Providing that is real, it looks like the club themselves have now effectively waived the right to prevent any more houses being built and the stadium will no longer be built. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appears it's from the last SCB/BSPA meeting at the end of the month. The adver are aware & looking into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk127 1,359 Posted September 27, 2022 If this is the case why did Terry Russell not go public on it in the local press and be honest with the supporters and tell the truth for a change. Swindon fans have had enough lies and false statements. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orion 7,615 Posted September 27, 2022 Yet again not sure what is going on.But quite clearly a lot of people have been told the dogs will stop..This could get messy as as Tr can't really use this as a reason as Clark has already said its not true that the dogs are not closing.. The coming weeks are going to show who been telling the most fibs..This of course will let that scumbag Tomlinson off the hook . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we all know Osborne is blagging based on greyhounds trainers comments. TR just saying what's going on but the silence a month later is very poor from the club. I've always stuck up for them but to not say anything now is out of order. Greyhounds being closed means more rent for the speedway club I assume so have they shut the dogs to finish off the speedway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frigbo 518 Posted September 27, 2022 Popped up there today. It's a sorry site. Nice new road built where the pits once were though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TR should probably just take the track as it is without the stadium being built and ask for a much reduced rent. Osborne would probably find another excuse though.

The problem is that when they said work had started up there all they actually did was make the site completely unusable for speedway. Ripped the pits out and flattened the grass bankings to view on.
