Sotonian Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 No brown envelopes available? Could have invoked 'envelope replacement' and used white ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 So the meeting was delayed down to GI not providing a report on how they will avoid causing a nuisance to local residents. Anyone would have thought that would have been one of the first things that was provided years ago! If they were to reject these plans and say it does cause a nuisance to home owners nearby then does this cause us a problem using the exisiting stadium? https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/17953133.swindon-speedway-stadium-planning-meeting-delayed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is just excuse number 7 not to build it. Sure there are a few more up their sleeve. I don't know one Swindon fan who thinks it will be built. On the comments on the adver story there is one from a resident up there saying speedway doesn't bother him and all of his neighbours are of the same opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even more amazing is that they never made that mistake when it comes to the building of the houses , I just wish club would not make comment on how great is going to be when Osborne Clark put forward yet another false plan ,the fans are fed up with it. and quite frankly it's embarrassing . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest here, If the Speedway stopped that would suit Gaming International, they could then move the Money making Greyhound meetings down to Poole, and stop putting on the loss making greyhound meetings, that would mean NO speedway, No greyhound racing, with an empty stadium perfect to build more houses on... Its not really rocket science what GI,s real aim could be, in fact a few brown envelopes to some nearby Homeowners may not be beyong the realms of possibility.. conspiracy or factual ?, make up your own minds but GI,s history doesnt give anyone any kind of confidence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium would have more chance, if it was built on the site that was intended. Putting a few portacabins on the present location, is hardly a 'new stadium', especially when it comes to noise issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy swindon pete Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/18147100.decision-day-next-week-new-abbey-stadium/ Cant help but have bad feelings about the lists of potential issues and purposely half baked statements and ideas offered. “Opportunities for support and investment have been lost to other sites in Swindon and competing stadiums in the region are now starting to draw trade away.” Is a quote from the owners. Where? Have I missed all these speedway/dog racing facilities opening up nearby? Would be a possible excuse if Reading was still there, but some one razzed that. Can’t think who. “The owners proposals include screening with trees and other barriers and also a ‘neighbour hotline’, manned during all events, to enable residents to report noise complaints directly to the stadium“. You can’t make this stuff up...or infact you actually can. Thia is all Osbourne does, spout empty, vacuous, nonsense to slither away from scrutiny and delay things further. All eyes on next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 You only need to look at the ahem.. "untruths and misinformation" emanating from Brandon Estates to see what the sport is up against when dealing with the greedy developers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 The thing is, what happens if they don't get planning permission for the new stadium? Presumably we just carry on in the current one, which is becoming a bit of an eyesore probably. Is there any indication that the current stadium is under threat if the new one isn't built?
