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.

What an incredible indeed IMO outrageous comment to make!

It's what happened at Cradley: I am astonished that they haven't had a 'mysterious fire' at Brandon, or an Irishman with a bulldozer.

Would prefer you didn't put ideas into people's heads!

Yes But Cradley had closed when that happened, The stadium itself was just laying empty like Brandon is at this moment.

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.

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.

I wonder if the embarrassment still lingers from that "Goodbye to the Abbey" meeting a few year ago.  

I doubt it, farces occur in speedway on a weekly basis. That one has been swept well under the carpet.

But it wasn't a farce at the time, was it.

Maybe not, but it soon felt like one the following season to those of us that paid to see the big 'farewell'

Yes, but not a farce created by speedway which is what you seem to imply. How about a mention for StadiaUK.

That's a matter of opinion ..a lot of people at the time thought it  was ..and in time they  were shown to be correct
