Skidder1 7,637 Posted January 30 Olly Holt has been very supportive throughout with little snippets of support for SOS appearing quite regularly! Today's almost full page in the D.Mail is a great read! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 31 Brandon stadium has just been brought up in PMQ’s! The local MP asked Sunak if he backed the planning decision to turn it down was good. Sunak replied that it was and hoped to see stocks and speedway return to Brandon Stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a4poster 82 Posted January 31 Thank you Oliver Holt on the excellent article in the Daily Mail. Now as a thought, would't it be nice if he followed this up with an article about the going ons at Swindon? Perhaps the new proposed development at Torquay United and out-of-twon stadium by the same owners? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if there had been a campaign like at Oxford and Coventry then the Swindon story may have been told but sadly no such campaign ever surfaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a huge surprise yesterday, hopefully, instead of building lots of little brick walls on the site, Brandon Estates have just run into a massive one themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
