It wouldn't surprise me at all. Osborne gone doesn't automatically mean things will be any easier A positive way to look at the situation is that whatever happens next Swindon Speedway can't be in a worse situation than it is currently, but he will still be "gone".

chun Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 It’s hard to find sympathy. Someone so obsessed by money that they want to lie and deceive and take away a pastime so treasured by many. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading was also leased and I believe the land is now owned by Prudential unless someone knows otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Poole element is out of the way of the Receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope, before they closed his coffin, they stuffed his mouth with garlic and drove a stake through his heart (or where his heart should have been). Anyway, if the grieving bride-of-Dracula, Mrs O, is liquidating things, is this the time for the BSPL to get together and buy Swindon stadium?

Problem is the BSPL don't have £500 in the coffers let alone £500k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
