Swindon Stadium

What a Public Relations disaster...but I shouldn't be surprised knowing that Clark Osbourne is involved knowing his involvement over the proposed sale of Cowley Stadium way back in 1975!

 

Surely the correct way of going about things was making sure that planning issues had been obtained and cleared before making announcements regarding completion of work and a proposed opening date and running a 'Farewell Meeting' of all things?

Plan and location of the new stadium

Which is part of this

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.

This may be normal for planning issues, but there are issues re the amount of parking spaces and movement of vehicles and people at the proposed stadium.

More news just released on the plans for the stadium in the Swindon Advertiser

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/14259435.Plans_for_new_stadium_revealed/?ref=mr&lp=6

 

An interesting read...especially the bit.."there will also be a training centre. This will allow youngsters to learn about bike mechanics and animal husbandry."

 

So in future there will be some well maintained bikes and some well pampered Robins then? :wink:

That is the training of the riders to look after animals for food, not sure if that includes the greyhounds that will be at the track, although the snack bar does sell hot dogs!

Probably. Thousands of Greyhounds mysteriously disappear every year when they are either too old to race anymore or aren't good enough.

And Lord Lucan was probably the most famous.

And never take your pet dog with you to a Vietnamese restaurant... :nono:

I will try not to...anyway don't think he would be allowed to travel to Vietnam he hates flying anyway.
