Dodgy Tel announces he's found a perfect new place for Speedway, so it's OK to knock the Abbey down.

Dopey Swindon council fall for this, and allow the Abbey Stadium to be knocked down and houses built.

Tel Boy hits a snag and the perfect new stadium can't be built after all.

Swindon council say "never mind, you tried your best"

Osbourne hands a brown envelope each to Tel Boy and the Council leader.

Osbourne moves on to rinse and repeat at the next town.   

 

Whos given you this inside infomation ?

A man I met at the Reading Racino, who was asking for directions to Torquay United's Riviera Arena.

Via Milton Keynes and Bristol no doubt

From Swindon Motorsports website

The founder directors have invested capital to launch the company, employ the professional team, bring together the operating partners, locate a site, design the facility, and make a planning application.

The Board is keen to work alongside partners with a skill base and expertise in the management and promotion of multi-use leisure facilities. 

 

In addition, shares will be made available for purchase by individuals in due course. Further information on this will follow soon.

We are in discussion with various operating partners and will bring these

 forwards in the weeks/months to come. 

 

Our list of partners is not exclusive, and we are open to approaches from operators of motor sport and motor-oriented self-drive/ride facilities.

 
As a potential operator of motor sport I used the "contact us" button in November 2023, shortly after the news that a site had been identified. As yet I have had no reply.

I used the website "contact us" form a while ago to ask for directions to, and a fixture list for,  Bristol stadium, the most successful Speedway venue of the modern era.   Surprisingly I have had no reply either.

It's as if the "contact us" form goes nowhere.  Anyone else want to try it?

Mmmm 

I'm sure it won't happen. It's just that I used to drive past the Moto Parc on the way to Blunsdon and it would be the perfect place for a speedway track.

Someone should do it even if it isn't the last lot at Blunsdon.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Ooh, I feel a song coming on.

Imagine there's no Osborne
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to fib or lie for
And no Russell, too

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

I won't have a word said against the Bristol Superdrome.   It's the "Most successful Speedway venue of the modern era".

It says so here   https://swindonmotorsports.co.uk/team-%26-partners

interesting. Of the ten tracks mentioned in CO and TR, eight do not exist (or at least do not run speedway) anymore. Of the two that do still have clubs, one of them was shut down for a few years before reopening a year or so ago.

Imagine there’s no Speedway. It could happen to you. No Poole or Ipswich. And no Kings Lynn too.

So, 50 years ago is the modern era and it only lasted 2 years?

Also Eastville was sold to Tesco and Ikea..
