I was so surprised with the track last night so unpredictable bumpy with no dirt on it Batch rode his nuts off in won race and then ended turning himself inside out on bend two.Swindon will have to raise there game 20 per cent to contend with Wolves over two legs they are capable fingers crossed. Hopefully mate. 35 years old and I've seen 2 trophys. 3 if u count 1993 but I was only 9 do dont remember that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been going 37 years and last night was the first time I've ever seen us win a trophy live!! Missed the away matches at Poole and Wolves when we won the league. Hopefully I'm on a roll going into the play offs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted September 20, 2019 Really can't fathom out why the track was that poor last night? It has been excellent lately but to see the likes of Doyle Batchelor Fricke etc struggle to pass was frustrating...yes great to win a cup but I'm more bothered about the lack of racing lines which I hope reappear for the semi final as relying on gating against Wolves could be our only chance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The art i suppose is recognising you have a problem with the track and addressing the problem.As SHOCKER says we need that track better than what is was last night to have any chance of beating Wolves we have racers in our team who need a good strip to ride on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntie doris 2,342 Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Must have been at least 2000 there..biggest crowd this season. Good to see attendances are up. Vue must have fancied their chances..2 up overall at interval..then the Robins ran riot. Great to hear the Tangerine Arena roar.

colin wood 249 Posted September 20, 2019 Not so good for the Aces,but the Colts going great .In the cup final and in the play offs so the future is looking good.The National League has been great value this year.Jordan Palin was quicker in the cup semi v Cradley than any rider in the Aces v Swindon match so these National league lads are fast round the NSS.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 20, 2019 12 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: Not a great meeting by recent standards, but it was a great night a healthy crowd and the place was buzzing.The track looked very slick and there were a few bumps here and there but the Robins found a way to win on aggregate in the end.Now we have one egg cup in the cupboard, the play/ offs await us one thing that did worry me a little was the Tobi/ Rasser partnership looking at there scores they looked solid but early on they looked vulnerable.Jensen although not at his best again battled hard and he is so exciting to watch capable of regular passes the crowd had to be between 1,6/900.???? how many do people think.? Looked a couple of thousand Sid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Steve but as a fan it seems like a disaster, making a Mickey Mouse cup final is no consolation. I disappointed and fed up. Missing out on top 4 is a serious disaster and will cost the club a lot of cash. The problem we have at BV is the management are weak and clueless, they have no drive and don’t seem to care, slow to react and change things when needed and they accept failure far too easily. There attitude is fans should think themselves lucky BV are running. That’s not good enough. They are too blame and should now be sacked and replaced. Take a leaf out of Poole Wolves Robins etc book!

Fair enough. I grant you it isn’t a KO Cup type final and it’s good to see the the Aces fans have much higher expectations these days given how bottom place was common place at Kirky. A facility like the NSS needs a team capable of challenging for honours too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palin and Gilks are two riders that i believe have great future's in the sport .Palin for me style wise is very impressive he comes across as a real nice down to earth lad he will be a future Ace in my opinion.
