Robins captain Adams is just one of the star names on show at Blunsdon

The Bob Kilby Memorial speedway meeting has been moved to Sunday, 21 March after bad weather affected Thursday's event at Swindon's Abbey Stadium.

A host of world-class riders will appear at the meeting including Robins' skipper Leigh Adams who will compete against world champion Jason Crump.

They will be joined by Russian star Emil Sayfutdinov and three-times world champion Nicki Pedersen.

The contest will be a 23-heat, Grand Prix-style format.

Swindon co-owner Gary Patchett said: "The assembled field is certainly a strong one and needless to say we're very excited.

"It's great way to launch the 2010 speedway campaign at Blunsdon, and it promises to be a memorable night of action."

Aside from the headline-grabbing quartet of Crump, Pedersen, Sayfutdinov and Adams, there is plenty of international talent throughout the 16-man field.

Hans Andersen, Freddie Lindgren, Chris Harris and Lee Richardson are joined by exciting youngsters Grzegorz Zengota and Thomas H. Jonasson.

The tapes are scheduled to go up at 1800 GMT.

Full line-up: Emil Sayfutdinov, Jason Crump, Leigh Adams, Nicki Pedersen, Lee Richardson, Freddie Lindgren, Simon Stead, Seb Ulamek, Hans Andersen, Steve Johnston, Mads Korneliussen, Morten Risager, Thomas Jonasson, Grzegorz Zengota, Chris Harris, Greg Walasek.
