Built to last, those Fergusons. All the tractors at Sheffield believe belong to Graham the track curator who is a big lover of the old masse ferguson 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone should mention it to them...? Maybe someone should also mention to them that Speedway fans are actually aware of Osborne's record when it comes to Speedway tracks, and there is very little chance of anyone believing that he is going to do anything at all that benefits our sport. Unless of course it benefits him. And if he has suddenly realised that he can make money out of it he must be really kicking himself for closing all those tracks down! I just cant believe they think everyone is that gullible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toady 230 Posted December 26, 2022 It’s sad that there appears to be no fan organised opposition to the loss of the Swindon robins along the lines of Coventry or Oxford who have had plenty of positive support during their wilderness years Surely there must be plenty of people with the required skills and passion to drive this forward 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only presume Swindon Speedway isnt worth saving in the eyes of the majority of their fans and promoters.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are a joke. Haven't they sold the track equipment as well?. It beggars belief that they think people will will be taken in by their bull crap. Giving some fans false hope after the farce over the Abbey. I'm sure they have had a good Christmas Edited December 27, 2022 by Bald Bloke 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
