Chalkie Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Is the new Swindon track going to be based on anyone else's has that been mentioned at all? Supposedly the same size as Cardiff but I wish it was Somerset! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Supposedly the same size as Cardiff but I wish it was Somerset! It needs to have longer straights than Somerset, the shape will be determined by the shape of the dog track, remember they own the stadium and speedway will have to use what is space is provided. I understand it will be Cardiff shaped but wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it will be Cardiff shaped but wider. Why do you consider it needs longer straights than at Somerset Orlovski? I find the Somerset circuit a bit too circular if they ride it from the inside of the bend to the outside of the centre of the straight and back to the inside of the next bend. I prefer longer straights as Swindon has, but I appreciate that they are likely to be shorter than what we have had so somewhere in between the two tracks would be ok.

BuzzCagney Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Most Swindon fans thought there would be no new stadium, but In Rosco We Trust, fantastic for Swindon Speed way and the town. Will it be called the Tomlinson Rosco or Russell Arena. Will enable the Robins to stay among the top clubs such as Poole and Belle Vue. Bog all to do with Rosco I'm afraid.

hagonshocker Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Start date delayed another two weeks, why don't they just bloody announce something when some work actually starts? Another delay that could compromise starting next season in a new one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Back straight bogs might be though!! I hope they have plans for new back straight bogs, with perhaps retro fittings taken from current building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 ER you are fixated on those bogs! Chalks, I first went to Blunsdon as a 10 year old. I remember those bogs on that day. 40'odd years later they remain. Exactly the same as they were all that time ago. I would say however, they are slightly more infested with spiders and wood lice. They form and almost mosaic like pattern on the wall in one of the private cubicles. Like the Abbey itself, the back straight bogs will be missed.

EnglishRoundabout Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 So as winter approaches there surely can't be a worse time to lay a track and construct a stadium in time for late spring. I'm no builder, but surely freezing weather, snow, ice, Christmas holidays will all further delay the project? Let's be realistic here, it's going to be late July/August before the stadium is ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Conlon Groundworks excavated a number of exploration holes yesterday in the car park rumours they are an upgrade on the back straight bogs are unfounded but joking aside it looks positive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
