Swindon Robins hopes of a bright start to the 2018 season were sidetracked by three postponements over the holiday weekend.

STILL fairly quiet at Blunsdon with little news about the new stadium. There are always rumours going on; a recent one being that the stadium will be built within the foot print off the existing stadium but with a shorter track.

It’s a quiet time of the year with most Premiership teams sorted for 2018 although King’s Lyn have not announced a headliner yet, whilst Belle Vue have so far only signed Craig Cook who with Tai Woffinden will be representing Britain in the Grand Prix series this year.

SWINDON'S world champion Jason Doyle now knows the full list of riders who will be trying to wrest the title from him in 2018.

JASON DOYLE and Nick Morris both missed out on the semi-final in the Premiership Riders’ Championship at Belle Vue on Saturday night.

SWINDON Robins won their first leg Knockout Cup semi-final against Belle Vue by 11 points but the return next Friday in Manchester will be tough as the league’s number one scorer Jason Doyle will be absent in Stockholm hoping to build on his 10-point lead in the world championship series.

SWINDON seemed to have one foot in the SGB Premiership final when taking a 10-point lead over Poole with two races remaining of the play-off semi-final first leg at Wimborne Road on Monday.

WHEN Swindon skipper Jason Doyle lined up for the final of the German GP in Teterow on Saturday he must have fancied his chances of repeating his success from last year's event – but it was not to be.

SWINDON Robins' 17-match winning run came to an end as the side went down 46-29 in a rain-shortened meeting at Rye House on Friday.

SGB Premiership Swindon Robins 52 Wolverhampton 40 SWINDON are confirmed as table-toppers in the 2017 SGB Premiership season with a convincing 52-40 win over the second-placed Wolverhampton side. But it was nearly a different tale as the Robins took their 17th successive victory, said Phil Rice.
