In 2012 the Swindon Robins speedway team won the Elite League in
Great Britain for the first time since 1967. Much has been written
about their sucess on track; less has been written about the team
of volunteers who work throughout the year to prepare the track to
allow racing to go ahead. Taken from the pages of the Blunsdon
Blog, a web site that follows their work, the book describes the
"hidden side of speedway" at Swindon. Over 370 pages long and with
in excess of 1,200 photographs, the book affords a fascinating
glimpse behind the scenes. The author, Graham Cooke, whose previous
books have included "The Year of the Blog" and "Poetry and Writing
of the 1st World War" introduces the readers to a fascinating group
of characters, bound by their love of the "shale sport". The book
features photographs from behind the scenes at Swindon and also
from the 2012 British Speedway Grand Prix in Cardiff.
