No one should ever say it’s a foregone conclusion. Both teams are there on merit and we saw on Wednesday what the weather can do to a meeting. Mrs Spud and I are coming over for both matches and looking forward to meeting up with friends and seeing some ( hopefully) good racing. 

 

Now ...... can anyone sort out some sunshine please ?

I’ve never watched from the back straight, ( always been in or close to the pits.) I think that could be on the cards for Monday.

Swindon should have the class and quality to win this on aggregate. If we don’t it would be a massive choke (unless injuries play a part).

That does mean the Witches have zero pressure on them at all though, so can just ride freely and see what happens. They have a few battlers that can score anything between 2 or 12 from night to night, so it just depends on whether the stars align for them. The playoffs can bring the best out of riders like King and Harris, especially if the track is to their liking. Im expecting another heavy, grippy track on Monday, that they’ll love, and Swindon will need to be mentally prepared for.

If Ippo can get themselves an 8 point lead to take back to Blunsdon, it’ll be squeaky bum time for Swindon on Thursday. I’m kind of hoping that there is a bit of jeopardy for Thursday, as the match against Wolves had none of that play-off spark at all.

As I am Wolves fans I am now a neutral for the final. Against us it was a landside victory, but the weather allied to us being crap added to the result. I expect Swindon to win on aggregate but Ipswich will not be a pushover.  The first leg result is crucial, Ipswich have to get a lead. And Iversen has to match, or get close to Doyle's score.

But...but....!

Come on, I know it's been a while since I have seen a bloke with no trousers on and it is unlikely to happen again in my lifetime but I really don't want to be scared (or scarred) off for life just in case!
