auntie doris 2,342 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) No one has won at The Shabbey this year, so would be the performance of the season for Wolves to win this. Double figures from Muesli at Wolves again, Wolves should have kept him. Good all round performance, and special mention to Captain Doyley, Adam, Vissing, Tobi. Been a great season with crowds increasing and much better racing. Lee Kilby deserves a mention. Onwards and upwards.

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted October 9, 2019 16 minutes ago, stevebrum said: Track conditions made a huge difference. Wet tracks always favour the away side. I think it was a case of this meeting will start if at all possible. Adams said at about 7.40 something like "There will be racing" . The pressure was on, what with BT there, and time running out. When I saw the track staff brushing the water of the track with brooms, I though "no way". Fair play to the riders. Mr Becker showed some balls.. It was a shame because it disadvantaged Wolves. But all the riders came through it, and there is another 15 heats to go. I have no preference out of the 2 teams, as to who gets to the final, but think Wolves a due are bit of luck in the 2nd leg, or the same advantage the Robins got tonight, with the track not being as they are used to.

R87 476 Posted October 9, 2019 1 hour ago, ytsejam said: The only way this tie could possibly still be in the balance is IF the track tomorrow is in the same virtually unrideable state as tonight. Utter farce of a meeting tonight but what can they do when the TV are there and the play offs are in big trouble if the meeting was called off?!.....One day the powers that be, may realise that the play offs need to be earlier in the year to have more chance of not being utter embarrassing farces! I'll never understand why these promoters continue to play dangerous games by having gaps in the fixtures in the Summer before making a mad dash to cram them all into September and October when the weather starts to turn for the worse. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Well done to Swindon for adapting better to the awful conditions, particularly Musielak. Poles often go missing on damp, cold UK nights in Autumn when their domestic season is over but he was superb. Hats off to Luke Becker, made the meeting worth watching. Great attitude. Shame the conditions made it a farce, but it had to go ahead at some point. Edited October 9, 2019 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted October 9, 2019 From a Wolves perspective, a bitterly disappointing night. Nothing more to say other than congratulations and well done to the Robins ( we are not like Poole/Shovlar) . May the best team in the final win be it Robins or Witches. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted October 9, 2019 2 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Well what a load of rubbish that was. I was a complete neutral here, and didn’t care who won. But it was dire. Yes the rain caused mayhem and made the trickiest track even trickier than usual. But Wolves had the drive and enthusiasm of their manager Peter Adams, who’s passion was clearly absent. Clearly he has had his day. Well done Swindon. All very easy. Wolves had no fight whatsoever, other than young Becker and Schlein. If course you had no interest, you were already eliminated. If it's not Poole it's not speedway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
