These things take time just like it did in Manchester. Mocking about it is in very poor taste given how long the Aces pair were laughed at for suggesting it would happen. still, each to their own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway Manchester delivered, so no reason why Swindon won’t do the same. Manchester wasn't built by Gaming International. Check the latter's record of false promises and abject failure to deliver on promises, especiually in Reading and Milton Keynes. The NSS was a totally different case - backing from the city council plus Manchester City through their local sport initiative is a rather different scenario to a company with a record of fine words and zero action in far too many cases. They've even spread into football with Torquay United. They own the club and immediately promised to demolish Plainmoor and move the club to a new stadium. They promised, they promised.....then said it wasn't going to happen. https://www.devonlive.com/sport/football/football-news/torquay-united-scrap-plans-new-3412818 I'd love them to build the new stadium but it would be foolish not to keep a very close eye on these people given their shocking record under various names.

Only because stupid Councils do not force them to build the new facilities before they are allowed to demolish or close what they have bought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apologies, perhaps I should have made myself clearer. I was comparing only the parallel that work promised will be delivered. Obviously the NSS was a completely different ball game I get that. Its just when people try to question if what was provided as correct information is actually correct. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. I know we are talking about different companies however note the caution of these people because of previous track records. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the record, they are infamously disgusting, and have pretty much remained the same standard as when I first started attending at Blunsdon some 40 odd years ago.
