  1. It would seem so but Rory 6.22 has a lower average than Josh 6.4
  2. Josh, which seems a bit strange when you look at their riding ability but I assume the averages have been checked out and agreed. Josh is a good rider but Rory is way better, especially at Swindon.
  3. Not too cold as the wind speed is dropping, but if the forecasts stay as they are now, unfortunately it could be rained off, the same as the morning one at Poole. Thurs am. Forecast changed and weather now looks better.
  4. Last season Rosco had a few very good young live artists singing before the meeting and I think during the interval as well, they seemed to go down well, but it was in the summer when it was not freezing like it was last week.
  5. Could anyone who went to the meeting tell me are they still using Black and White as a TR helmet colour and was it easy to distinguish from Yellow and Black.
  6. Nick Morris has been looking very good in his meetings so far this season and he rides again for Poole tonight at Somerset before travelling up to Glasgow on Sunday. Will follow updates as you are a long way from Swindon.
  7. At Swindon last night they had 25 races, it started about 7.45, may have been a bit earlier, and was finished by 9.30. There was a couple of crashes and gate restarts but the riders were at the gate waiting to come out as soon as the bikes were wheeled off the track from the previous heats, also the track was graded every 5 heats, so it can be done.
  8. Quite an enjoyable meeting with some very close racing, but I wish they would not start speedway till about May as it was B cold.
  9. Practice went well, apart from the wind and cold. The riders looked ok especially Nick and the two reserves, thurs against riders will give a better indication of how they are going. It was good to meet up with Chalkie before the practice started and what I was told was that the figure of 2500 is the number that can be seated with many more standing around the track as now.
  10. Visit to the pub arranged to watch it at 5pm as there is an hour of speedway related progs before the meeting.
  11. Three more riders added, Hans Andersen, Chris Harris and Brady Kurtz Full line up http://www.swindonlinksport.com/2015/03/24/two-names-added-for-kilby-meeting/
  12. Press and Practice today, stadium open at 4.30 for practice followed by meeting the riders at 6.30 in one of the bars.
  13. One of the riders hung out to dry ? The rider hopes it will shrink to fit before the first meeting. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAstkNDW4AA7wh1.jpg
  14. Rosco has stated that Blunsdon will be able to hold bigger meetings, so it seems the adver has probably got it wrong again. Should be able to confirm this on tues evening. There is one big meeting they are hoping to have in 2016.
  15. There will be a series of races as the British Youth race for the Malc Holloway Memorial Trophy, This should be good if it is the same riders that rode at the Ben Fund Meeting. Also it is great that Malc is remembered in this meeting.
  16. Some of the activities will take place under or inside the main stand.
  17. Sue tried to pm you with possible contact for heat info, but am getting message that you cannot receive pms. Andy Warren from Swindon LinkSport is at Leicester and usually sends tweets of heat results if this is of any help. His tag is @AndyWarren.
  18. He could pop back home for 12 weeks and get a job as a product tester.
  19. Should be one of the questions to Rosco next tues evening.
  20. More information on the new stadium, just hope the adver has got it wrong about the spectator number of 2500 wrong. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/11871105.New___5m_home_on_cards_for_Swindon_Robins_Speedway_team/ ER if you look carefully at the plan it shows a mark behind the back straight stand, this is for the back straight bog from the present stadium.
  21. Be interesting when Coventry are on sky, will have to fit him out with a helmet mike for the commentary.
  22. They have already rung up the museum to borrow a few to run round the track as they lay it.
