teaboy279 1,038 Posted January 14, 2019 Watching the crashes and cock up DVD, despite reading how close the houses were, I was shocked to see them with my own eyes. Honestly any optimism of a long-term home at the Abbey has all but gone for me. Really hope I am proved wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes But Cradley had closed when that happened, The stadium itself was just laying empty like Brandon is at this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odds On 373 Posted January 17, 2019 it must be nigh on four years ago that Rossitor stood with a plan of the new stadium for the press to shout about, no nearer to a resolve. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mafiarule 12 Posted January 18, 2019 And I know a former reporter made the same views on the new stadium and has now been banned by club. 12 months on and still no progress. Unless you count a few marker pegs on th centregreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHarris 390 Posted January 19, 2019 I wonder if the embarrassment still lingers from that "Goodbye to the Abbey" meeting a few year ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it, farces occur in speedway on a weekly basis. That one has been swept well under the carpet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
