SWINDON co-owner Terry Russell says rebuilding a home-track fortress is a priority for the Robins in 2011.The Blunsdon side lost six of their sixteen matches on their own circuit last season, in stark contrast to their home form of previous years.They go into a new era in March with Scott Nicholls taking over as No.1 and Simon Stead as captain following the retirement of Australian legend Leigh Adams.Russell said: "I thought we would make the play-offs last year, and if we had not lost those meetings at home we'd have walked it, because we had the second-best away record."I have to make sure we win here first, and away second. We want to win away, but we know the pain and the damage of losing at home."
