WELCOME to Tapes-Up, the Advertiser’s new weekly pull-out covering all things Swindon Robins, the Elite League, and British speedway as a whole.

While it may seem a strange time to launch a new speedway supplement, given the Robins didn’t ride last week and will not take to the track in the next seven days either, there is still plenty to talk about including tonight’s British Final, as well as a tribute to former Swindon rider Lee Richardson who tragically lost his life a year ago today.

Over the coming weeks we will bring you all the goings on behind the scenes at Blunsdon and beyond, and, together with our continued coverage in the Advertiser six days a week, we hope to be able to enjoy another memorable season for the Elite League champion Robins.

There will be plenty to get involved in, including your chance to ask the Robins riders and management any burning questions you have at the back of your mind, as well as competitions and the opportunity to have your say on matters at Blunsdon and throughout the sport.

It’s easy to get in touch with us, and you can have your say either emailing sport@swindonadvertiser.co.uk, or by using #adverspeedway on Twitter.
