Went last week to the meeting against Peterborough. Tonight's should be a cracker between the top two! Title: Speedway Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 18:50:25 I watched the meeting at Poole on Sky last week. What an absolute cracker 8)

Title: Speedway Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:02:48 Quote from: "lebowski" tomas crynovski (sp?) is absolutely awesome. fantastic signing. Chrznowski is riding at reserve at the moment which means he can get 7 rides. However the new averages are out at the end of this month and his average is going to be too high for reserve and so will have to move into the main part of the team where he will only get 5 rides and we are likely to see less of the batterings we have been giving teams lately. Title: Speedway Post by: lebowski on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:05:16 ahh, wondered how that worked.
i cant get that site linked above to work - any news on tonight's meeting? Title: Speedway Post by: lebowski on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:09:33 also, i noticed that the robins have the old football badge on the shoulder of their leathers, don't tell me the club hasn't sorted this out?!

Whoever mentioned about not being beaten in a year at home may have to eat their words. http://speedwayupdates.proboards103.com/index.cgi?board=Swindon&action=display&thread=1182434542 Title: Speedway Post by: lebowski on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:13:08 TC having a stinker then.
the lebowski curse strikes again. Title: Speedway Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:14:28 Quote from: "lebowski" TC having a stinker then. the lebowski curse strikes again. Appears he is having serious problems with his bike tonight and I believe that he is ill as well so he's battling tonight, although the texter has said he has had 'more pull outs than the News Of The World' Title: Speedway Post by: lebowski on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:29:45 all on heat 15! adams and richardson v crump and pedersen.
Title: Speedway Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:31:45 Quote from: "lebowski" all on heat 15! adams and richardson v crump and pedersen. It was 45-45 at Poole so we need a 3-3 to take all 3 points from tonight! Title: Speedway Post by: lebowski on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:47:20 we won 47-46.
we are invincible! Title: Speedway Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:47:39 And a 3-3 it was so we win 47-46.
Title: Speedway Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 20:47:46 We look it at the moment :shock:
Title: Speedway Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 21:50:32 Brilliant evening, looks like i chose the right meet as my first one!
Title: Speedway Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 21:58:23 Quote from: "Ted" Brilliant evening, looks like i chose the right meet as my first one! You certainly did, best 2 teams in the league. Seems like our riders had engine problems all night and we were lucky to take all 3 points. Tomaz Chrzanowski is normally miles better and he had a poor night. Title: Speedway Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 22:43:07 I think it was heat 8, TC suffered engine failure 20 metres before the line, when on for 5-1!
Title: Speedway Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 23:44:32 Sadly, I still remember the days of Barry Briggs, Martin Ashby, Bob Kilby, "Wellie' Holloway and the like :oops:
Oh, and Jason Crump's father and grandfather were still racing when I used to go :oops: :oops: Title: Speedway Post by: Robinz on Friday, June 22, 2007, 06:11:22 Phil Crump was the complete professional athlete..shame he once rode for Bristol and Newport....
Great times....don't forget Geoff Boulchard and later on Rolf Granstad and obviously Jan Andersson. :) Title: Speedway Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, June 22, 2007, 16:40:53 My favourite was Steen Mastrup. Poor bloke had some horrific crashes and injuries. Seemed everytime he recovered and got good he crashed again!Also remember the following:
Jan Verner (Dirty bugger but not as good as his brother Vaclav) Milan Spinka - Better at ice speedway Steve Gresham - Former Bulldog - Raced buggies in the US before being pick inside! Geoff Bouchard was a battler. Last away from the tapes but always fought back. Martin Hewlett - Local lad, wored his way up from, mascot to junior to reserve to looking quite good. Watched him win his first second half final and collapse dead whilst being interviewed! Rolf Gramstad became good when he moved from Swindon. Involved in a nasty accident and was wheelchair bound ever since. Kai Niemi - Better for Eastbourne than Swindon Scott Autrey - Better for Exeter than Swindon Mike Ferreira - When his bike exhaust smelled sweet he flew. When it didn't he didn't! Steve Bastable - Poseur after shock British final win. Bjorn Andersson - Not as good as older brother Jan David Ashby - Not as good as older brother Martin Gordon Kennett - Well past sell by date when he joined. Rob Henry - Rubbish! And the list goes on..... NMH Title: Speedway Post by: OOH!
