thecoombdog 2,367 Posted October 7, 2022 Just listened to the Tomlinson interview from yesterday. Still no answers to what has actually gone on but at least he's having a dig at Gaming. Its a toned down version of what I would have expected from the club if they were distraught at going out of business but at least he's saying something. Will be very interesting to see if SBC stick to their guns re planning permissions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Far more efficient and saves people having read all the moans. Edited October 10, 2022 by Chris116 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orion 7,641 Posted October 11, 2022 As a management team we are in regular dialogue. Terry Russell, Alun Rossiter, Steve Park and myself catch up most weeks and we are simply waiting and watching at this stage.” that was 2021 .. But somehow now . "We don't own the club, and we haven't worked for the club since 2019. We've known as much or as little as anybody else has known. Classic , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 923 Posted October 12, 2022 I dont know all the ins and outs like the Swindon fans but firstly im gutted what has happened Swindon are a great club with a great history and its a disgrace GI were allowed to close down the stadium by stealth under a tissue of lies. I will certainly miss my trips down there always was one of my favourite away days. Hopefully a new facility can be found and we see the club return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCookie 753 Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) A ) Why are they appealing for a brand new motorsport venue as though someone might be throwing one away? Surely anyone connected to motorsports in the area has some awareness of what's happened at Swindon already? B ) Why are they getting involved with Gaming International to find a new track? The exact same people who have just driven them from their perfectly good home? Edited November 9, 2022 by JCookie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
