remembertheracers Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 No excuses now left, will GI and Clark Osbourne break the habit of a lifetime and build something? Still hope for Swindon. RIP Reading, Milton Keynes, Bristol. As ever the Robins website is about the last to tell us the news! Think Swindon will make the play offs, so possibly only two meetings to go at Shabby Stadium. Does anyone know how many seats are planned for the new venue? Track length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Really pleased that the planning has finally gone through at last.

mikebv Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thats great news for Swindon fans,looking forward to seeing the stadium develope. Let's hope they do like BV did and get the track shape right first then build the stadium around it.... A smaller NSS would be no bad thing or maybe even a 'Gustrow'..? Be a shame to focus on the stadium first then fit in a track of 'any shape' into the space left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Unless things have changed the track will be based on the length and width of Cardiff with the inside line cut in a bit further entering the first and 3rd corner and i assume the inside line will be cut back the same coming out, possibly like mikebv has hinted a little like Gustrow in order to make it more flowing than the temp jobbie at the Principality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's excellent news for Swindon, the EL and the sport in general. I'm pleased for all the fans. Isn't this primarily a greyhound stadium so I suspect they will have to do the best they can within the confines of the greyhound track. Hopefully, there will still be the opportunity to design a track that produces good racing, I'm sure there will. Wasn't there talk of modelling it on Cardiff.

Crazy robin Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Get the track right as I've stood on grass or gravel for the last 43 years so no problem if there is no seats or stands. Great news & long live The Robins😀😀😀😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Would like to see confirmation of the size and shape of the track as would not want a track that is too small like Oxford was that for me produced boring racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sweetman Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Great news for the Robins,but ironic that having a new speedway track with houses a few feet away,that Cradley cant get Dudley Council to find them a site because of the noise factor to properties half a mile away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Track is suppose to be the same size & shape as Cardiff's track, approx 280 metres I think.
