Steve0 5,517 Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Second leg of the semi finals at Blunsdon and the Robins hold a 2 point advantage. Will it be enough? Only time will tell but I think Swindon should progress to the final. Considering the poor season that Poole have had by their standards and starting off as favourites at the start of the season. Some will say that they were lucky to make the play offs but now that they are there, they will be determined for this to not be their last meeting of the season. Apparently some Poole fans are ready to laugh if they do beat Swindon and that the average speedway fan would like Poole to win - I don't think so!

Steve0 5,517 Posted September 17, 2017 Thats your opinion It is my opinion - that's what you do in a discussion forum but you choose to add nothing and add a clown emoji - that's trolling! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65Sarge 148 Posted September 17, 2017 Surely the whole point of a forum is so people can express an opinion and court others' opinions for discussion. It seem on these forums lately it's a case of Poole fans criticise everything others say and non Poole fans criticise everything Poole fans say, that's no how it should work. Personally I find much of what Shovlar et al say as very amusing, but far too many turn it in to personal vitriol, and there is one who has so many obvious aliases, it's boring and ruins the forum for most. Personally, I think the Robins should have enough in the tank to win this, but at the same time, no place for complacency as it is clearly far from over and Poole remain dangerous. Let's hope this thread stays open for opinion and friendly debate rather than falls into the pit of the trolls BS. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted September 17, 2017 It should be an exciting night with the scores close. I think Swindon will have too much for Poole, no tac ride has certainly made it an interesting situation, the best side over the two legs goes through. That's how it should be! Let's hope that the racing flows between both semi's & both have big crowds bc at the end of the day that's what the riders, sponsors & TV companies all want!

Roll on the 25th Looking forward to this. Should be a big crowd for this one at £10 a pop, which unfortunately didn't happen for the first leg. Be great to see a couple of coach loads up from Poole to take advantage of the cheap entry fee, which will be roughly double the first leg crowd. In addition to this Gala Bingo is just down the road so the 'silver threads' can get in a bit of double bubble with a bingo/speedway combo. With a bit of luck, BWD's hand has improved sufficiently to take his place, as KN didn't score nearly enough to make the difference everyone thought. Very confident that those Poole fans looking to catch the last flight to Rome on the 25th should be able to do so round about heat 10... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted September 17, 2017 Easy Swindon win. Meeting over by heat 10 or 11 so the Poole boys can make a quick getaway and beat the traffic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
