    Matt you make a very sound educated argument and I fully respect you for that.

    i think we agree SBC has been shafted by Gaming International but we are just the average man in the street and everybody said from the beginning that this would happen. You cannot blame the developer because ultimately there plan has worked, they had no intention of building the stadium.
    The council have let themselves be pushed around and bullied and for that reason they are 100% culpable.

    So the snow dome was never going to happen. If I go to buy a house I need to have finances in place before they will even consider me.

    This company may be very reputable but what it boils down to is the fact that it was pie in the sky.

    You cannot go into a project and say we are ready to start but by the way we are 80 million pounds short!

    Dress it up with jargon as much as you like. We were told at the start the new old stadium would not be demolished before the new one was operational. 
    With the developers previous record everybody with half a brain could see this situation happening.

    This was plainly a lie and SBC are 100% are at fault.

    As far as the snow dome how many thousands of pounds was spent on a feasibility study , planning etc by the council?

    Surely one of the first questions to be asked by the council is whether the developer has the money to go ahead with the project. If not then , as has been proved, it’s a complete waste of time. 
    That’s basic economics.

    So another much vaunted project in the hands of Swindon Borough Council is not going to happen. The much anticipated indoor ski slope.

    Along with the new football stadium,  which has been talked about for the last 30 years and  the renovation of the few historic buildings which Swindon has, it ain’t happening.

    What price the Speedway Stadium? You can release as many computer generated pictures you like.

    Scary stuff indeed.

    When the project was first discussed we were promised the old stadium would not be knocked down until the new one was built.

    Whats the chance of the old one closing and then there becoming lots of “unforeseen problems and delays“.

    This project is doomed, surely the council is not falling for this rubbish?

    This was always going to end up this way. The council/developers treat “normal” people like idiots.

    You buy a house near a speedway track and don’t expect any noise? 
    Why even take there views into consideration? Why have they become a priority?

    Just an excuse to stop the development.

    Was the same as you Steve, was a young teenager at the time and was absolutely devastated, agree Ashby was a true gentleman and could have put Wilson in the fence but didn't.Remember being very quiet on way home. Still gives me a heavy heart now thinking about it!

    Leaving in their droves.......really?

    Got the evidence to support that statement?

    And no; I most certainly do not read Blairite-loving @rsewipe such as The Mirror.

    And look at this......they are now AGAIN on the EU Subsidy bandwagon and poncing even more; for actually producing LESS!

    http://www.fwi.co.uk/business/1800-uk-farmers-apply-for-eu-dairy-reduction-scheme.htm

    VOR?

     

    Fact,one in ten dairy farms have shut in the UK in the past three years.

    My facts are also based on actually talking to farmers,do you?

     

    As I already said most farmers are not rich land owners but are tenants who are seriously struggling to make a living.

     

    Your small minded view of them all being rich land owning gentry is so stereo typical.

     

    I suppose you also believe that all northerners wear a flat cap, smoke woodbines and have a whippet?

     

    Or maybe the small man syndrome perhaps? A man who just seems constantly angry and demeans anybody who doesn't share his aggressive narrow minded view of the world?

    Farmers moaning about having to fill in paperwork?

    Not that difficult is it......in order to ponce your subsidies? To keep the new tractor in the field? To keep the '16 plate Range Rover on the drive; or within your acres of land? In order to hide behind the exploitation of immigrants/migrants - being used illegally on a pittance of a wage.

    Poor, hard done by farmers. My heart truly bleeds purple p!ss.

    It shows you know nothing about farming and knowknow no farmers. So where do you get your extensive knowledge?

     

    The Daily Mirror perhaps?

     

    Most farmers in this country are tenents , are not landowners and I can assure you that they are leaving in there droves as they cannot physically make it pay.

     

    Yeah come back with your stereo- typical, small minded comments but you obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about.
