  1. It wont, which is what people have been saying for ages. Some clubs will drop to a lower league or pack it in.
  2. Hope this bet does not mean you will have to cut down on food this month.
  3. Swindon press and practice just announced on twitter Thurs March 17th, riders on track at 5.30.
  4. Plan and location of the new stadium http://pa1.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/files/098847815F3A1E8D23E070EF38FF150C/pdf/S_RES_16_0036-LOCATION_PLAN-516266.pdf Which is part of this http://pa1.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=O0L5L7PTG2I00 As stated before if you look at the plan it shows the overlap with the present stadium, so not sure how they are going to build the outside of bend 4 and the dog track during the season.
  5. Well it is March 1st and there is still no further news on the planning app for the new stadium.
  6. Will it be in time for him to mechanic for Lewis Bridger in March
  7. This would be a good idea but it has problems. The start mechanism would get clogged up with shale and damaged each time the track was graded and bladed. In motocross the starts tend to be off line and not ridden over each lap. The only way this might work is if the start was on concrete on the bend and off the racing circuit.
  8. No, was never that far back which made it stupid to keep looking behind, must have been habit.
  9. There was one rider last year that should have been excluded for looking behind him, cannot remember who it was but he was even looking behind him when he was last .
  10. Unless I have read you post wrongly I am not putting forward a petty complaint about the stadium, if you read my post it states that it is a shame about the lack of viewing from bend 1 and 2. I can also assure you I am not worrying my head about it.
  11. There may not be an obvious direct link but no doubt there will be a link somewhere, he or his services will possibly be used later or on an unconnected project.
  12. Always used to stand on the straight after the exit of bend 2 and had a great view of all the action on bend 1 and 2 at Swindon, no doubt BV would be the same, but the loss of viewing at bend 1 and 2 is a shame and not a good example for a major stadium.
  13. The whole squad need to race each other and others at BV over a day or two of testing.
  14. On BSPA website Scotty Nicholls is back with the GB squad after talks with Rosco.
  15. So how many wed night clubs fans will stay at home and watch Sky rather than go to either the meeting being shown or when someone like Lakeside visit.
  16. That is good, they may have to test their temp stands on bends 3 and 4 earlier than they thought.
  17. There was definitely a drop in fans from the visiting team as mid week travel for fans from clubs far away is often not possible, also people made a weekend of Sat at Swindon and Sun at another meeting.
  18. Scunthorpe in 2006 Rye House and Poole in 2007 Rye House in 2008
  19. If you are talking about Swindon have seen nothing about a change in dog racing night so that Swindon could race on a wed, the change from Saturday to Thursday caused the numbers of fans to reduce, another change may do the same again.
  20. Do not worry Gem, I am sure no one will remember or diarise your offer
  21. Also what brand of gaffa tape was best to fix a leak or crack.
  22. Not only for Swindon but also to save costs it would make sense to have two consecutive days, say wed and thurs.
  23. No, the stadium will be owned by Stadia uk and speedway rents the track off them, which is where the one night only falls down.
  24. Agreed, not interested in race times or seeing every race with riders strung out. Good close racing is what most want, a few seasons ago we continually had 5 - 1s and 4 - 2s most weeks and it got predictable and boring.
