nw42 2,048 Posted October 2, 2017 Still anybody's title imo, too close to call, Swindon could be in front after 2 heats. Roll on Wednesday. Well done Wolves, as others have said I really enjoyed that from a neutral perspective. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoke Potter 242 Posted October 2, 2017 Poor spectacle, especially for a Grand Final. Swindon never seems to be prepared for decent racing. 10 Passes in 6 Heats, 9 Heats no passes. This is what's wrong with the sport! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted October 2, 2017 Well done Wolves, no one can say they didnt deserve it after that performance. Swindon bottled it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam 312 Posted October 2, 2017 Well that surprised me completely, a huge well done to Wolves for that. They may be a little disappointed in the end to only have a 4 point lead but I'm sure before the meeting started that wouldnt have even dreamt of that!

Perton Wolf 396 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Important for Wolves to think about Wednesday as a normal meeting. Don't think about the aggregate as it will obviously be close early but to think that if you win on the night, that's all that matters as we win overall.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Game over imo Doyle will not want to mix it can only see a wolves win at home But who honestly thought wolves would have won tonight Nobody. Doyle riding for himself, not his teams. Wants to be WC and who can blame him? He won't take risks. Rosco talking the talk that it isn't over. But you can hear the disappointment in his voice. As a neutral(yes really I am) it would be great fun for Swindon to come back and give Wolves fans a big squeaky bum. Those who say that was a choke, don't know speedway well enough and are doing wolves a huge disservice, they were excellentIt was the biggest choke in playoff history. Swindon were virtually full strength at home. They should never have given that weak Wolves lineup a sniff. Edited October 2, 2017 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealFiend 1,109 Posted October 2, 2017 Well done Wolves. More of the same later this week please. Not going to go overboard on here because there is a 2nd leg to go yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfcrazy 0 Posted October 2, 2017 I know that Speedway can throw up surprises but was not expecting that. Well done boys. It's hard to gauge whether that was purely a fired up Wolves, an ill-prepared' complacent Swindon or the perfect balance of the two... Depending on your perspective of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted October 2, 2017 43 47 job completely done. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect definition of a choke. The Swindon management and riders saw that Lindgren and Thorsell were missing, and like 99% of us on here and other social media, thought it would be a stroll in the park. Swindon believed all they had to do was turn up. Terrible, terrible complacency. However, Wolves riders were fired up to furnace temperatures and just blew a pathetic Swindon effort away. Well done to them. When Poole lost the league in 2010 we had gone off the boil just before the playoffs. Watching Swindon fail to impress last week, I thought the same. I thought Wolves would be champs until they lost their top two. But the rest are clearly fired up and I don't see Swindon getting close at Monmore. If there was a night to justify one big league it was tonight as Wolves 6 double uppers beat Swindon's team. Well done Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted October 2, 2017 Peter Adams said Jacob T needs an operation on his back but Freddie doesn't. He needs a neck brace. Both have broken vertebra in there back. Adams said both were serious injuries that will take months not weeks to repair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
