The details for this meeting can be found on the half page ad inside the back cover of this week's Speedway Star. But, as I'm the one who has artworked the programme, I can tell you the team line ups as they have gone to print: SWINDON SKIP SPROCKETS: 1. Cory Gathercole 2. Charlie Saunders 3. Richard Sweetman 4. Danny Warwick Res: Ben Reid OXFORD TFSuccess.com CHEETAHS: 1. James Cockle 2. Kyle Hughes 3. Jamie Courtney 4. Lee Smart Res: Brendan Johnson LEICESTER LIONS: 1. Sergei Darkin 2. Simon Lambert 3. Luke Priest 4. Adam Lowe Res: Mark Thompson BRISTOL BULLDOGS: 1. Semen Vlasov 2. Mark Burrows 3. Mark Simmonds 4. Gareth Isherwood Res: Jordan Tyrer Start time is indeed 6pm. Fingers crossed for some decent weather. Hopefully the meeting attract fans as 3 presently 'homeless' clubs will be in action, and for Swindon fans it's the last meeting of the season at the Abbey Stadium. It's a long winter so please come down and support the meeting! It will be raced over the traditional 16 heat format plus two extra heats. One for the reserves, which guarantees them a ride, and a final 'nominated' race. Special guests have been invited such as Phil Crump and Les Collins, and I know that Norman Hunter (former Robin and Lions rider) is going to climb back on a bike for a few laps. And like Nick Andrews has rightly said, there are more than just 'raw juniors' on show so we should see some good racing. Sunday is a case of raising awareness for the 'homeless' clubs and the meeting is being staged by Andy Hewlett (Bristol) and David Hemsley of the Beaumont Sports Complex Ltd (the consortium behind the proposed new site up here in Leicester) so it'd be great if they had a decent turn out as they've put a hell of a lot of work and money into staging the event.
