stevebrum 6,820 Posted July 18, 2019 It’s one of those times when the opposition really needs to smell blood. Losing Adam to RR and with Tobi only just coming back should signal a chance of an away win although our record at Blunsdon isn’t great. You have to feel for the Robins who seem to have had no luck all season. However I expect Wolves now to be favourites to win tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntie doris 2,339 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) The Robins could be stronger with R/R. Can remember Wolves winning the Grand Final 1st. Leg in 2017, and then years ago when Woffy scored 7. Apart from that not much. Total contrast from the Monmore track. Morra should go well. Will go 50-40.Would have liked to have seen French Dave in. Best wishes to Adam.

He left Swindon because of the track, he's not going to jump out of the frying pan and straight in to a uncontrollable bush fire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He rode for us in the play off final, I am not sure it wasn't bumpy then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure it was the track as his scores in Poland have also dropped. Hopefully he can get back to the riding and scoring he is capable of but not tonight.

Grachan 7,314 Posted July 18, 2019 Radio coverage here. Not great. Lots of periods of silence or just background noise, but keeps you up to date. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/motorsport/48958914?fbclid=IwAR3hqs-9nLFYoEViD3AXBtYAhobq4gMSeg6luZa8qKXHPRWTun7ootsR26c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedy swindon pete 509 Posted July 18, 2019 The management need to start fining riders who get excluded for moving at the start twice. Can barely remember a meeting at home where we haven’t had a rider excluded for moving at the tapes or touching them. the most brain dead way of gifting the oppo points and getting them back in the meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted July 18, 2019 We let teams back in every week. Stupid from Tobi. Predictable tho. Very impressed with Becker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
