  1. Suicide for Oxford to run at any level above Junior Nl etc ... Surely lessons have been learned from recent history ... Talking about running before your walking
  2. Its been sad from start to finish from the club ....Still not one person will say how it is or question it .
  3. i think most would think the polar oppo ...Speedway never done enough to attract the Younger fans that is quite clear by the ave age of the crowd hence why speedway is on its knees .
  4. Yes .. Even after this time you still got a % of swindon fans who are looking forward to the 2023
  5. Maybe he should just qualify if he's that good .. just a thought
  6. Cant understand why someone would put a meeting on with top riders so a big crowd will watch .. you needs them !
  7. Of course we know your age group and preference ....Your point was that Tv and Du riders somehow dictate the fixture list and only fixture fillers were ran in oct in the old days .. quite clearly none of that is true
  8. Easy it happens in loads of sports and is accepted by the modern fan with no problem at all as the rules are known before hand .. only oap's who are stuck in a time warp cant understand or accept it . Yet again to show how stupid your point is the Pl has no Tv coverage but still has play offs and is still running in oct ... at the end of the day your just the standard old fan who wants no play offs want a one off world final wants to bring back the a Golden Helmet and to bring back second halfs etc
  9. ??? what does that matter .. without tv important league matches and Ko cup finals were still ran in oct .. hardly end of season fixture fillers. People points about Tv are utter garbage . Live Tv or No live Tv the season has always ran to the End of Oct ... how good the 16 lapper etc were has nothing to do with that point
  10. What sport would think it would be better with no tv ? No one cared about the tactical ride and it was much better and fairer than the old ts rule that every figure showed you gave you more false results where was the live tv then ? . ..Nearly every other sports have plays offs including ones that are not on tv they are a massive plus and are part of todays modern sport . Also the sport has always ran to the end of oct and has always had important meetings and cup finals .... so yet again little to do with tv ...
  11. Yes they never had cup finals in october in the old days did they ... Du riders are needed one because there are enough riders in the first place and two i doubt if many could be a pro rider without two teams ....nothing to do with greed .
  12. The timing of the building work is perfect from Gaming int ...Means that Swindon wont know if the work will done in time meaning they have to say they can't run in 2022 . Another year then go's by and people lose even more interest before they find another reason next year .
  13. As suspected the Stadium has no chance of being ready for 2022 and using sections that are not fit for purpose ... Another Gam int con
  14. Why dont you wait to swindon are racing at the new track before you get your i told you so comments in ...... From what the builders have been saying i am not sure its going to be as straight forward as some people are thinking .... Yet again people getting carried away are putting far to much trust in Gaming int . I have a feeling this has a long way to run yet .
  15. Fuss over nothing, Boro were always going to come top and pick Wolves
  16. Mainly because most fans are between 50 -70 ....maybe the way forward is to charge for the toilet ... maybe 2 pound a piss ...clubs would rake it in .
  17. Spot on .. i think matches seem better years back because the crowds etc were bigger giving a better atmosphere
  18. There are crashes that make you just want to turn the tv off and that was one of them ...i really did fear the worst and thank god they got up .. scary
  19. One thing this shows is how important Greyhound racing can be to Speedway still . Its given a chance for the stadium to open and then allow speedway to be ran in it . Just go's to show how crazy that anti Greyhound nut job at swindon who trying to shut the dogs down saying it would help speedway was
  20. Yea we are going to start work next May so you can't used the stadium for another season .....''This is great news for the club and we look forward to 2023 season in a brand new Stadium . We would also like to thank Clarke Osborne , Justin Tomlinson and Gaming int for there Outstanding Contribution in turning a dream into reality ''
  21. Dont matter how much they pay for it if no one is willing to promote it plus is can be used for other events ... The bottom line Morton and Gordon nearly ended Belle Vue speedway and left with a black mark against there name
  22. And even more extraordinary nearly closed the club the next year
  23. People to quick to blame speedway in general but the bottom line this was just a poorly ran business, speedway club or no speedway club
  24. No point .. he comments on the facebook swindon fans saying that he can't get hold of anyone or that its been sign off he cant do anything about it . He's been a complete let down to the fans even thou he was warned by them about about GI when the project started and they have just walk all over him and now he has no power over them bar saying they cant built any more houses .. Just waiting for the final bs from him telling us he will search for a new site for us what of course he won't
