Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

Let's be honest here. A prestige international meeting should be staged at the very best venue that is approved and available. With the very best will in the world, the new Swindon track will only cover the basics at best so to avoid embarrassment / criticism the U.K. authorities should make representations to the FIM now and get the venue reallocated. I'm sure some folks will have already made travel plans - by relocating now there is an opportunity to make changes without too much upheaval.

I think so, we did have one, we had FIM u 21 meetings, I mc examine at Leicester, checks are far more robust under FIM, fuel, bike weight, race apparel, silencers, all tested to a higher degree....

Indeed you did.....I'd forgotten about that U21 meeting.

 

Hoowever, there will be track alterations over the next few weeks..........will that not need another FIM inspection prior to further meetings being allocated?

As far as I'm aware, the fence isn't being moved, in fact we only re-staked the kickboards 2 weeks ago!!

 

The levels levelled, and kerbs on 1 & 2 being altered.. It will need re-measuring for length, but that's all will need clerically altering.

The Developers keep advertising a new market which has led many punters to believe there is currently no exsisting one which isn't true and has greatly affected trade leading to many traders pulling out, with this sort of attitude from GI it really does make me question there real motives

I hope you are right i predict we will be at the Abbey this year and in 2018 and myself i am happy with that.

I wouldn't get too confident about 2018 mate!

I would not be surprised mate if the Abbey is demolished in September if so who is accountable?.By the way mate are you going to the Darcy meeting on the 24th.?

So it seems that the planning restrictions on the number of properties that can either be built or sold must now have been exceeded. Mind you it might be that by moving in one digger, a couple of cabins and building a gabion wall might be seen as a start if the planners max number of houses was conditioned on the starting of the stadium build. If that is the case the planners are not too clever, which being Swindon Council would not surprise me.

How safe is the condition that the existing stadium cannot be demolished until the new one is up and running?
