RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted May 31, 2016 Swindon don't have a say in the beer prices, that's the stadium owners choice, GI need the cash to pay for someone to keep fouling up the planning applications until the council finally give in and let them finish the housing estate instead of building the fictional stadium.

Gresham 928 Posted May 31, 2016 Blog on the day and track preparation now available "A close run thing" Many thanks for the insight and track preparation report. It's an interesting read, but surely a bit of a worry? It was hardly baking hot and there is always a bit of a breeze at Swindon. With Summer months coming and hotter temps into the evening, if I were the Swindon Promotors, I'd be making sure there was always enough water supply.

Someone needs to get onto Thames Water and check if the pressure in the area can be increased. It may be a supply issue or just a pipe size issue that is restricting the pressure and volume coming through. Ironically there is a reservoir on the top of Blunsdon Hill about half a mile from the stadium, but that may supply North Blunsdon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of doing the next RBF ive heard the riders have been instructed to take there helmets to said reservoir .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
