Grachan

Don't see much wrong in what Rosco is saying. He's criticising how the meeting was run, which is no different to what other people who were there have done. He's also having a go at the 3 lap race, and Swindon ultimately benefited from that. It was exciting on Updates though!!

Good point for Swindon in what seems to have been a bit of a classic. Shame we don't take a point away from the Aces too. Another max for Darcy!

Pity they didn't keep the old scoring system. It will take the edge off heat 15.

How can Cook now be allowed in? Surely it would have to be 3 riders only? Looks like a crazy meeting.

Nielsen is in for Zagar

Why can Belle Vue not use an r/r for Zagar? Is it because the crash was apparently his fault?

Hope they do. Looks like we are going to lose this at reserve though.

Thanks for that. Yes, we wouldn't want it to sound stupid, would we!

But the Knock-out Cup was the KOC, so surely it should be the POKOC, not the POKC.

By me, yes. Not by you though, according to your own posts. Maybe now we can suddenly see how stupid all the "cheating" posts that are normally sent in their direction actually are.

If not, I'm sure they'll ride under protest.

Can you explain why riders would suddenly be put on the FTR list just to benefit Swindon, and who would have approved that? Who decides the FTR availability anyway? And who decides their eligibility?

Ah right, that thing they do in Rugby. It's good, that.

Sorry, but what's the pokc? Not sure I've heard of that.

Thankfully the BSPA management committee all want Swindon to win the league. We're lucky there!!

I guess the same baggage goes with Peter Collins for letting his brother beat him in the 1982 World Final then?

I'm sure you do, as you're a Belle Vue supporter. Why does this make a difference to though?

No more ridiculous than being able to win most games in a Wimbledon Final but still losing.

Good to see something at last. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/13596627.Russell_says_Swindon_Robins_move_is_on_schedule/?ref=fbshr

The thing is, even if they had tried to stage this match the crowd would not have been good. I, for one, had already decided I wasn't going before it was called off. Surely this is better than just starting at the weather all day and wondering if speedway is going to be on or not. I gave that up as a bad job years ago.

Don't know where you are looking, but the Met Office shows it as raining all day non stop right through to midnight.

Yes. That's exactly what it allows.

I would say it's a good result for Swindon, but I suspect we'll get the same treatment next week, so I won't.

Probably because they didn't have a number one for most of that time.

Well maybe (although, knowing this forum I doubt it). But that's not to say that it wouldn't have happened, which is what you said originally.
