A ORLOV 8,628 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Revised date for the Play Off semi final after all the rain offs. Swindon has now reverted to the second leg if next mondays meeting at Wolves goes ahead. With the second leg we will know what score from the first leg we have to beat.

auntie doris 2,342 Posted September 29, 2019 Would have preferred the away leg first but it is what it is. Have to hit em hard from start. At home Swindon seem to start well, fade a bit in the middle, then finish strongly. Need big home lead by at least 10. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) A ten plus win if the track is better than the Belle Vue meeting ?. i fancy a 12 point home win.Looking at this Wolves side it does not scare me with Howarth, Becker, Morris, Thorsell all for me unstrustworthy.

stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 29, 2019 All will depend on the weather and how the track is prepared accordingly. Given all things equal I fancy a 6 point home win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knows but the dogs didn't have their top 2..Freddie and Thorsell. It was a shock home defeat. Don't know why Robins were home first? Edit..twas bcoz of the dog racing. The Robins fans were very downbeat after that first leg defeat. Edited September 29, 2019 by auntie doris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 30, 2019 Given a choice Wolves tend to choose the home leg first so it's not something they would have wanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted September 30, 2019 Absolute joke as Swindon wanted the away leg first & should’ve stuck to that. They didn’t change the Poole vs Ipswich meetings round when rain intervened. A massive advantage now for Wolves having the 2nd leg at home. Why wait until October every season to have the play offs as do Sweden & Poland wait till then. No they don’t. Hope the Robins win but with both sides having flakey riders at times I give Wolves strength at reserve the crucial difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn’t have the choice as Swindon finished above them so totally irrelevant anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with your sentiment but Monmore isn't available on Thursdays due to greyhound racing so very little choice unfortunately 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
