orion 7,608 Posted March 21, 2023 10 hours ago, noggin said: What a sad state of affairs this whole episode has been, a revamped shape track that was producing great Speedway, a top team who should have been able to defend their titles, now all hoovered up by other clubs, if by some miracle racing was to resume at the abbey (low flying pig alert) they'd have to start from scratch, if greyhounds are running then the owners are missing out on a revenue stream by ending Speedway. Swindon has a lack of leisure facilities as is and those who went to the Speedway are probably lost to the sport, and who is going to travel to this fictional new out of town stadium, the Abbey was easy for eveyone to get to. I have to admit Speedway rarely crosses my mind anymore, how many others are the same. Sad thing is Noggin Gaming have done how your feeling to most of us..Yet again part of the master plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
