Swindon Robins 2020

[thecoombdog 2,367]

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.

A better idea would be to clear out moaners like old bob. Far more efficient and saves people having read all the moans.

Have you thought of a move Bob?.. Margate, Ramsgate, Westgate

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 ,

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.

Sensitivity not in your vocabulary then? Or is it just ignorance?

Blimey can imagine Oxford Reading and Bristol are within 45min drive.

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?

"“We’ve brought together an experienced professional team to assist us,"

If and when they find a suitable location (and let's see if they can find one quicker than anyone in Cradley could) they will put out another experienced professional team to try to find 7 more riders that the country doesn't have to populate the available team places.
