This would be laughable if it wasn't so sad... The front of messrs Russell and Osborne seems to have no limits. Have to laugh that the rationale is the lack of multi-use options at Blunsdon. Err...are you not supposed to be building a new stadium? Maybe, just maybe, adjust the plans to accommodate those options? Full of rubbishe...

Really poor ride by Holder there.

I thought ref got that one correct. Musielak entered the turn on the kerb and finished near mid-track

Yeah. He was a joy at Swindon. Great attitude...

Honking decision!

Precisely! This is how ridiculous these shi-sters stories are.

Terry Russell is getting such an easy ride..

Not impressed by the Speedway Star article this week about this. Barely scratched the surface, with little or no insight or investigative challenge to what has been going on.

Ashby was brilliant at his best. He scored a 12-point maximum in the first 6 meetings i went to.

Dull....

Popped up there today. It's a sorry site. Nice new road built where the pits once were though!

Terry has played an 'interesting' role in this throughout...

News coming through that former rider and Halifax promoter Eric Boothroyd passed away last night, aged 95.

This Chris Mackett, I assume? https://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/1813/chris-mackett

My first live meeting for 4 years and it was pretty decent to be fair. 2 full strength teams, close score throughout and some decent racing at times. And to top it all neither Poole nor O*ford won lol. What's not to like?

I recall Lee winning the Adver Superstars meeting at Swindon in '83. He broke the track record whilst pulling wheelies down the straights on the last couple of laps of one heat. Such skill...

Attila Stefani rode for Oxford as Mark Frost.

Exactly. The damage is already done. They can ride things out as they already have the financial foundation in place from the early batches of houses. I'm just flabbergasted it's taken so long for so many to realise as Stadia Uk / Gaming International have such a history of this at other places.

All part of the GI plan. The longer they drag it out, the more the interest dies. The days of the initial passion and mobilisation in the town against the first redevelopment announcement are a distant memory...

Haha... I'm bound to have missed at least one..

Thanks. Glad you found the site of interest, Iain. Schumi and I try and keep it ticking over as best we can.

So many, for different reasons. Swindon complete home and away 1974 - my first season... My complete World Final collection Thankfully, i have never seen a fatal accident live, but i do have several programmes from meetings where there was a tragedy. Teo, Dave Wills, Denny Pyeatt ans Kevin Holden being some examples.
