Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg • Wolverhampton v Swindon (9•10)

Recommended Posts

I’m not sure if this season will ever end! Wolves looking bad for today and, in the little league, Leicester looking bad for Saturday. All the Aussies still involved in the play offs will be itching to get back home for some sun. Will some slope off early?

It is raining in Wolverhampton this morning and it looks like we've had a fair amount over night.

Kasperzak was doing well at Belle Vue up until they sacked two riders to bring Crump in after that he lost all interest

don`t think he cared for Crump too much it was said at the time he got changed in his van.

Once again you malign a rider without worrying about the truth. KK had one bad meeting - the one away to Coventry when Crump returned. JC scored 15, KK, 2. 

He was “spoken to” after that and his home scores after that - up until JC got injured - were 11+2, 12 and 11. To me, that’s not exactly losing interest. 

And, if he changed in his van, he must have had a secret door from the changing rooms to the car park as he went in there in his day clothes, and came out in his race suit. 

I am biased of course because he exceeded my expectations and was one of the most professional riders I had to deal with.

Shame he wasn't spoken to when he was at Poole!

He was. Several times but sadly it didn’t work. He kept himself to himself, used a mechanic based, I think, in Peterborough despite being offered the use of Middlo’s workshop. 

I still like the guy but am sorry the way things went.

Wednesday clashes with Poole v Kings Lynn. A far more important fixture. Seriously what was likely to be a pretty dire crowd will now be down to probably the worst ever crowd in Poole’s history. Better to change to Thursday now. For the Poole meeting

Another rain off... Who would have thought, important speedway fixtures in the UK in October being rained off.

2nd leg is live on TV on the Thursday. It's a no win situation for the Poole management.

I'm sure he had at least one good season with Coventry and that included the time he put them first rather than attend the reception in Poland? Admittedly though he seemed to lack commitment sometimes and was probably not a rider you would want in the team the following year.

I’m sure he had good seasons for Cov, Aces, Poole and Lakeside. Didn’t stop them sacking him tho!
