Not a good night to be A Wolves fan. Hope M5 is cone free. Not too bad a journey back. Sadly "Buster C" Track Repairs active near M42 when four lanes reduced to one inside line only! Thumbs up to Swindon presenters tonight. Excellent banter and quality interviewing and comments. Great last heat from Batchelor...... just like the old days.... send the fans home Happy well the Home Fans at least!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm confused On a track that produced close racing but was difficult to pass on, heat 15 blew that comment out of the water. We did indeed go home happy after Batch's efforts in 15.

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted July 19, 2019 Again it was a reasonable meeting and that surprisingly has becoming a regular occurrence which is great.I thought it was a nice solid home performance with everyone chipping in with points.Chuffed with Tobi i was surprised how sharp he looked Batch/ Doyley/ Rasser were all terrific and were great value.Another plus for me is how good Ellis / Batch look as a pairing they seem to have a great understanding.Wolves i have to say were disappointing the two bright spots were Becker and Douglas both look like they can have a bright future in this league.

Thought it was a bit dry and slick last night Sid. Made passing tough. Probably as a result of the over watering last week which caused the delay! Becker was very impressive I thought. Rarely seen a newcomer look as good as that so quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the racing Dog was frustrating at times close racing but some of the riders could not quite get in a blow and pass.Yes Becker looked impressive reminded me of Hancock/ Correy the best newcomer i ever saw at the Abbey was Toni Kasper.

Roman Jankowski with a 21 point maximum from reserve for Hackney was impressive or Dennis Sigalos getting an 18 point maximum from reserve for Hull take some beating on debuts at The Abbey in the 80’s.

marko 955 Posted July 19, 2019 I can’t fathom from afar what has happened to Nick and Jacob, only last season they started as number ones for their respective clubs. Nick I saw from his time at Lakeside and although he wasn’t as strong as I thought he would be was still miles better than his form suggests in 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t even Klindt do well on his first visit to the Abbey, about 14 points? Not as good as Pavlic’s 21 point maximum at Lakeside though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noggin 1,388 Posted July 19, 2019 Got the Pavlic max on dvd somewhere, must dig it out, as for Klindt going well now but was awful for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LesR 139 Posted July 19, 2019 I think Becker has a bright future in speedway to, but while he scored a few last night for Wolves, looking at speedway updates, he only beat Vissing and Perks from the Swindon. No doubt he will be even better next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
