  1. Like I said I believe you are putting far too much emphasis on the Swindon result at Poole. Yes the Swindon riders always go well at our place and deserved their win but one team was completely disinterested due to conditions. Swindon gated and it was race over. I don’t believe Swindon will win the league if they keep the two current reserves. Neither are good enough in the top flight. It’s an opinion, nothing more. If Swindon get in a reserve who can score then that situation might change.
  2. Think you are reading far too much in the Poole v Swindon meeting. And don’t forget they had guest reserves for that one who score 5 more than Swindon’s own reserves would have scored.
  3. Don’t see it. We drew with them at Blunsdon, and they were easily beaten at Ipswich, a team most have written off. Unless Swindon get in a good reserve they won’t be champions. They might have a good top 5, but how often will they all click together? What will happen when they go to Monmore and Lampart goes completely AWOL?
  4. Hopefully we can get it with subtitles.
  5. A blip due to the track. Last year we were poor at home early in the season but look what happened there. Poole will be there come playoffs. Happy to have a £100 on it with anyone.
  6. A decent meeting but the result was never in doubt. Robert Lambert completely went awol. 
  7. So have Poole. A win, a draw and a 2 point defeat. Better record than anyone else.
  8. Agree. Swindon’s top 5 is strong but they all need to click all the time, otherwise it’s a struggle. Poole proved that with the draw at Blunsdon and looking the better team all night. Swindon’s reserves were completely tailed off against Covatti and Jakobsen. Last night it was the same at Ipswich and Swindon’s reserves again failed to beat an opponent, other than what was gifted. The Robins will struggle without changes and won’t win the league with this lineup.
  9. 8 points from your reserves? No chance. Swindon’s problems were laid bare last night. Ipswich don’t have anywhere near the same top end strength but we’re never troubled. Reserves win meetings as Allen proved last night.
  10. That would be the logical answer but all turnstiles are open at Poole and have queues. There would need to be a separate entry gate and there isn’t one!
  11. And yet Poole keep winning title after title after title. Go figure.
  12. Riders didn’t want the track watered once racing had started. Riders should realise fans pay their wages so fans come first. Watering with bowsers happens every few heats in Poland. Riders don’t seem to have hissy fits over there about it. Promotion should tell the riders bowser will go out every 4 heats so get used it it.
  13. Ok. New to twitter. Go to my twitter @steveshovlar Not sure how to post a link from twitter.

  15. Swindon have a good top three who when riding well are hard to beat. Yet last night at Swindon Poole looked a far better 1-7 than Swindon, who managed to grab a draw at the death. No way on God’s earth should Jakobsen be sacrificed. Today means nothing. It wasn’t league. And I will bet anyone £100 we will be in the playoffs. So please, no headless chicken posts over the team.
