You seem to have developed an obsession with Swindon at the moment ... why is it laughable? Look down the list of riders in the Aussie title it’s diabolical compared to what it used to be and winning it nowadays means very little , Tungate a serial 6 pointer think your getting carried away as usual if anyone’s laughable it’s you ya clown Apart from his time at Belle Vue where he averaged over 7.

What's the betting its a big story saying its on the way with an picture of Tomlinson and Osborne in hard hats and high viz jackets. Problem is we all know its BS and the lego new Abbey will never be built. You forget to mention that they will be standing in the puddle by the shack to show the huge obstacle that's so far prevented it being built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted January 24, 2018 So the plan now, it seems, is for the new stadium to be built on the same site as the current one. If new one is worked on and changed, then fine. If the current one is to be demolished first, then not fine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted January 24, 2018 they will build as they go & probably restrict people going down the back straight IMO. Once that’s done, close the main straight down etc, the last bit will be altering the track at the end of the season is my guess. I think that the recently announced BAGS deal for which Swindon is one of the tracks has saved us, also the council appear to have backed us by not allowing the Abbey to be flattened in advance of any building Work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted January 24, 2018 I wonder if the people in the houses next to the pits will be happy now that the track is next to them rather than 150 mtrs away. Also not sure why shortening the track will improve the racing ! Anyway lets see if it actually happens. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted January 24, 2018 It won't happen. The season starting in 2 months is the perfect reason to delay it as they can't knock things down whilst people are attending meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted January 24, 2018 I'd have thought it was obviously a ploy to demolish the current stadium then find some good reason why a new stadium can't be built on top of the smoking ruins and how they will sadly be forced into completing the housing estate instead of a new stadium. I hate to be cynical but this plan has stunk to high heaven ever since the initial proposal was to put the new stadium car park on the centre 'green'! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoke Potter 242 Posted January 24, 2018 Still fishy but, being optimistic... If the track is shortened to be a carbon copy of the new Belle Vue then that will be excellent news... Swindon current length = 363m, New Belle Vue = 347m. Russell & Co should now be insisting/ensuring the track is a replica of Belle Vue, of course they won't be.

I feel sorry for people who are so gullible to keep getting taken in. It will go quiet now for 9 months before more exciting breaking news is out that the stadium is imminent. More chance of Gavan admitting Poole will pee the league next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
