A ORLOV Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) There is a query about the plan which does not appear to be right, the same as most of the other drawings etc shown previously, as it does not show the location of the back straight stand which is the first thing they are waiting for planning permission to build, after they have received permission to demolish the present building.

dog Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 1 hour ago, dump that clutch said: don't worry Steve, it'll never happen. Too much has gone through for a happy ending at the Abbey, toothless twats letting everything happen like it has. I'll publicly come on here and apologise if this new stadium does indeed happen. I'm feeling that way too. How can GI keep making so many mistakes? Are they truly incompetent or are they looking to get us evicted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no back straight stand mentioned anywhere in the planning application. I don't even think there is room for a stand between the greyhound track and the access road. The only thing I can see is 4 metres of "hard standing" between the track and the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stand was mentioned by Stadia which they will use for the dog racing, and if construction happens in the speedway season for speedway while the main stand is replaced as it is not an overnight job, even though they claim their "lego brick" construction goes up fast. This is another case of plans which do not fit what has been stated and possibly all bs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pulled a flanker over Swindon council, when they got them to amend the building restrictions, allowing them to build houses before the stadium was built. Once that happened, game over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Some people will look pretty foolish if this is so.. Speedway has virtually nil influence with the powers that matter. Tracks in farmers fields will be the only newbies going forward.. Edited August 19, 2018 by Mike.Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 In May 2017 it was stated in the press that the stadium was manufactured by Werniak in Port Talbot and ready to go but drainage problems to the site was holding construction up.....

The same shiney bog paper that was there in 1970? at the Abbey then there was a cheap/expensive side you could get over to the starting gate usually in heat 10.

The stadium's now in a residential area and I think it's only a matter of time before there are noise and environmental complaints. Add to this the general demise of the sport and the feeling I get that Terry Russell wants out means the long term outlook for Speedway in Swindon is not good.

They have submitted new plans since that do not fit in with the design of the so say stadium originally submitted. No approval of the new stadium plans has yet to be agreed & housing developers have written with concern to the new plans. Read what you will of that & the fact that Stadia UK have never built a new stadium to date. Remember Reading & what happened to their so called new stadium. The supporters of Torquay United FC are having problems with Stadia UK, who now own them & surprise, surprise, they want to relocate their stadium & replace it with a new stadium elsewhere. Luckily for Torquay supporters, Torbay Council own the leasehold of the stadium & they are refusing to sell the leasehold until such time as a new stadium is built. Watch that space & see how long the council will hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yes Stadia UK aka Property developers! The question is do Swindon have the desire to stick it out for a new site or just be worn down by the corporates and then fade away as seems to be their game plan.

Crazy robin Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tonight’s meeting at Poole sums up Swindon’s problems this season as it’s Tobias’s turn to have an absolute nightmare. The team needed consistency from the top 5 & sadly at least one always has an off night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 So play off hopes hanging by a thread and we need help from other teams but while there is a chance you never know. We need Wolves to not get a point at either Somerset or Poole. We need Wolves to get 3 points and Belle Vue no more than 4 points from their 2 matches on Monday. We need to beat both Poole and Belle Vue. If Belle Vue get 4 points from the Wolves meetings we would also have to send them home pointless. Finally we Belle Vue to lose at home to Somerset. A draw would be good enough to send us through if Belle Vue didn't get any points from their trips to Wolves and Swindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
