With the amount of money they borrowed it would be hard to put a foot wrong regarding the whole stadium and track, but of course they did.

With the information that’s been put out in the public domain, anybody that reaches the conclusion Mort/Gordon are at fault is either very very stupid or they have a chip on their shoulder about those two. In fact it’s probably both. 

Very embarrassing.

Sorry Orion and pinny, but you have the attitude “you know best” and in spite of  what was said as an alternative you both went on as if you were right others wrong. What we don’t know, unless I missed the headlines, what part did the speedway promotors association have in the final outcome. There seemed to be a lot of jealousy from some quarters, “the cheek of it all, someone getting the council to not only support a new stadium in the middle of housing, but to actually get them to pay for it, millions at that”. Maybe you two are of that class, after all, one of you shows location as Aussie, and the other in noodle land.

 Anyway, this is a Swindon thread, so as pointed out we are well off topic.

Nothing of the sort ..they ran the meeting they were ones in charge ..the track on the night was not fit  for purpose and they were told that ..the buck stops with them ...must be a lot of stupid people out there because  loads of people came to that conclusion . sadly because Chris Morton was a great rider for Belle Vue  the gravy and chips brigade can't see that .

Just thought I'd have a quick look to see how Swindon's new stadium was coming along, but I seem to have stumbled onto a Belle Vue slanging match thread.

Jealous? What would I be jealous of?

Morton ended up bankrupt didnt he? Or so we were told? And lost everything? Im extremely jealous of that , haha!

Morton made a right mess of it , however or whoever funded it, it certainly wasnt his money was it? And the non payment of rent , whos fault was that? 

What has my location being in Australia got to do with anything?

In addition to the money put up by the MC Council a further sum of 600000 was borrowed and not repaid. This is fact and not speculation  and our family has much lighter pockets as a result. There is far more to this story which is unable to be to be discussed at this time. It is possible that after all legal issues are exhausted that more information will be released.
