OveFundinFan 4,145 Posted February 21, 2017 Drove past Ellesmere Port speedway today, I reckon all the men and machines that you need at Swindon to get that stadium built are at EP completely flattening that stadium. Bit ironic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit ironic. June 1972 my first s/way meeting was at the Port one of the best tracks in the country IMO hope the same fate does not befall the Robins don't let up keep pushing as much as you can Edited February 21, 2017 by FAST GATER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted February 21, 2017 How long before the bulldozers flatten the current stadium for housing to be built on it? I'm led to believe that the old stadium can't be torn down until the new stadium is operational, but as that looks like being way off into the future, if ever, what else is to stop the old stadium being demolished if the new stadium never gets built?

IF it is true what you stated above (your second sentence) - then you have answered your own question. Â If it can't be pulled down until a new Stadium is in place, even if the new Stadium doesn't happen, at least you still have the old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fred5 41 Posted February 22, 2017 Hope the new stadium comes off, soon, as viewing at present is not good, need to be up higher to really see and appreciate the action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damosuzuki 696 Posted February 22, 2017 Now a good 2 years down the line since questions started to be asked in earnest, and GI have by the sounds of it done eff all. Lets face it, we've said it a million times - the stadium will never be built and the question is where do Swindon go from here. Â Swindon speedway has a good support and it looks like it's going to be destroyed slowly unless people actually grab the bull by the horns. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted February 22, 2017 Personally think it needs Mike and Per to sound out big local business about building our very own multi use stadium elsewhere and run to its fullest potential , motorsports , concerts etc , now I know locals would only support it as a concert venue in a limited way but the money is in attracting people nationwide and that does happen when it's big musical acts involved but this Town has always acted small town it's about time it stopped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted February 22, 2017 Are Swindon greyhounds still operating? If so then presumably Stadia UK will want that to continue?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
