Gary (Patchett) tells me he was very popular with the supporters before and is very keen to return to Swindon."It is good to see that we have been able to use one of our own assets to fill what is clearly a very important place in the team. Tomasz comes into the team on a starting average of 6.12 but I will consult with all the members of the team and the captain before we decide what the racing order will be."
