Used to enjoy Wimbledon Hackney West Ham and New Cross...currently Coventry and Worky are good stadiums for viewing .

The car trip has turned into minibus trip now ...with about 10 family,friends , partners going , half don't even like speedway !!!

Roobins look good with 2 ex-Lynn riders

For me only Pedersen Crump Adams have the mental strength to win it

Bruv will be flying in from Oz for this one

My bruv in Adelaide was chatting to a few of the 2 coachloads of 72 British fans there . Spoke to Alan Molyneux..ex-racing partner of Ole Olsen . Hope Trav is o.k

Stomat i think the average for British matches is around 1500-2000 with Swindon Poole and Coventry getting over 2000, and Lakeside and Reading sometimes getting less than 1000 .

Always remember the team of '67...Dugard , Hedge , Luckhurst , Nygren etc., and Briggo easily winning either a British final or semi-final that year ?

Crump Pedersen Adams Andersen Jonsson

Hitchy was one of my favourites, a real battler....partner to the great Briggo in the late 60s . Heard he has ill health now . Pete Munday always seemed to score a maximum in the wet...last I heard he was living in his native Southampton area , in the motor trade , although i'm sure Rob Bamford will inform if incorrect . Keener still lives in Upper Minety , Killer in the Swindon area . Martin Ashby still has his motor cycle repair business in Marlborough . Barry Duke still lives in Penhill ,stilll attends the Abbey . Broady is a regular ,still lives locally has a building business . The great man Briggo attends the occasional meeting . Don't know about Pete Jackson though ? Great team and great characters...half were local lads who took great pride in wearing the Robin , and the last team to bring the title to Wiltshire 40 years ago .

Was chatting to Keener and Martin Ashby on the terraces at Blunsdon couple of months ago..both nice modest geezers .

Seems a poor quality line-up compared to last year ...but bruv will be getting the Swindon prog board out at Gillman to observe the 2 New ROObins McGowan and Batchelor . Cant see there being a 6000 capacity lock-out at Mildura this time without the 2 local superstars Adams and Crumpie . The Aussie fans are being short-changed . Lindgren must start favourite ..sure Screeny Holder Doyle Batchelor McGowan will be thereabouts .

gap year ? was part of the last Robins team to win league 40 years ago...the year i moved to Swindon...so missed it . Didn't realise he was dead .

brings back memories ...44 years ago as 7year old...Squibbo was GOD . Penniket was the number 2 .

Cant remember that match Norbold but I was at the last meeting at the Frying Pan ,was it August in that year ?
