They are still at the same stadium ,so that's a lot worse than Kings Lynn not naming their team all at once. The stadium issue as you know is well out of Swindon speedway's management hands.We all believed the stadium would happen but i am just pleased the club is still operating. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have said all along sid that the spreading out of announcements is for the benefit of people who switch off from speedway in the winter months and not the likes of us who use this forum. I don’t think it had been done particularly well but can understand the theory. They could have done so much more with better planning. People who eat, drink and sleep Lynn speedway knew the team before Xmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no guarantee - yet - that Swindon will be doing the same, despite naming a team long ago. Any team needs a stadium and a track to race on. No-one knows if that is the case for the Robins yet. Is it really going to be the same old tired track in the same old worn out stadium?

I thought maybe they could of been frightened of announcing that Puk was not doing this season.A real shame as that top two is a very potent one and i feel Puk would of been on it this year.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
