Referee was a complete judas and spoiled what was a titanic battle by Swindon after loosing Zagar and Hurry and down to just 4 riders. I said last week that rider replacement for Pavlic will bite us in the bum eventually and so was proved right tonight. Take nothing away from Lakeside who rode very well and chose a superb guest in Jason Lyons. But against just 4 fit riders they should have trounced us especially as they had the referee on their side. Well done Ipswich they done us a huge favour beating Wolves tonight. Just hope Matej is ok after his horrific crash.

Sadly I missed the meet last night, but when my neighbour text me to say we went down, I couldn't believe it.Spoke to him late last night, hear all about the dodgy ref, accidents etc.Bottom line is as 'mikek' says Pavlic's caused this situation and although Ipswitch duffed up Wolves a their gaff, it's an away loss to the Wolves and they look invincible at home.
