    The bit that I really dont understand is that TR says dogs are stopping... CO says they arent... but they are both named as directors of the new company so the remedy should be simple... "Hey Tel, it's not true that the dogs are stopping, I dunno what people are talking about." "Oh ok Clark in that case there is no reason to stop running Speedway at The Abbey, I'll carry on". "Yeah you do that Tel, cos we love Speedway, you silly billy". " Ok cheers Clark. Just one thing, why have we set up a new company to find somewhere to run Speedway when there is apparently no reason to stop at The Abbey?" "Come on Tel, that's just to keep the fans guessing, you dont think we're going to be honest with them after all this time do you?"

    Precisely!

    This is how ridiculous these shi-sters stories are.

    Was at the Isle of Wight last night, went a long way to put my faith back in speedway, Barry and martin understand the importance of the fans, great slick show geared towards the fans, meeting was marred by a horrific crash involving Chris mackett and Tim Curnock which resulted in a meeting being abandoned and the air ambulance being called , hope the guys are ok but that aside it is a fantastic slick show and very good value for money 

    This Chris Mackett, I assume?

    I recall Lee winning the Adver Superstars meeting at Swindon in '83. He broke the track record whilst pulling wheelies down the straights on the last couple of laps of one heat. Such skill...

    Slightly deviating, there have also been a number of riders who raced under false names.

    There was George Snailsham whom rode for Ipswich under the name of Tich Read

    Birmingham also had a rider who for several years rode as Lionel Watling, although his real name was James Goldingay.

    Belle Vue's Louis Lawson was another who used an assumed name - I used to know what it was, but can't remember it now.

    Anyone think of others?

    Attila Stefani rode for Oxford as Mark Frost.

    I would say they made enough money from the first batch to sit and wait a few years for the site to become a dump and then re-apply for planning permission for houses. No one on the council give a flying F about sport or leisure in Swindon.

    Good effort by everyone on Monday and it has got a fair bit of coverage in the media so if G.I still remain silent then that will tell everyone who still holds some hope that they should give up. 

    Exactly. The damage is already done. They  can ride things out as they already have the financial foundation in place from the early batches of houses.

    I'm just flabbergasted it's taken so long for so many to realise as Stadia Uk / Gaming International have such a history of this at other places.

    So many, for different reasons.

    Swindon complete home and away 1974 - my first season...

    My complete World Final collection

    Thankfully, i have never seen a fatal accident live, but i do have several programmes from meetings where there was a tragedy. Teo, Dave Wills, Denny Pyeatt ans Kevin Holden being some examples.
