Rob B 1,245 Posted September 12, 2019 Although using R/R is wrong by the letter of the law, it’s a cup final and having to use a junior would have written the meeting off straight away. Belle Vue still badly weakened by using R/R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted September 12, 2019 What a joke that a rider can get a sick note whilst waiting for a plane. Lets hope that all the r/r points are taken off the final score. Mind you there’s some 0000000 for Swindon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted September 12, 2019 The awful away form continues. Can see Wolves doing a proper number on us in the 1st leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 12, 2019 Looks like the wet track caught out BV in the early heats. A Swindon rider won 7 of the first 8 races. But only won 1 of the last 7. The Robins 1-5 scored 38 of the 41 points, But only had 7 heat wins between their 24 rides. Think Swindon have got this though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,245 Posted September 12, 2019 Racing got a lot better in 2nd half of meeting, there was a deep outside line if you were brave enough and inside was working for dive bombs. Surprised we won by 8 in the end without Bjerre and Fricke was poor, one of his worst home meetings of the season wasn’t gating and looked slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough if so, but no one can moan when crowds then reflect this nonsense.. (Like they appear to do each week of the season).. I wonder if anyone in authority has actually ever given serious thought to running Speedway in the UK properly? You never know. It might be worth a go... As let's be honest, it looks like they have tried just about everything else.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
