    This situation seems to get more odd as time goes on, can't imagine how frustrating it is for Swindon fans knowing there's a perfectly good track and stadium there. 

    Russell saying it wasn't financially viable made no sense. There was no attempt to sell the club, attract new investment or even lower the costs by dropping down to the Championship where at least they'd be guaranteed some big crowds against Oxford and Poole. It was just that's it, we're done. To then team up with Osborne to look for a new site makes it even stranger given his history and reputation, you wouldn't even consider that unless you're a complete mug which I don't think he is. 

    Spot on Cheese .. The thing that makes me laugh or cry .. Who  has ever heard of someone putting you out of business and making your asset virtually worthless but then  setting up a company the next day with the same people . its just insane .

    Swindon Fans don't want Osboune or Russell running the club or the ones looking or not looking in there case for a new site . Russell needs the Licence taken off him with immediate effect .

    Ditto.

    He said: “You can see at the top of the pictures the new grandstand being put up opposite the old one. And the arches will be the pits for the speedway teams.    The tory bloke has idea has he ?

    “I’m very pleased to see the progress that’s being made – and I think it was a very good decision by the council to give planning permission that insisted the stadium was rebuilt before more houses can be built nearby.”    why ? what good has it done anyone  If Speedway is not going to take place anymore  and Greyhounds meeting don't have anyone watch it anymore what was the point of forcing anyone to build it .

    He can quote whatever rhetoric he feels appropriate but still doesn't hide the fact the good folk of Swindon were told a pack of lies for a number of years now with false promises.

    Not sure what he's on about . Speedway only runs one a week on a Thursday as a rule between March and Oct .. So easy to fit in and any rent money  from the speedway on top of the Greyhound money is a bonus and better than nothing , 

    From the speedway point of view a club a  of Swindon support have a better chance than most of breaking even . The bottom line is Clark has stopped Speedway so he can build houses just like he always wanted to

    No rain forecast for Wednesday.

    14. We can do this! Harris is good at Poole. Basso hot and cold. Tarasenko never been there. Brennan hot and cold. Reserves not good.

    We have a chance. Glasgow clear favourites but I would have given an arm and leg for 14 defeat after 8 heats.

    Same old Shov..the other team are clear fav when clearly they are not . Can't believe he never  said thar rr makes Glasgow Stonger

    Oh yes, & if i remember correctly it must have been an early flight for him, as he had to leave the meeting before the finish .Which was a shame :)

    Direct fight from to Poole car park to Rome lol.  Best ever post is the next time cov hammered Poole at home..and someone had  Shov super imposed in Poole Harbour. Still makes me laugh now.

    Maybe the Witches will go one better in 2024 going by the results of the recent premiership winners 

    2021 Peterborough beat Belle Vue in the final

    2022 Belle Vue  beat Sheffield  in the final

    2023 Sheffield beat Ipswich in the final 

    So who are Ipswich going to beat in the final in 2024 ?

     

    Not sure there are anymore teams left to beat.

    A guest rider is entitled to payment and praise for the points they score but nothing else, league winners medals should only go to the riders who are in that teams official one to seven regardless of whether they are fit to ride or on the injured list.

    If it was me, I would have felt embarrassed about getting a medal for one guest appearance, but maybe it shows just how much some of these modern riders really don’t care about which body colour they are wearing anymore.

    Can you imagine a scenario back in the day where Sam Ermolenko would guest for Cradley Heath in a play off final, help them win the league and then actively celebrate with them? I don’t think so.

    If the money was decent of course he would of.

    Amazing comeback from a weak Sheffield side  due to losing riders..Would have won with ease with a full side .Ipswich fans have spend the whole final build up moaning and groaning  about everything rather than worrying about the meeting . really sour fans and sour losers . What's more funny is how they were on about Lambert being a bad loser the other night.. I bet he's laughing his head off tonight.

    Why have you just ignored what he’s just put and instead carried on with your narrative? Orion READ what people actually write ffs. Everyone knows he joined Kings Lynn they’re not stupid but Kings Lynn are irrelevant here. The point is he made those comments whilst wearing a Guy Nicholls sponsored race jacket. 

    When people apply that he only  comes back to ride in the plays off  its not irrelevant if  he joins the bottom side . so quite clearly it has to be explained . Maybe try to take own advice . 

    As i said Before Guy Nicholls logic makes no sense ,. Lambert cant say what he thinks of the track and the ref  1 Because  Lambert only rides a few meetings a season 2 . The track  was the same for everyone . 3 he puts money into the sport .
