Dave Jones Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Aye, Davy Jones will be livid. No he won't .. You obviously haven't got the ability to read and understand . My comments were always aimed at TR running a Farewell Meeting when it was obvious that the new stadium was never going to be ready for next March. Obvious that is, to many, but not you it would appear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvm Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Can someone explain where the new track will be in relation to the present track. Is there a link to the planning application? Edited December 3, 2015 by pvm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comments were always aimed at TR running a Farewell Meeting when it was obvious that the new stadium was never going to be ready for next March. Obvious that is, to many, but not you it would appear. Using my ability to read and understand, I remember TR saying he still had expectations that the Stadium would be ready for the start of the season, given the info that he had been given. As time went on, that was seen to be optimistic, but we have to presume that TR had nothing to gain if he knew otherwise. Now it would seem a reasonable compromise has been agreed, given what TR has been told by the developers. But of course as usual it will all be a con to you.

Yet amazingly with the information available to us, the fans predicted that them timings were rubbish as they did with BV.

A ORLOV Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Can someone explain where the new track will be in relation to the present track. Is there a link to the planning application? The new track is to the east of the current track with one of the straights being next to and in line with the dual carriageway and either bend 2 or 4 being very near where bend 1 of the present track is. If you look at the adver report, next post, bend 1 is in the top left hand corner of the picture and you can see a bit of the road in the bottom left corner, so the new track is to the left of that picture.

Odds On Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 for those doubters about a new stadium being built, Alun has spoken. So all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) for those doubters about a new stadium being built, Alun has spoken. So all is good. Yeah and come out with this pearl of wisdom.... "Ask the Newport, Reading and Oxford fans. The stadium cannot be knocked down until the new one is built so we have speedway". Would that be the same Reading and Newport that dont have new stadium but have seen old ones knocked down? I'm also confused, how can they go from one to the other mid-season if the new stadium is being built over some of the older stadium?

Tsunami Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yet amazingly with the information available to us, the fans predicted that them timings were rubbish as they did with BV. Funny that Yes, but as the custodian of the situation, TR could only go with the promises that were being given to him. What do folks expect him to say publicly, if the developer is assuring him things are OK and are on track. It's a different matter to guess and insinuate on a social media with no direct responsibilities, than be in the middle trying to makes things work for everyone. At least they got a plan and fans get a new stadium during the year, despite others doubting anything they hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't have a go at the fans for questioning things, especially when it turns out weeks later that they were right to questions things. Maybe in that instance "stay quiet" would have been the best advice he could have been given. Also then knowing that was unlikely, why host a farewell meeting? I'm still not convinced we'll see a new stadium this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also confused, how can they go from one to the other mid-season if the new stadium is being built over some of the older stadium? They can do the following as only the perimeter of the stadiums overlap on the corner of the present stadium at bend 1 and I understand that they may need to shorten the straights of the present stadium inorder to build the new stadium corner. There is room for the new dog and speedway track to be built while the shortened track is in use.

I'm still not convinced we'll see a new stadium this season. I was having a go at one in particular who still hasn't got over 2010, and probably never will Stay quiet and be damned. Not usually an option you can get away with. Because the fans expected one and they got one. Why cancel it, and if the developers don't build the stadium there are some, like Davy, will argue he knew all along and they had no intention of holding one. NB Being a 'player' is a damsight harder than being a permanent critic. Critics are apparently never wrong (but don't achieve anything either).

In fact I even started to have niggling doubts myself. Mostly from reading some Posters on here. Look where we are now at Belle Vue - I am sure it will be the same for Swindon.
