Would rather have seen a stronger side with Oxford using guests, but all but Sam are former Robins so I'm happy with that. Would like to have seen Musielak though. (Edit - Not sure Rowe is actually a former Robin, but was an asset so as good as.) Edited February 28, 2023 by Grachan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I think it will be a solid workout for the home side. I think the Swindon team edge it slightly but it should be very close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was expecting a slightly stronger Swindon side but as you say if 6 out of 7 are connected with Swindon then that is fair enough. Also I guess it is the reserves on each side that benefit out of the meeting the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Would have liked to have seen Musielak, Jensen, Bellego, but would be too one-sided. Will wait until near day to get tickets, weather dependent, as you can't pay on gate. Programme is cash only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 On very rough maths on averages if you have Doyle a 12, Ellis was roughly 8 last season in champ, batch was about 7, vissing and Rowe 5s, Smith a 3 and hagon 2. Roughly 42 so not far off the points limit Oxford built too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programme is cash only. Oops records stuck again! Actually worked to our advantage last year a meeting was cancelled so we were all automatically refunded and able to use that ticket to go to the rearranged fixture free of charge 1 hour ago, Diamonds85 said: So...

I think you will find not many as robins supporters have been starved of action since 2019 and there are still plenty out there. Oxford crowd very good last season with no pay at gate .

steve roberts Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Should be a great occasion...the resurrection of the "Budgies" for one match only and to relive one of the greatest rivalries in speedway between Oxford and Swindon going back to 1949.

I never pay for anything online so this would definitely dissuade me from going to a speedway meeting. It's just laziness on the part of speedway clubs, it's like when you're in Tesco and you discover that only one checkout is cash only. they do it so they don't have to spend time at the end of a shift counting up the coins and putting them into bags.

You can pay on the gate but it costs a bit more and is payable by card. I said last year that I was amazed that the stadium isn't card only for everything. You might like to use cash but lots of places are going card only. Banks are few and far between nowadays so banking the takings is a pain in the neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toady Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 A great meeting in prospect and all people can do is moan about having to buy tickets online even though you can pay on the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I want to purchase a ticket for two days hence when the weather might be awful? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
