    Difference is that the council own the stadium, not Osborne. He is a leaseholder, nothing more. If the stadium lease came up, Matt Ford has said already he would form a consortium to get the lease. 

    I get that. But prime development land and a 'promise' from Poole Motorsports will tempt the council pocket...

    I think this statement has come out to stop the Bspl taking the licence off Ice and allowing someone else a chance . I think it is a way of saying ‘ keep it on ice, we now have a location sorted  but we just need more time’.

    Not that I believe that anything will happen.

    Spot on!

    If it was Theale you could give the team a name appropriate to its location and cultural identity, such as ... Reading Racers

    Maybe this is finally the stadium Osborne promised for Reading. Two birds with one stone..

    Man's a genius

    I just hope the BSPL have taken the Robins' licence off ice and removed Russell from any control - but somehow i doubt it!

    It has to be completed to satisfy planning  no stadium no final phase of houses yes it may close but it has to be fully completed first.

    What final phase of houses? The car park is being built on and the stand / sound barrier are far from complete - no services, no drainage and just the support for the barrier.

    Osborne played a classic "i need more funding to complete the stadium" and the previous SBC bent over..

    Surely, as it was so obvious, the penny dropped the moment what was announced came out...?

    There is a very good track, with a brand new stadium, in a town that has supported a Speedway team for decades in more than decent numbers...

    Surely all they now need is a promoter to run a Speedway team there...?

    Wonder why someone hasn't come forward? 

     

     

     

    You would have thought it wasn't too difficult to suss out wouldn't you?

    Whilst the licence remains with that git Russell, we aren't going to move forward.

    First job is to get him away from any association with Swindon Speedway and kill off the fake Swindon Motorsports sham.

    Given that the OP asked for those who could have been greats if they had committed to ride in Britain, I'll throw in Chris Watson who confined himself more to other motor cycle disciplines back in Aussie. In more recent times Rune Holta reached 4th in the World afaik, but could he have took it a stage further with UK experience?

    Tommy Nilsson might well be another..

    Or Mikael Blixt
