SWINDON Robins' Elite League clash with Coventry Bees later this month has been pushed back four days, with the club also announcing cut-price admission for the Sky Sports-televised fixture.
Alun Rossiter's men will now take on their Midlands rivals on Monday, July 4 (7.30), with the clash having been moved from its original date of Thursday, June 30 to enable it to be broadcast live.
Admission will be £10 for adults and concessions for the meeting as the Robins look to bring in a big home crowd.
Rossiter said: “We want to see the Abbey packed for this meeting, it always looks better on TV when there's a big crowd.
“It's less than a month away and it will be a crucial part of the season for both clubs. We cannot afford to slip up at home again this season so there will be a lot on the line.
“Coventry will be desperate for points away from home too, so let's pack the Abbey like Bank Holiday Monday and create a fantastic atmosphere for the boys to race in and for Sky Sports.”
Robins are without a match this week, but host fellow play-off hopefuls Lakeside at the Abbey next Thursday (June 16, 7.30pm) before travelling for the return fixture the next evening.
