A ORLOV 8,628 Posted April 5, 2019 Practice planned for wed, it has been mentioned that this is not open to the public, which is a blow as I was planning to watch the new riders practice and see how the whole team take to the shorter but wider track.

They won't want the public seeing the track rutting up because it has had no chance to settle. We will get to pay £18 for that honour the following night so stay patient! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted April 5, 2019 Back in 1977 went to Bristol to see the return of speedway - first night it was, well afternoon I think. It was a shambles and vowed never again to go to the opening night of a new track (which is what Swindon is this year). Never been to one and not going to.

In mean time I'll view the feedback. .So when is press day. Could have held it ages ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted April 5, 2019 If practice and/or the first meeting on the 11th goes wrong for Swindon the knock on effect could be catastrophic. The following two meetings are held on the Thurs & Monday of Easter weekend so big crowds must be predicted and if it all goes pear shaped that is a lot of unhappy customers to deal with.

Gresham78 215 Posted April 8, 2019 Do we get a set of binoculars to view the new track? With a smaller circuit spectators will be even further away from it than they are now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
