The Cheese Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Featured as the main report on BBC Points West this lunchtime. Mainly focused on the opposition to the plans speaking to the resident next door to the site and someone worried about the impact on the crematorium. Also some words from Steve Park who basically said if this doesn't work out then it's unlikely there's anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funnier with the added ignorance. Best race Track counts for nothing if not enough fans are turning up.( have no idea if this is the case though).

They also showed that report on BBC South Today on Friday I think it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The planning app for Studley Grange is in the consultation phase until next Thursday. There are currently a LOT of objections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the betting the campaign to blow it all up has been instigated by certain dark forces at arm's length it also noticeable that there's been lots of quotes of "if this doesn't work that's it Speedway here is done forever, never coming back" everything seems to be pointing towards a token effort being set up to fail.

Regarding the quotes of “if this fails, Speedway is over, and it will never return,” they were an unusual statement to make on a local BBC news report by someone who was supposed to be advocating for the proposed development. However, given the negative tone and the fact that the individual was not particularly enthusiastic about the project, it is understandable why you perceive this as a token gesture. Of course, knowing Osbourne, it is a very fair observation. Nevertheless, the negative responses from the local residents of Wootton Bassett appear to be genuine when considering their misinformed comments about Speedway. Additionally, there are numerous applications for house building in their area, so it is likely that they are also concerned about the potential impact of the Speedway stadium. In conclusion, the speedway public at large should register their support using the link posted above. This initiative primarily aims to secure the Abbey Stadium and prevent any further permissions until the fate of the Studley facilities is determined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Just registered my support for Swindon Speedway! Good luck! Moreover, I read some of the comments that object and there are some right tools in this world aren’t there 😂 someone wrote, the practise sessions will be loud and noise pollution, hmmm when did England have practise sessions 😂 someone else wrote the travellers site will be impacted… are we actually putting travellers before locals who want to see speedway… they are travellers… they can 1. Travel somewhere else. 2. Choose to live in a house and stop avoiding council tax. These must be the same numptys that say if you are against immigration you are racist 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
