noggin Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 How many actual hours of noise is there over a 12 month period, not a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 People still buy houses near major Airports. A speedway meeting typically last about 2 hours, roughly in those 2 hours there is 10 mins warm up in the pits 30 mins rider announcement and music 2 mins pit to gate inc gardening 15 mins racing. So in a typical Speedway meeting there is less than 1 hour of interrupted noise once a week/fortnight. Not a lot of noise really is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be even less noise this season while we have a minute’s silence before each match for ...... Poole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better late than never and it's never too late to savour deep irony. To get back to the point, whether the track was built on the original footprint or the revised one of a few yards away, anyone thinking there won't be serious noise problems is living in dreamland. And at that point I shall leave you all there. This is becoming a circular argument and being abused by those more interested in scoring points off others. Sweet dreams!

I looked it up several years ago, when they were doing the initial selling, and I'm pretty sure I did post it at the time. Do you have an attitude problem in real life or is it just on the internet? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You begin to see a pattern of behaviour in people. As for whether my approach here is different to my approach in life? Of course it is, I wouldn't let someone like you and several other forum members anywhere near me in real life. Ironically Swindon's my nearest track but it isn't the kind of place I'd want to spend to much time or money at. Not the nicest or best-informed of supporters, rather like Poole.

I very much doubt long standing loyal supporters like Grachan or any of the others including me who you have picked fights with in the past would be seen dead with you at the speedway, so don't flatter yourself bus-boy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered Grachan posting something similar before so I've done a quick check and found these 2 posts which confirm he did..

I've always been relatively positive about this happening, but once the developers start objecting then the slope gets more slippery. At the moment, literature online makes it clear that the stadium is right next door and lists it as a local amenity. One thing, I think, that Swindon have in their favour over clubs like Reading and Coventry is an enthusiastic and determined promotion, plus a lot of backing from the local government. If this does fall through I feel that there will, eventually, be another track built somewhere. I do wonder if they shouldn't be looking at options down that route anyway just in case. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thing about the link is that it no longer mentions the speedway as a leisure facility, whereas it did at the time of posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eM_Pe Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sadly the Swindon - Leszno test on March 16th has now been called off (apologies if that's not really news to anyone here). The 2nd leg on March 24th in Leszno is doubtful but still on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
