The ''pre-built grandstand'' you mentioned is owned by Stadia UK, not Swindon, they are the ones who have stated that the prebuilt grandstand is in storage in Wales. The Speedway club (and even the local media) can only provide information which is given to them by Stadia UK. This is also the reason the track reshape hasn't started until a few weeks back, the landlord has to grant permission. I hope this clears a few of your points up. Didn't Terry Russell state in the local rag work would start towards end of February in swindon advertiser yet today an article in Advertiser states permission wasnt granted for track changes till 11 March... why start changes then and not in October giving plenty of time for work to be done and track have a winter too bed in... will the delay of week make a ounce of difference in first turn bedding in....

It depends which Terry Russell you believe. This one from the 26th September 2018: Quote All that is in my hands is the alterations on our track and taking it from what it is now to a 300m track. “I am commencing that work immediately so that we don’t hold up the work with the stadium once they can start. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/16903310.swindon-robins-to-rip-up-abbey-stadium-track-this-winter/ Or this one, from the 23rd January: Quote We’ll be looking to get the track completed at the beginning of February, although we haven’t started work yet – which I am not concerned about. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/17377892.swindon-robins-chairman-terry-russell-plans-to-start-work-on-improved-abbey-stadium-race-track-layout-next-month/ Swindon's new track has had more false starts than a heat featuring James Sarjeant.

If I remember correctly all those around the old track were cladded, so doing the same with these will be no different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
