SWINDON ROBINS: Bomber booked for Kilby Memorial

GRAND Prix star Chris Harris is the latest big name to be announced for the Bob Kilby Memorial Trophy at the Abbey Stadium on Sunday, March 18.

Robins co-promoter Gary Patchett said: “Everyone is buzzing about the opening meeting of the season, and the addition of ‘Bomber’ Harris is an exciting one.

“He always gives it his all and he is a rider I have always admired. I believe he could be up there challenging for the Trophy on March 18.”

Tapes go up at 6pm and gates open at 4.30pm. Admission is £20 for adults, £15 for concessions, £8 for children aged 11-15 and free for under 11s.

The question is how are they booking all these GP riders and riders from abroad when I know for a fact they still owe riders money from last year?!!

more to the point. THE QUESTION IS, unless you are very lucky i am guessing you owe some money to someone in one form or another. are you telling me you arent spending one single penny on yourself until your debt is paid off?

Nah I won a good sum on the lottery 3 years ago so don't owe a penny to anyone. I just pay £260 every year for a season ticket and starting to wonder where the cash goes. Surely the main expense for any promotion is rider wages but they haven't been paid since July so you have to ask where has all the money gone.

Only joking. I work in a famous fast food chain so of course I have debts. Im glad the line up is top class and I hope the promotion dont lose loads of cash again as they have put together a good team for 2012. It just concerns me when you hear stories of massive losses and unpaid riders. Surely a business like that is not sustainable for long.
