It will be worth £10 to see some of the hopefully future riders.
I would not mind a NL team if we are going to have the gaps in the schedule in 2017 that we have had this year.
An expected win with a bit more fire than previous weeks, great scores from Jason, Josh and Nick and Justin seems to have got the bike gremlins sorted out. What is strange is that now Rohan had a mare of a meeting.
We have to try to get a point at either BV or Lakeside to see if we can be in the play offs.
It could be the same as the present track where the speedway track is lower than the dog track which allows for banking, the top of which is also below the level of the dog track, also the majority of scouring of the surface is where water comes off the dog track on to the speedway track because there is no drainage between the two.
Hopefully they will design it to have drainage between the dog track and the speedway track, and then good drainage on the inside of the speedway track, one can only hope that someone who knows what they are doing is involved with the design.
So Hans admission that his injury is not as bad as thought and that he will probably be able to ride has upset Matts thought to claim he cannot ride through injury and bring in a ringer for the play offs, ah what a shame.
Leicester visit this thursday and this is a must win meeting for Swindon if we want any hopes of getting to the play offs, otherwise this may well be our last home meeting this season, subject to what the Inter-league challenge on Sep 15th is.
The Robins need to up their game and if they all ride as they can we can get three points but with some of the riders being inconsistent anything could happen.

Should be an interesting meeting where many can see new riders they have not seen before, I wonder if Rosco is putting this on to look for talent for the future and also if we have to have another British NL rider in the team next year.
They seem in the past to have changed their mind, originally it was going to be the shape of Birmingham, now it seems to be of Cardiff, but agree they need to get it right the first time.
I hope it allows for fast racing with different racing lines.
Two new meetings have been added to the fixtures for August, but no details seem to be anywhere yet.
And no one of them is NOT a final farewell meeting
Sept 8th National League Select
Sept 15th Inter-League Challenge
Can see a few clubs wanting to use Rohan Tungate as a guest but If Swindon want him back next year they have to be careful his av does not rise too much, also we do not want him riding for a rival or get injured.
The way Swindon are riding and with away meetings at Lakeside and Belle Vue, unless we have changes in the pipeline or a rider injury I do not think we will get to the play offs unless Poole or Lakeside lose all their remaining meetings.
