Swindon boss Alun Rossiter is warning his side about ex-Robins riding into town on Thursday!
The Abbey Stadium side open their home Premiership programme against Belle Vue Aces, last year’s Grand Final runners-up.
It has all the makings of an entertaining night of action especially as Justin Sedgmen and Steve Worrall are back – but this time in Aces colours.
Said Rossiter: “The two lads will be up for it and we have to make sure we are up for the challenge.
“Justin did a good job for us last season and he was really unlucky not to be back with us, but we all know it’s a numbers game and this has been more and more relevant during the winter with new averages.
“I’m pleased he got sorted out when Belle Vue called him into their side.
“I’m a big admirer of Stevie Worrall, he’s come on leaps and bounds the last couple of years since his season with Swindon.
“He was pushing for a World Cup spot with Great Britain last year, his fitness is incredible and he’s also improved further as a rider since we had him here at Swindon a couple of years ago.”
The Carpets 4 Less Robins hand a home debut to Bradley Wilson-Dean, Adam Ellis, David Bellego, Emil Grondal and Zach Wajtknecht and fans are urged to turn out in force to back the revamped side.
SWINDON: Jason Doyle, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Adam Ellis, David Bellego, Nick Morris, Emil Grondal, Zach Wajtknecht.
BELLE VUE: Max Fricke, Steve Worrall, Kenneth Bjerre, Justin Sedgmen, Craig Cook, Dan Bewley, Jack Smith.
