The GRA don't actually own the Hall Green stadium, it was sold in 2014 to Euro Property Investments apparently for 3M. The greyhounds have a 15 year lease with a break clause after 5 years, so they are safe until then, unless they opt to get out earlier. Fortunately Perry Barr is owned by Birmingham Council so the GRA can't sell that one.

One of them is already "on the case" see the "like" on post 419.

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that speedibee is correct here . Mr Sandhu bought out Midland Sport Stadiums, at the time ,as far as I can determine there were just two directors Martin & his mother. The Sandersons & Mr Gilmour had resigned from the company,& Hans Kirimaar was never listed as a director of MSS. The departure of the Ochiltrees was a result of a major disagreement over the how the new owner wanted to run his business as far as I am aware.

Yes I saw that crash at Wimbledon in an Internationale Meeting. Brown tried to go found the outside of Fundin on the first bend but Ove didn't turn his bike at all and Ivor was left sprawled over the safety fence . (If my memory serves me well)

Here, once again we have a classic case of someone who is/has been involved in the promotion of the sport failing to grasp the real meaning and feeling of the phrase " the customer is always right". Having the facts has absolutely no relevance, the phrase is intended to remind anyone in business that regardless of the product they wish to promote/sell the most important point is to keep your customer happy. Unfortunately Jon Cook isn't the only promoter that fails that test , we can regularly read comments from various promoters that leave much to be desired on the PR front. It's been this way for many years unfortunately,but some of the present day promoters show no enthusiasm for change.

Security not so good at the BBC then? I thought that there was a big effort at present to make sure bombers were kept out of large public gatherings.

They very probably have, but we just haven't found out where yet.

Don't worry , your opinion doesn't count for much amongst those on this forum who can see the bigger picture.

Mildly Interesting Speedway Trivia...
Dave Jones replied to YerRopes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I remember when he popped a fridge out of the window of his hotel room in Pardubice on to cars parked below. Hang on a bit , I think that was floor nine -
The person who started the bird puns should get a warning , and told not to lark about in future.

You can say that again.

O K . If you say so.

Precisely.

Farewell means goodbye, so farewell to the abbey means that is the end. So 4 days after the meeting we get told the new stadium won't be ready for March 2016, and the new season would start at the existing stadium. If you believe that TR didn't know that in advance of Oct 11th then I think you are a little too trusting.
-
You obviously have a problem understanding my posts. Your reply is nothing more than a load of waffle,as I made it quite clear that my beef was with the farewell meeting and nothing else. If you think that everything was above board then perhaps you should get your dictionary out and check out the word farewell. Then you can decide if it applies to the current situation at Swindon Stadium. Or perhaps you just feel it necessary to do your usual protection job for the dodgy moves carried out by your promoter mates.

Loads of assumptions there , not one of them accurate. You have absolutely no idea of what I am thinking, or even the point I have been making,it's all about the fact that you can't handle anyone who holds a different opinion to yourself. Just so that you understand I will spell it out again for you. I have no issue with Swindon getting a new stadium, like everyone else I will be delighted when it is completed. My previous comments have been about the Farewell Meeting and the timings of the subsequent announcements regarding the delays with the proposed new stadium. Indeed the fact that the announcement that the new stadium was unlikely to be ready for next March came just four days after the supposed last meeting had been completed was very suspicious don't you think? Now we are told that the new season will start at the Abbey , so in the true sense of the word the farewell meeting was indeed a con. If you intend to respond , try sticking to the post instead of letting your aggression take over when you "go off " all over the place with stupid comments and make yourself look a total idiot.

Always thought he was off his trolley.

A short visit to Rome I believe . His most recent trip lasted 18 months I understand.

No he won't .. You obviously haven't got the ability to read and understand . My comments were always aimed at TR running a Farewell Meeting when it was obvious that the new stadium was never going to be ready for next March. Obvious that is, to many, but not you it would appear.
