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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 491 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntie doris 2,342 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,426 Posted March 1, 2023 Wonder how many are put off with no paying at the gate?, is george english in charge of programme sales! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 9,246 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.
