Very poor decision by the referee .strange that rosco thought it was right .just think if it went against rosco he would have lost his rag 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,757 Posted May 7, 2019 I quite like the drone in short bursts but not for too long and not out of the start, certainly thought it added to the coverage though and could be really good with a bit of fine tuning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted May 7, 2019 Was thinking of coming down Thursday ,I've not watched last night's meeting but doesn't sound good although comments about the first two meetings was positive . Regarding lay downs when they where brought in were uprights banned or did riders have the choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really is about time that the TV matches are refereed by the best referees, what made it worse was I thought I saw Tony Steele in the pits who I assumed was the second SCB official, if it was he should have been on the button.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 7, 2019 Just caught up with the meeting as spent most of yesterday in anand e after breaking my collarbone Think last night’s result has shown Swindon to be not as strong as some think. Peterborough would have won that had Tungate been a pro and the ref rerun heat 5. Panthers threw quite a few points away. Didn’t think it was a bad meeting. Just average and the track is better than the old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just average and the track is better than the old one. You could also say that if Ellis and Musielak had been more "pro" and not moved at the starts that Swindon might have picked up an extra 4 points and won by 10.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 7, 2019 Possibly. But Tungate were mechanical gremlins which should have been avoided and Ellis and Musiliak were actual racing and part of the sport. Swindons reserves are not really scoring, though the effort is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
