SKIPPER Leigh Adams once again led Swindon’s attack from the front in 2008 and, as a measure of his sheer consistency, he actually achieved the highest average of his long and distinguished career.
The durable Aussie has posted averages in excess of 10.00 every year from 2000 but, this term, he has raised the bar to finish with a monumental 11.04 figure.
In descending order, the final figures for each teamster are broken down to league only below, followed by the overall statistics.
NOTE: Only two riders, Leigh Adams and James Wright, remained ever-present throughout the Robins’ forty-one official matches.
