IronScorpion 1,407 Posted March 16, 2019 Is it still a requisite that no houses are to be started on until the stadium is finished? Is Osborne still waiting to implement his dirty tricks, as usual/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember all of the same negativity surrounding the NSS before it all finally happened, and look at it now. I appreciate the circumstances are completely different in Swindon. The Club have only been able to pass on info they're told, a lot of which has proven incorrect hence why they have stopped saying anything about the new stadium. The Club commented that an altered track would be in place for the 2019 season. Again, nothing about the stadium. The new track will be in place for the 2019 season. I very much doubt money would be being spent on all of the alterations if it was for one season. We'll see I guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,364 Posted March 18, 2019 Interesting that Terry Russell talks about "his" contractors and "the clubs" contractors. It certainly gives the impression that the club are paying for this rather than the stadium owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
