nw42 2,048 Posted October 17, 2019 Just now, Steve Shovlar said: I find, even now, utterly amazing how many have had a go at what was, clearly, a humorous tongue in cheek post.( Ford digging holes, Swindon gating tarts) Actually I find it funny so many didn’t “get it”. You make that many nonsensical posts that they all blend into one load of absolute tripe. For the first time I'm actually quite happy to see the end of this season, the domestic tv coverage has been garbage this time around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 17, 2019 All over. Well done to Swindon. All very easy as expected. The worse playoff final on record, and by a margin, but certainly not Swindon’s fault, who have been favourites since mid season. Glad they got a big crowd. That’s what the playoffs do. Bring in the fans. If that sized crowd could be a weekly turnout the sport would be in good shape. Lets all hope we don’t get another final like that again though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spl77 337 Posted October 17, 2019 Oh dear Kind of expected Ipswich to get a hiding however the fact that some were so far of the pace was disgraceful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose they have next year to look forward to but this really is an unmitigated failure by six of the seven riders. Are you Shovlar's love child you seem to hate Ipswich as much as he does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich have managed to create history for the wrong reason. I do not hate Ipswich but dispise inept riders who do this for a living but fail miserably and frankly you look at Iversen who rode in Germany at the weekend on a poor track a scored double figures and yet is crap. Danny King talks a good talk but really cannot be any better than a second string in this league. Jake is the only rider who has anything to be proud of. Ipswich have done better in prior years but this has to be down as a piss poor performance and not something to be proud of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Yes! Absolutely! Ipswich had no fire or desire! Swindon would have still won but Poole would have given them a challenge, no doubt about it. Brady Jack, Josh and Nicolai all ride Swindon well. Something like 50-40, not 62-whatever. Edited October 17, 2019 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
