A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 14, 2017 In the local paper today http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/15770852.Robins_still_unsure_over_progress_of_new_stadium/?ref=mr&lp=5 It will be interesting seeing what excuse the owners come up with this time.

MattK 3,447 Posted December 14, 2017 Let's face it, they have no intention of every building a new stadium. Listening to Jeff Davies on Talk Speedway describe how Brandon has been run down shows how easy it would be for GI to declare the Abbey as no longer feasible as a stadium.

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) As long as the Abbey stays open i am more than happy with that, a new stadium does not worry me that much.I was worried maybe the Abbey would eventually be demolished and like other great venues be a part of history cant ever imagine Swindon never having a speedway team.

Steve0 5,517 Posted December 14, 2017 ^^^^^ Have you not noticed the houses in the pits? Can't say they will be happy to still have a speedway track at the end of their gardens. I do hope this gets sorted and the council do not relax their rule about having a new stadium before the current one can close! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read the planning documents and there is no clause. The only condition was that a maximum of 200 houses could be occupied before contracts for the new stadium were in place. Presumably this has been met as far more than 200 homes have been occupied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure Justin Tomlinson reported this a while back about not closing the Abbey until the new one was in place (a learning from the Reading fiasco). I hope that it is written down somewhere because if I bought one of the houses in the pits, I wouldn't be too happy if I wasn't a speedway or greyhound supporter.
