  1. Well done Roobins, 10 day break then 4 meetings in 5 days, 3 away, could decide play-off potential. What's up with kid Morra, was crowd bigger than Monday?
  2. Very gloomy in sn25...can't make it tonight but good luck to the roobins...45-45. Update...now light rain
  3. Worky used to get good crowds when i watched them 11-12 years ago, around 1200, but they are lower now. Cant see many pl clubs getting over 1000 now, although most el clubs do even swindon, whose crowds have almost halved from 10 years ago. I heard the worky crowds are not good now, you wonder how some pl clubs survive, when their average gates are nearly half of the elite clubs
  4. As you say good when there are a few thousand there, the riders don't have the commitment to their club's now, half-hearted waves or chatting amongst themselves to a couple of hundred fans that are left. Speed way should look at ice hockey to see how they connect, the windon Wildcats play in front of increasing crowds, good value for money and fan involvement as opposed to those motor cycling robins up on blunsdon hill.
  5. Windon now second...well done sedgy, need to start winning away if they are to join bv wolves poole in top 4 spots. Windon now second...well done sedgy, need to start winning away if they are to join bv wolves poole in top 4 spots.
  6. Bristol buses taking fans to blunsdon...second halves, talking to riders in pits, big crowds, atmosphere, hubbly bubbly pop, golden helmets, saturday night meetings, local riders, large league, different opponents weekly, world finals on bbc...
  7. Well done you rockin n rolling rampant red roobins...need to beat wolves on thursday for west midlands double..they will, hope its not as boring!
  8. Hopefully the usual cov defeat up on the hill...roobins by 12 plus. Looking very overcast in sn25.
  9. Great to hear the swindon robins and coventry bees get a mention on qos last night, and a few mentions on btsport with doyley winning gp. With new commercial manager and local participation in forces day they're making an effort to attract new fans new stadium or not.
  10. I've watched both elite and premier matches good and bad in both. I think sky should not show the football premiership and show football league games instead, I'm sure people would rather watch bar net, Accrington, Grimsby, hartlepoo, than the Arse, Chelsea, man ure, city
  11. Was this sandy lane, the former home of tooting and Mitcham f.c
  12. Was up at Highbury a few weeks ago, listed west and east stands now apartments, the pitch is a garden, play area. Did stadium tour of emirates with Charlie George, great character, plenty of highbury stories from the 70s
  13. Most people don't have sky sports so like swindon offer 10 quid admission and the crowds ain't that much lower for a televised meeting.
  14. Great win for swindons doyley...well done bomber, another superb g.p.
  15. Darcy Ward at swindon about 2/3 years ago
  16. Ive tried monster after watching greg now totally addicted to the stuff, cant walk past a store without buying some. Its relentless. When the arsenal won the double in 71 charlie george and co used to smoke and drink brandy and whisky in thr dressing room before and at half time!
  17. How much is the rent? With only around 1000 paying customers just aint viable. I noticed there was more rain in the rest of swindon compared to royal blunsdon What a sheet job
  18. Pe Perhaps they looked lìke a bunch of knobs
  19. And you had the yanks as well as the race-fixing scandal in the 80s. And you had the yanks as well as the race-fixing scandal in the 80s.
  20. Theres plenty of freeloaders at blunsdon, would doubt ex riders pay, most sit in the legends lounge.
  21. Same as hanock i drink this crap now and again, tropical is my fav flavour
  22. I heard ray was sniffing it and they withdrew their backing. Hanock promoting drink..good for him
  23. You can never discount a rosco side but at present if holder rides well away poole will win it with wolves belle vue and either lakes or roobins in play offs
