Could be a big home win or a very narrow away win depending on who adapts to the new track best. Hope the Pirates manage to keep it close for the Friday morning return at 'gate and go' Wimborne Road. Should be good crowds at both fixtures. Two Swindon wins for me, especially with Poole missing Worrall on Good Friday (seems Leicester have priority).

Hopefully that won't be the case, after Monday's showing I'm feeling more confident than usual of an Easter double over you pesky Pirates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted April 17, 2019 Covatti had engine issues at Pboro. Think they have been fixed. He has 12/12 at the moment at Bham. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May well be, but with the new track it's a bit of a lottery, betting wise for me anyway. On last years track, i'd go 50-40. If all the Robins have had a skid, I would agree. If not, It might well be closer. Rooting for Swindon though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyderd 1,216 Posted April 18, 2019 1 question, is the new track just a reshape of the old trackin the old stadium, or a new track awaiting a new stadium to be constructed around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a reshaping of the old track, which the new stadium is planned to be built around. The old plans, to move the track and stadium to a new position, approximately 45 degrees from the current location was scrapped last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
