind on aggregate... Just talk us through those last four heats again. Was that you on the back straight shouting 'come on you Pirates' after the 5-0? How do you Poole fans see it? Was that an anti-climax or would 'bottle job' be the words I am looking for? Edited October 1, 2017 by theblueboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted October 1, 2017 Unlucky for Wolves, especially no Freddie at Monmore, Jacob and him don't go well at The Abbey. Swindon should win it now, but ya never know in speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might be an anti climax for you but not for others - particularly Swindon and Wolves fans. Yes its a blow for Wolves but you cant write off any team in the playoffs (except Poole ) Of course its an anti climax. One team has lost its top two riders! You think Wolves fans don't think its an anti climax? They will be gutted they have lost Lindgren and Thorsell and they can't be covered by Harris and r/r. Swindon fans know its in the bag, be honest. If Swindon lose this it will be the biggest choke of all time. Wolves are currently leaderless and rudderless. The Titanic ten minutes after hitting the iceburg. Still floating but sinking fast. A real shame for the neutrals. I was looking forward to the final, and not caring in the slightest who won. Just hopefully two good and close meetings. Now that is not going to happen. Edited October 1, 2017 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted October 1, 2017 No doubt if Poole were still in it and were facing a weakened Wolves then they would still be massive underdogs. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody really goes that well at the Abbey to be honest. It's such a weird track these days. Rarely any decent racing and hard to see Bomber gating well enough to score many. At Monmore however, Bomber is easily the best visiting rider and could quite easily match Lindgren's huge score. Have to feel for Wolves though. Looks a tall order.
