Dave Jones 2,124 Posted December 5, 2015 I was having a go at one in particular who still hasn't got over 2010, and probably never will Stay quiet and be damned. Not usually an option you can get away with. Because the fans expected one and they got one. Why cancel it, and if the developers don't build the stadium there are some, like Davy, will argue he knew all along and they had no intention of holding one. NB Being a 'player' is a damsight harder than being a permanent critic. Critics are apparently never wrong (but don't achieve anything either). Loads of assumptions there , not one of them accurate. You have absolutely no idea of what I am thinking, or even the point I have been making,it's all about the fact that you can't handle anyone who holds a different opinion to yourself. Just so that you understand I will spell it out again for you. I have no issue with Swindon getting a new stadium, like everyone else I will be delighted when it is completed. My previous comments have been about the Farewell Meeting and the timings of the subsequent announcements regarding the delays with the proposed new stadium. Indeed the fact that the announcement that the new stadium was unlikely to be ready for next March came just four days after the supposed last meeting had been completed was very suspicious don't you think? Now we are told that the new season will start at the Abbey , so in the true sense of the word the farewell meeting was indeed a con. If you intend to respond , try sticking to the post instead of letting your aggression take over when you "go off " all over the place with stupid comments and make yourself look a total idiot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you intend to respond , try sticking to the post instead of letting your aggression take over when you "go off " all over the place with stupid comments and make yourself look a total idiot. My comments were in reply to tour usual 'chip on the shoulder' attitude to anything promoters, BSPA and sometimes me. You still think the situation is/was all a con, but I tried to explain what was probably the more accepted facts, and the dependance on info from the developer. As usual with matters BSPA, you think it was all a smoke screen, but recent statements have backed the position and it would appear that a deal is in place to switch tracks midsummer, everything else being equal. I am personally elated for Swindon and Speedway, that it looks like it is a runner and shows that the promotion, and or individuals, always had the intention to go ahead with it. Nice to note the Farewell meeting was held and the transition now will be hopefully seamless. Just pleased that there are many others, like those who were confident about BV, that had the confidence to believe what they were told and will now see a brand new stadium. Pity about the negativity that others bring to any situation. ......and now the thread is back to Swindon fans. My final word on this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously have a problem understanding my posts. Your reply is nothing more than a load of waffle,as I made it quite clear that my beef was with the farewell meeting and nothing else. If you think that everything was above board then perhaps you should get your dictionary out and check out the word farewell. Then you can decide if it applies to the current situation at Swindon Stadium. Or perhaps you just feel it necessary to do your usual protection job for the dodgy moves carried out by your promoter mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Jones 2,124 Posted December 6, 2015 Sometimes Promoters can be right you know. Farewell means goodbye, so farewell to the abbey means that is the end. So 4 days after the meeting we get told the new stadium won't be ready for March 2016, and the new season would start at the existing stadium. If you believe that TR didn't know that in advance of Oct 11th then I think you are a little too trusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer to believe that you are innocent until proven guilty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
