Park made a big deal about being Swindon speedway’s director both in person and in writing. However, he only became a director in 2017 and probably had little or no knowledge of speedway. Now he claims to be an expert just in time for a big payday!

You’ve summed it up perfectly. Everyone can clearly see the park’s long-standing agenda: the same tired narrative as Osborne about being unviable at the Abbey but somehow viable at Studley. And we all know how that is going to end.

Fyi https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4nqlzndqqo

Locals in Swindon are also fighting with developers etc over regeneration in that area and the Oasis itself. Regrettably a Speedway track would never be permitted there.

Park’s submission suggests your conclusions are correct. Strangely, it coincides with the ramping up of the campaign against the demolition of the Abbey. Why would someone not personally involved in development, presumably having nothing to gain, want the stadium demolished? Park’s involvement was solely with the speedway promotion, so the fate of the Abbey should be irrelevant unless…

Leave him alone. You do not have to read or comment on anything he posts. As has been said above, just ignore him if you so wish.

Spot on; his luck has got to run out sometime.you would think?

RIP Terry, thanks for all the good times at Swindon as regards Studley Grange. It was never going to happen anyway, so there will be no effect. Speaks volumes that Motorsports couldn’t even acknowledge one of their directors passing.

As far as I know, it came as a surprise to Kevin Boothby, as I don’t believe it was his decision, but the speculation around finances must be a worry that could affect the future of Oxford.

Yeah, more worrying for speedway is the fact that the lease was taken off Kevin Boothby the leaseholder at Oxford, and Arc taking it on it could happen at Oxford.

Yes, same owners as at Ipswich Spedeworth, who run stocks.

Of course they will bring forth Poole motorsports… oh wait a minute.

That’ll be no hope then, as they haven’t “stuck to any guns” since the beginning of this whole sorry saga. Agree about Osborne though.

Another negative article about Oxford Stadium in the mail. Not a good look, even if it has no substance. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/25737397.heavily-indebted-oxford-stadium-misses-key-accounts-deadline/

Correct, I believe he has leukemia

Absolutely, I'd like to think that the councillors on Rugby Council will be all over this slight of hand from Brandon Estates, completely ignoring the return of Stock Car racing and using the Osborne method of skullduggery. Remember though that "free gear" is now in charge, and Rugby Council’s planning department recommended the previous scheme.

Spot on just remember the speedway demographic

I applaud the efforts of the people behind Swindon Needs Speedway, and the obvious time and effort that has been put in. However, I believe they are missing out by not engaging directly with some of the more informed people on this forum instead of relying on a local campaign.

Your wish has been granted

Remember the same system that worked wonders for you back in 2023?

Bad night…He scored 7+1 and that score included a fall while leading in one heat and then passing Masters in another. Definitely not backing off like Kurtz. Swindon were already in the playoffs, so he could have backed off with an important meeting coming up for him, but no, he just rode like he always did no conspiracy theories here, just facts.
