FAST GATER 853 Posted August 30, 2016 He didn't have any last week either,a sponsorship opportunity possibly? No Wolves race suit either ,was a little surprised by Tai and Freddie in the second match coming to grief as they did think in both cases it looked like bike set up for the change in track conditions. Thought PK did a fine job, not going to bang bars with Doyle ( in reality no one did class of his own ) but paid17 from 8 starts and in heat 11 did the business with Freddie. I think Bomber was a great guest and paid 25 from 10 starts what wonderful example to the younger riders turns up rolls his sleeves up and gets on with it ,had a lot of stick latterly for silencer issues well he silenced his critics last night .He may never be world champ but he will leave a huge hole in the EL and British s/way when he retires that's for sure ,some how don't think he will last as long as PK sadly !!!

g13webb 4,254 Posted August 30, 2016 Ref 100% correct with his Heat 15 decision. Probably Probably correct to the rules , but realistically he was wrong to hold everyone back just to prove a point. He made the decision for all the wrong reasons, and extended the meeting more than Tungate had done. The meeting was Won, there was nothing at stake, been a long night, the track was crap at this stage, all the people wanted to do was go home, the television was over running... and the Ref decides to make appoint.......... PATHETIC.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted August 30, 2016 Flint (the ref) made a rod for his own back from heat 1 of the KL match. Failed to enforce start line discipline on all 3 teams and as a consequence as the night wore on riders realised this and chanced their arm more and more. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruckerroo 792 Posted August 30, 2016 Tonights 2 meetings prove the colossal imput bomber puts into racing in english speedway, god loves a trier, 100% every time good or bad. I tip my hat off to you, bomber 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Well done to Max "roller" Clegg & a poor night for the ref who has missed more rollers than the local decorators. Why would Bomber go on holiday to Cornwall when he lives there anyway?. Because he lives in Coventry!No he doesn't He lives in the village of Binley Woods, which is in Warwickshire, and comes under Rugby Borough The horrid city of Coventry is in the West Midlands, and is soon to be amalgamated with lovely Birmingham Edited August 30, 2016 by Midland Red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,197 Posted August 30, 2016 Why did Wolves run a double header and why do Belle Vue have five home matches in 16 days then 1 in the following three weeks? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 30, 2016 The meeting started well for Swindon and was ok up till about heat 10 after which our weaknesses were shown up. I hope Rosco made some changes at the weekend as we have a couple of riders that need changing. Justin was as bad again, despite stating he had sorted out his equipment and Nick and Josh did not do themselves any favours. Our two reserves were well beaten, if we continue like that we will not get to the play offs and will get well beaten in them if we do. What did make me laugh was Jasons comments when interviewed being asked about Roscos team talk, Oh we do not take any notice of what he says, said Jason. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabbsjoe 149 Posted August 30, 2016 Good results for Wolves last night. Disappointed with Freddie lately, is it a coincidence that his form drops off similar to last years when he's confirmed in the GPs for the rest of the season. Bomber was a great guest as usual. Ref was shocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FAST GATER 853 Posted August 30, 2016 Thought Chris and Kelvin worked well together last night and the girl in the pits Laura ,maybe a bit of a shake up in the presentation team perhaps ,I really do think that Kelvin has developed into a first class presenter and I am sure his excitememt at times is at the behest of his employers.

erniew 163 Posted August 30, 2016 Can anyone answer how Bomber can guest twice on the same day for the same team on their home track? or have they scrapped the 7 day rule? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted August 30, 2016 Can anyone answer how Bomber can guest twice on the same day for the same team on their home track? or have they scrapped the 7 day rule? Double header is counted as one meeting for guests. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
