Last call for fans from all clubs to show Osborne and co for what they are by leaving a comment before it’s too late. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/plan-drop-speedway-requirement-stadium-150000718.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvLnVrLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAM0RR8Y7pBcg_MaN2IQ8dILpih11hLIwpifMhrDw6YrRzQznA0dT0ed1DosOaWoUIj01prDa9QI2X7tPIcV5nJAQ1KFUCsz2AAQ1zqW0vmBFd9ylkSgdk6WoMp2MMMu7Q7OwuL43g4KAzkPyCNyS2PCdYvhiRUrCA0wgOJWPRqcn

Spot on, it’s definitely working!

Did you enjoy those visits? Quite simply an exciting and entertaining team a good surface and an enthusiastic crowd (made up of all ages). I personally am not a fan of gimmicks give fans a place to stand, get food and a drink, it’s the racing experience first and foremost. Having witnessed plenty of dross over the years it was fantastic to have speedway back at Sandy lane an opinion shared by many others who bring along the next generation of young fans encouraged by Oxfords admission policy.This season we have the chance to see some of the top riders again on our circuit, watch speedway almost every week . It doesn’t get much better than that.

Usual old chestnut about admission charges, Everything else has gone up but for some people speedway promoters are expected to somehow absorb their increased costs.

To be fair it’s been like that at Oxford for the last two seasons in the championship, good crowds and top class entertainment, what’s not to like.

Have to agree with you… Birmingham showed plenty of fight there and I hope their fans repay Nigel tolleys efforts by turning up in their droves.

Of course they can. I don’t think anybody (SoS) is under the illusion that they don’t have that option. However as has been stated before any new application would have take full account of the inspectors decision around the stadium not being surplus to requirements and the many other issues highlighted by her

They haven’t for the past two years only when bsn are there.

Swindon fans should put their comments against Osbournes latest application and insist that the fly be night completes the whole stadium as the original planning permission here https://pa.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RWYWO9PT0EE00

He used the cash to buy Swindon from ADT auctions

Must be talking about eastville in the 1970’s?,Regular 12000 crowds when it ran I think

Who from Oxford has suggested that they would support or endorse that. I think you’re being a tad delusional about it all

No planning application in for the moto parc as yet so that can’t be it.

Perfect timing to hoodwink the council yet again to believe in this farce.Why wasn’t this released through Swindon motorsports if remotely true

Surely any potential future applications would have to take into account the inspectors reasons for refusal which were heavily weighted around the loss of the stadium with its established use not being surplus to requirements, and that the ‘benefits’ of the alternative provision do not outweigh its loss. With that in mind any alternative provision would have to be “better” than a 3G pitch and invariably cost BE even more money.

I guess as the owner they could do anything, but the costs must be mounting up so it really depends how deep their pockets are.

Oxford tried that with T’Rick and that didn’t turn out very well either way

Going by previous council decisions I think Osbournes request has a good chance of success !

Well there’s a surprise https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/24163955.application-drop-speedway-greyhounds-abbey-stadium/

I was under the impression that they had six weeks to appeal on points of law relating to the inspectors decision.

Does anyone know if Be have appealed the decision?

Spot on I put the blame totally at their doorstep.They continued to allow Osborne to sell off parcels of land over the years without any sign of a new stadium and never once put the required constraints to achieve that.

Your source would appear to be correct. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/24149760.swindon-speedway-major-update-promotional-license-town/

That’s interesting, It would suggest that they the other managers received some sort of reward otherwise they wouldn’t need to be tied down at all and would be singing from the rooftops.

Who cares… Many of the spectators will be young females.It is a positive and refreshing move by the promotion obviously echoed by Workington.
