Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 15, 2018 Ronnie Russel said when interviewed on BT that he was marking the new track out, which would have been done over a month ago. Has this happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Revised stadium layout, dated 18 Oct 2018. Big question here is there does not seem to be any areas for the greyhounds, either kennels or area where they are checked before they run, unless that is what the "compound" is for, in which case where is all the speedway machinery kept, ie tractors, graders etc. So is this yet another load of bs. https://pa1.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/files/1AABB0678BAA6552E3AC71A341BBD5CB/pdf/S_RES_18_0027-PROPOSED_SITE_LAYOUT-697013.pdf Edited October 26, 2018 by A ORLOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Compound is accessed from the Paddock so that pretty much says it's the dogs' area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
