I've never believed anything other than Speedway being an airtime filler particularly when Sky went big on live sport. In the summertime Sky had one hell of a lot of live airtime to fill so this sport was ideal. They made a success of it because the audiences were consistent and they didn't scrimp on production costs despite BT having their pants down on the uplink charges. Rain offs became a very expensive irritant particularly when mardi prima donnas refused to ride in not perfect conditions and stadium presentation became a bit of an eyesore (grass growing down the straights at kirky Lane and many tracks not being rrsed to clean the air fences and Sky banners) to the point when the budget was blown on footy it was easy to pay up the Speedway contract and save on production costs. Financially Sky and Speedway were doing each other a favour £1.1m a year to fill all that airtime was cost effective for Sky and for Speedway £1.1m a year was manna from heaven and some promotions couldn't even clean the Sky banners.

I think it's sensible to have one nickname for the combined team. See nothing wrong with them being called the Steelers.

Don't forget his plans to move Torquay United FC to a new out of Town ground!

Osbourne Leases Poole Stadium the council own the Stadium !!

Oh dear, they must be very bored. As if anyone actually buys a physical calendar anymore lol. Thought everyone just uses the one on their phone now. 

There is no denying about Osbourne- his history speaks for itself. Am I right in thinking he is an owner of Poole's Stadium? Concerning.... Who owns this proposed land near Swindon for the speedway? If planning permission is gained then if someone else has funds then they could use the planning permission to build the speedway track if Osbourne isn't interested in fulfilling.
