Chalkie Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Sorry, I did mean to! If your change is permanent, I will also say "thank you" too! Me too, although I don't know why you don't use the standard font, it is so much easier to read! Anyway, thanks again, Hagon. There are some really good and to a degree revealing articles about the end of the Abbey in issue number 70 of Backtrack magazine, received today. If you don't get it normally, it might be worth writing to them or telephoning to get your copy.

orion Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Saw the spin on the Swindon Website about the New Staduim being built by the end of may and the farewell meeting not being a con as it is the farewell meeting ever thou it's was quite clear it was never going to be the last meeting !. Rather than give all these promises that might not happen why don't we just say we are running at the abbey intill we know otherwise ? if the new stadium does happen then it's a bonus . Where stadium uk are concerned there are no guarantees. Edited October 19, 2015 by orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deak77 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm guessing the new Swindon stadium will be completed at around the same time as the re-developed Odsal,you know,the one that closed at the end of 1997 for a 2 year redevelopment, due to re-open in 2000.

Where stadium uk are concerned there are no guarantees. lets be perfectly honest here, is it realistic to think that the probability of a new stadium/track being built is next to zero?

You mean the same Odsal where the Bradford Bulls are still playing? If so I don't see the point you're trying to make. Nice stadium is Odsal http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-16723350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it the same way that is why Swindon should just keep it simple by saying we are staying at the abbey intill we hear otherwise . Sadly if you read the Swindon Speedway facebook page there are still lots of people who think that the stadium will be build by May because Terry Russell told them so, thou it's quite clearly that is impossible .

TR would have been far more sensible doing that and been respected a bit if he had done that rather than having a go at the fans and coming out with BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be absolutely complete to use does it? Could start akin to Somerset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Doesn't have to be absolutely complete to use does it? Could start akin to Somerset! Perhaps they could transfer the grass-banks bars and bogs of the Abbey to the new site 50 yards away..don't bother with the snack bars and kiosks they're crap. Temporary seating could be installed if needed. The retractable roof can come later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
