Swindon 2015


Recommended Posts

New race format announced this morning. I'd have wanted to see the top reserves face heat leaders to be honest. No progression if they're not. http://www.swindonlinksport.com/2015/02/18/elite-league-race-format-announced/

 

I am afraid that, in itself, it does not add to my anticipation.

 

For Swindon to be contenders and retain a break even crowd -

 

1) Rosco needs to inspire at his very best.

2) Batch needs to up at least a point a match and be a real #1

3) AM must not drop more than half a point on his 'Poole part season' average

4) Wright and Rose's PL fixtures must be factored in intelligently

5) Meetings to start on time and big Ron's tractor intervals need to be cut

6) Modern music - Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Olly Murs, Ellie Goulding etc only the odd flashback to the last century

7) Tell Steptoe Fisher to stop saying up to Richard for the full and official ...result, line up and even ref's decision

8) If bikes stop find out why and tell us

9) Show some evidence that at least a few bricks are laid for the new stadium or is it a scam. Reading was!

10) Try much harder to promote the sport, the club

As from next week Swindon greyhounds are dropping Friday nights from the schedule http://www.racingpost.com/news/greyhounds/friday-evening-cards-dropped-at-swindon/1826657/top/ . An alternative race-night for the Robins possibly ??

Hardly likely to race on Fridays as this is the race-night for Somerset Rebels & they have assets on our team.

Just been up the the Stad De Lite el Blunsdon, it is looking ok. Airfence is in place on the deck and from what I could see the track itself looked ok. There may be a few changes for the riders though as the diggers are within a few feet of the pits and the housing is going up fast.

The diggers were clearing the bank immediately behind the pits on Thursday. I suspect it wont be long before the old away pits complex is demolished and the access route for the site pushed through behind the pits. Quite what the impact will be during meetings and during prep time we just don't know at the moment.
