Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 16, 2019 I'm sure at Swindon the inside will be the quickest way round again, so maybe a bit of savy is needed if miss the start or make the start. Very unlikely I know, but maybe just maybe someone may give it a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that too. JD did well to ignore him. Just as well it wasn't Claus on the receiving end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't shove him he put his hands out to gesture him to slow/ dismount (he had already ignored a similar gesture at the track gate Riding a bike into the pits is not allowed - he should be warned and or fined Of course his defence could be his ankle hurt so much he couldn't walk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least we made it to the final .......imagine Poole getting there and it being the most one sided match for a play off final ever........... The pathetic ramblings of Shovlar are a joy to behold............never seen such a bitter and trolling poster on here in my life.......this is the man that said Swindon were to top heavy lol.........you can write what he knows about speedway on the back of a stamp The final should be over now but lets hope we can keep the score respectable............ What a great manager Rosco is.....maybe the Poole bosses need to look at him and try and get him. What a great season we have had though ...........beating and humiliating the title favourites in the semi final the boys can be proud............ Hope Poole drop down and we can convince Klindt and Josh to come to us I think you will find Klindt and josh still like to win trophys, don't think they will be going to Ipswich 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 956 Posted October 16, 2019 I don’t mind fans of other teams commenting on other matches but leave your own teams out of it, no club is bigger than the sport itself and that includes Poole, I am sure if my own team had not closed and had been in the Elite League, we might have been up there challenging but we were not, it’s dead and history, just move on, for most of you, your teams will have another crack at it next season, mine won’t, we might be lucky if we see the Hammers riding in some meaningless NL select event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Poole were in the final Swindon would win but it would be far than one sided imo. Comedy gold at its finest. 7 hours ago, Odds On said: Must of been one of the biggest crowds at Ipswich for many a season? That’s Play Off speedway for you. Always brings out the crowds. Long live the Play Offs. just catching up on last nights match. Expected more from the Witches. Yet again track conditions proving pivotal when weather this time of year proves havoc to home track advantage. Time to get the Play Offs sorted mid September. We need the tracks and racing to be at there best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Baldy states it could hold a lot lot more. The main back straight stand holds 3500 alone - how many spaces do you see? There is then the concrete terracing that was 10 deep right round bends 1 and 2 as well as along the back straight below the stand and not forgetting the home straight stand Now you've got me thinking I'm edging towards 4500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair it is a sizeable stadium and i was expecting someone to come back with c12k for the capacity, perhaps I was deceived but I just didn't think it was 1/3 full, especially as a third of the stadium wasn't in use. I'm not convinced that stand hold 3500, is that definite? i can see it being 3500 seats across the 2 large stands but 1 wasn't in use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
