Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

Guess it would depend where the likes of those are allowed to take there place in a side , as a reserve they could be good aqquisitions especially MPT

I think all those three would do well at reserve maybe bring a rule in that a English rider has to be in a top 5 plus a ed rider at reserve.I don't mind riders like Bellego, Toft, Douglas,

Jorgensen,Berge, Wells,Allen,Thomsen,as examples it would make the EL stronger.

How many swindon fans truly believe that the new stadium will be built and ready for next season.

It will be built. My guess is that it will be a huge challenge to have it built for March/April 2017.

I have heard that June has been mentioned i don't see it being up and running by April.Have heard that no work has been started yet but the power in the old stadium has been cut off the dog racing therefore is being run off a generator how true that is i dont know.

Yes that is true , the stadium was being run on a giant generator at the last speedway meeting. We arrived there at 6pm and the Power Company were just leaving. It was running on the back of a lorry just inside the gate all evening, we asked and were told they were going to put the electric cables underground, hence the generator. :t:

Weather permitting won't take that long to build although afaik there is still a few things the council has to pass minor stuff although hopefully won't delay a start at least

Anyone heard if Dakota North will be riding next year?

Taking up 4 wheeled sport ...golf buggies I heard

£6m has been bandied about but I think not somehow.

I don't see it being anything like as much.

 

I see it being something akin to how Smallmead was. Obsolescent within 5 years. Derelict within 10.

Nothing like Smallmead as stadium development has moved on a pace in today's world.

Leicester would be a fine model - apart from the track.
