. The one hope is that the Council stick to their guns and refused to budge on the issue of a replacement facility. Sad that people like Clarke Osborne are allowed to walk on this earth.

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.

Clarke Osborne is a parasite. Although Torquay Utd fans would probably call him far worse,

If you read the whole article, it confirms that Poole Stadium is owned by BCP Council and only leased to G.I.. As Matt Ford states he is in constant discussion over the longer term future of Poole Pirates with Clark Osborne and the Council, the latter wanting Poole Speedway (as the 2nd largest supported club in the area after AFCB) to remain in the Town.

Alternative sites are being looked at for the longer term while Pirates remain at the stadium on an ongoing year-to-year rental basis.

Thou this is different with the council owning the stadium we have heard all the other stuff before. The council will do what makes them most money and that will be building houses  on a prime bit of land. As we seen altrenative sites are like rocking horse poo

BCP council are morally & financially bankrupt.

Unfortunately I believe that you are correct in your assessment of the situation.

No room for a Speedway Track

It must be indoor as it has a roof, the straights must at least  10 yards long. 
 

it’s the closest Swindon is going to get to having a team, is the cycle speedway track down at the oasis still there.

Sent an e mail to these arseholes and have called it as it is. Cannot wait for a reply.

Agree but someone needs to call these idiots out and ask how they can continue to target speedway tracks when I suspect not one has ever been to a meeting or knows anything about the sport. Heads up arses and nothing of any substance but no doubt enough readies to pass a few brown envelopes to local decision makers who bow to the biggest cheque book. No different to any other housing developer, liars, cheats and corrupt businessmen who claim to have the interest of the local community but are only worried about the bottom line. No such thing as affordable housing, it is smoke screen and mirrors or to put it bluntly, most building firms talk utter bollocks to weak councillors who you would not piss on if they were on fire.

So this is a proposal for the development of the old speedway/greyhound stadium? 
Meanwhile any news on the proposed “new” speedway facility?
