Season In Tatters?

Looks like Swindon have fallen in a bucket of tits and come out sucking their thumb again!

Potentially season ending news with Moore and Adams hurt tonight.

Best wishes to both and to Trav who's a top bloke despite riding for Reading.

Seriously hope all is well with your guys Frigbo. Would be a travesty if you're guys didn't make the final.

some good news at least....


HOT-SHOT WATT TO REPLACE ADAMS IN PLAY-OFF S/F!


Swindon have quickly reached agreement for Davey Watt to guest in place of Leigh Adams in Monday's crucial Play-Off semi-final against Peterborough.

This follows the shoulder injury picked up by the Robins' skipper in Friday's curtailed Knock-Out Cup semi-final at Reading. In Adams' absence, the captain's armband will be taken over by Lee Richardson.

Swindon are still waiting on more news from Andrew Moore, who has a badly swolen knee following the heat eleven melee in the KOC tie at Smallmead Stadium.

Alun Rossiter said: 'Davey Watt is in the form of his life and that was shown by his 20-point haul at Coventry last Thursday. I have no worries whatsoever that he will do a great job for us. He knows how important Monday's meeting is and that we are looking to try and win our first Championship in forty years. Davey is up for it, make no mistake about that.

'I would like to thank Eastbourne promoter Bob Brimson for agreeing for us to use Davey, he knows how important the Play-Off semi-final is to us and was pleased to help.'

REVISED TEAMS FOR MONDAY 17 SEPTEMBER, Parade 7.20 p.m.; Tapes-up 7.30 p.m.

No bloody justice is there.....real good luck to Swindon for Monday.

No disrespect to Davey, who is having a marvellous season, but pity the other Eastie heatleader wasn't injured, to replace Leigh.

Moore will ride on Monday, but Hefenbrock won't after he spent Saturday night in hospital after getting tangled up with the starting gate in a meeting in his German homeland. Not a great week for Heffers.

PB are using their number 8 - Ulrich Ostergaard.

Does that mean, do you think, that Heffers managed to find his passport?? I hope so.

I'm only hazarding a guess here, but I imagine he would have reported the theft to the police who would have arranged for him to get back to his home country. It may, however, be more difficult for him to get back out again without getting a replacement. I think if he'd found it we would have heard.

Bet he wishes he hadn't found it now, though.

Leigh's announcement, from www.swindon-speedway.co.uk

'Following my crash at Reading, I would like to let everyone know that I am now on the mend and I hope to be fit for the Slovenian Grand Prix in a week’s time. It will be tough, but that is definitely the goal. I suffered a dislocated shoulder, as well as extensive abrasions and bruising in the crash.

'I would like to thank everyone for their 'phone calls and texts and I truly appreciate your concern. Due to my current standing in the Grand Prix series and also the Play-Off situations for Swindon, Leszno and Avesta, it goes without saying that I will do everything to be back as soon as possible.

'I have been very fortunate throughout my career with injuries, so I have to take this latest obstacle in my stride.

'Again,
'Thanks for your concern,
Leigh.'

Fingers crossed for tonight, I know the Robins can do it.
