With the 2018 season all but completed for Swindon, attention turns to 2019.

Current Averages

Batchelor 7.96 - Form has dipped last few months, double scores home and away before that. Unlikely to improve current average in 2019. UNSURE

Morris 6.92 - Bargain Average if he can rediscover 2017 form. KEEP

Musielak 6.61 - Another rider on a bargain average. Still only 25 years old and will keep improving. KEEP

Ellis 6.49 - Most improved rider of 2018 for Swindon, a young Brit who will continue to improve. KEEP

Bellego 6.00 - One of the most inconsistent riders of 2018. Tempting low average for 2019. KEEP

Wajtknecht 4.29 - Will continue to improve and has made great strides in 2018. A young Brit with massive potential. KEEP

Smith 2.00 - Doesn’t have the ability for Premiership speedway. Needs to concentrate on Championship & Conference league.

 

Riders I’d like to see at Swindon in 2019.

Jason Doyle

Matej Zagar

Peter Kildemand

Dimitri Berge

Stefan Nielsen

Let's hope so but I can see that any favourable decision by the council might be challenged by those who bought houses in the belief that the stadium was going to be some distance away.

If that happens there will be even more delay.

They can still change the track shape, as they do not need pp for that, but might have to hold fire on replacing any buildings.

Fantastic news, brilliant.   Stadia UK are always true to their word!  So all the infrastructure will be place perfectly coming tapes up 2019!!!

Sadly, having heard the bull$hit that the same company fed the public of Reading for 7 years - I doubt if anything will happen!

So Swindon are going to demolish their existing stadium before planning permission has been granted for a replacement, & they believe this will happen because Gaming International has told them it will. Didn't they also believe previous bollox spouted that a new stadium was already stored in a warehouse somewhere in Wales & ready to be erected within the next week or two, a couple of years ago? Then of course there were the recent "plans" showing a grandstand facing away from the track & a "stadium" that looked like an aircraft hanger with a couple of windows near the roof.I hate saying this, but RIP Swindon speedway.

They haven't said that they are going to demolish the stadium. They are reshaping the track to 300m's, no planning permission needed for that. It May be a long trip from the pits to the starting line tho', watch those 2 min's lad's.

The article says that the stands will be taken down when the expected planning permission comes through. The pits will also be moved. None of which affects work on the revised track shape to start immediately.

Lets not forget that the landlords will also want facilities for greyhounds to be in full working order asap!!

They are going to demolish the buildings on the home & back straight, that is demolishing the stadium to me. Also, it will leave the track completely exposed, can't see the local residents putting up with that can you?

Ronnie Russell said it will be similar to the Melbourne GP track. As I said previously I believe it was almost a “D” shape...recall it to allow for good racing. As many have said, the track can be changed even without any improvements to the “stadium”. A change to the Abbey track will only be a good thing IMO, a smaller track with wider straights will make for better racing.
