They just done it because was a joke of a meeting almost like a friendly ..as I said no one cares about the ko cup ..the crowd itself was one of the lowest I have seen at Swindon for many a year .

Anzum 250 Posted September 10, 2018 Definitely the best meeting of the season racing wise. Can't believe Tobi wasn't Robins rider of the night. Perhaps it was decided before heat 15. Very honest interview by Nick saying he has lost a bit of confidence in the track. Not surprising considering the number of crashes he has had at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you see Zagar Racing or Reading Racer ,he said the crowd was better than average! Or does this mean he may not have attended. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just going purely from the updates site I expected Toft to replace Riss. When you have a reserve that looks to be on fire why not use him when you can.I'm sure Riss wasn't 15m quicker than Toft at any point in the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) An awful crowd i can't ever remember a crowd as low as that in all my time and how many of those had the rain off discount tickets.The Belle Vue meeting is worrying surely they will run that meeting at a huge loss and common sense should prevail just give Belle Vue the points and postpone.The meeting last night was half decent after some of the poor racing we have endured this year the Morris pass of Lambert superb and heat 15.But looking at last night King,s Lynn are a very strong side some of there team had off nights yet they still hung in there and stayed strong.The second leg looks a huge task for the Robins but they have a squeak but i think the Stars will be to strong in the end good luck to them in the playoffs.

g13webb 4,254 Posted September 11, 2018 Dale is normally on the case and don't usually miss opportunities to strengthen his hand. With MPT going so well and some of the others struggling, I too had pencilled in changes that didn't happen. Which leads me to believe MPT had problems with himself or his machinery that restricted him from further rides. But no doubt the truth will come out.... I was some-what disappointed to finish up losing by 6 after leading with 3 to go. but still feel confident of progressing through to the final. Lamberts scores are so important for Lynn, and this showed last night. Cant remember the last time him have 5 rides and not winning a race. Jorgensen and Simon were also off the pace, but then again I suppose everybody has an off night... sometimes.... I had thought this 1st leg was winnable, but hats off to the Robins who fought back brilliantly..... It sure makes the second leg more interesting....

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted September 11, 2018 It was great to see Puk getting there with his form he rode some great lines and scored heavily.With Robert only scoring 5 with no race wins to score 42 pts was a great effort shows that Lynn have a really solid side.
