Swindon Stadium


Recommended Posts

Is it me!!!! My understanding is the new track partly covers where the old track is so how can the new track be finished and ready to race while the old track is being demolished. It would mean the old track disappearing and the new track being finished off in a couple of days.

It did on the original plans but then the position of the new stadium was moved so there is now no overlap, the biggest issue will be the space for fans to park, if a lot turn up for a big meeting, as the new stadium is in some of the present car park, which is why it should have ideally been built between the end of one season and the start of the next.

If Oxford Stadium was available, there would already be a team racing in it!

I was only jesting...it's a crying shame what has happened at Cowley. As a life long fan of 'The Rebels' & 'Cheetahs' it annoys me that there is a stadium sat in Oxford doing nothing because the owner is so pig-headed to allow it to be used for what it was intended. I did once question this with a representative of the then owners (the GRA) and was fobbed off but I didn't believe what she was saying...and I've been proven correct since. The remit is to run the facility down and sell it off at a profit for development...and I can see that happening despite the intervention of the council and everybody fighting for its survival. I wish them well...I'm certainly flying the flag up here in York (although people here are generally ignorant of speedway) by having a poster in the window of my car.

Interesting to read about the large number of pop-up brothels in Swindon.

Why Swindon? Does this explain the slow progress with the new stadium?

it's about a valid excuse as the weather and Xmas Edited by THE DEAN MACHINE

Is not "pop-up" what happens when you go in to a brothel?.
