A ORLOV

Re the new stadium at Swindon, someone went around the local houses and carried out a survey re any noise, the most objections were about the tannoy music and announcements from the dog racing rather than the bikes.

In which case the smell given out has been reduced as I do not smell it at all now and have not done for many years.

The Castrol R smell has gone, it would be interesting to get a post from any mechanic to see if any riders still use it.

Agreed, the engines are a lot quieter and there is no castrol R smell anymore.

Just hope the plans have not been done by the same person

On the last set of plans for the previous new stadium someone pointed out that the refs box did not line up with the start gate and a few other issues

Now there are residents in the new houses who can object to the stadium and delay planning permission, and with the speed Swindon Council works May seems extremely optimistic. The picture does not seem to show viewing facilities for 700 as stated somewhere.

Matt has got round the blue line issue by insisting that the whole track is sprayed blue

Having dropped a financial clanger by paying too much for football it is all they can afford

Hope so as I enjoy watching other clubs meetings.

1.5 to 2 kl distance, there was talk of having a minibus shuttle which might be ok before the meeting but not sure after. The biggest issue will be those turning up at the Stadium at 7.15 then being told no room so go to park and ride.

We get good numbers from Poole and would have thought Somerset would have quite a few. Previously in the transport plan there was an indication that parking in Groundwell park and ride would be available, but cannot see many wanting to use that.

And 480 parking spaces, so they still expect fans to get the bus or park elsewhere. That number will be difficult for a meeting against Poole or Somerset when we should get big opposition numbers or a play off final etc. May ? will they have planning permission by then?

The land owner and house developer, the same was going to pay for the original new one

Report in the adver states that there was a realistic program to be racing on their new track this season, oh yea. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/15893968.Abbey_Stadium_owners_announce_new_plans_for_arena/?ref=mr&lp=2 Have they not got to go and get new planning permission as this is a complete change to what was originally proposed before they start? That will delay things and now there are occupants living a lot closer to the site.

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.

So we have our home meetings on thursdays and mondays with only two scheduled for a wed, that is ok. It is a pity we do not see Jason at Swindon till May 28th.

Since the first meetings are against BV we will see who beats who.

Agree about the bull sh#t and not bothered anymore.

That would be good if they can generate enough interest to at least pay the rent for the stadium. I enjoyed the few NT meetings we had.

What level of team would that be ?

So

Not a worry as he will have good back up and is likely to continue to improve.
