remembertheracers Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Stadium building rationed in Swindon! Fans hoping to see much happening get no Christmas present as a new Osbourne company Riviera takes over Torquay United FC. Cant imagine what that is about if not housing in the future. But no good news for the Swindon Robins as we move into 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no good news for the Swindon Robins as we move into 2017. As Plainmoor isn't a big site and surrounded by housing on all sides I can't imagine that its the sort of prime real estate that Clark and his boys are looking for. Not a lot happens in Torquay unless Showaddywaddy are in town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Will Nick Morris be able to improve his disappointing 2016 away form in 2017? Big season needed from him as the teams number 2 rider! Edited December 24, 2016 by szkocjasid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so as apart from Jason all the team need to up their averages they have, that is proper averages and not the false ones from this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise some are keen, despite their protestations to the contrary, that the stadium doesn't go ahead (mostly for no other reason than they are keen to be proven right) but its happening. Sorry.

A ORLOV Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Progress does appear to be slow but if father christmas has delivered a load of lego bricks it might speed up a bit. I cannot see a lot of progress over the next couple of months with the weather we are getting so a June completion may be too optimistic.

Then Rosco can assemble a title winning side for 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a good couple of months weather wise & that's why it is poor that more hasn't been done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have passed Blunsdon several times since the end of the season and everytime its 2 or three guys there in hard hats sitting in a cabin drinking tea, or pushing a broom about. Zip being done. Two diggers pushing the same pile of dirt about and the blokes moving a pile of railings from one spot to another, then back again. Think those guys are there for show. Answered an advert at the job centre. Wanted. Tea drinkers. Must wear yellow reflective jacket and hard hat. Be able to read (a newspaper) listen (to the radio) and look busy when anyone approaches. Hours. Monday to Friday. 9-4. Tea breaks 9.10-10am, 10.10-11, 11.10-12. Lunch 12-3. Tea break at 3.10 -4pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 What actually is the situation there in a nutshell? If the new track is not built in time can the old track still be used next year? It took Tony Mole's construction team from early January all the way to mid March to build the track in Perry Barr in 2007 so if construction doesn't start soon it would be good to know that a "plan B" exists.

Ovalman Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 As has been said the new track will be in use from June so they will just transfer. Surprised only 1000 seats in 3000 capacity, then not everyone likes parking their bums. I realise some are keen, despite their protestations to the contrary, that the stadium doesn't go ahead (mostly for no other reason than they are keen to be proven right) but its happening. Sorry. Spot on and very few of those live in Swindon and surrounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
