I went to the Ipswich meeting and it was the best one I've been to in years (thanks to the efforts of Russell, Osborne and Tomlinson!!) But all joking aside, the track was class and so many good races that night. Seems like it's carrying on throughout the season so I look forward to the local derbies when Rosco and Kilby and their financial backers save us!

Group announce intentions to bring Speedway back to Swindon | Swindon Advertiser If British Speedway give the licence back to TR then they are as bad as Osborne and TR himself.

Looking forward to this mug and Tommo knocking on my door during the election campaigning. Hopefully we also get to meet Clr Adams who really does truly believe that the stadium works are complete!!!

I reckon Doyley would have had Bomber eventually in heat 13 if Emil didn't block his run on the 4th bend. He was very quick last night.

That was a top night. Big crowd and a great meeting. Passing in most races. You can see why Woffy praised the track, smooth as you like. Made me feel even more gutted about the demise of my own team but its good to see Oxford doing so well. If only we had top league local derbies to look forward to. Nice to see a Swindon number 1 wrap the points up against Oxford though!!!

First trip of 2024 from Swindon . A fair few ex-Robins in action. Come on Ipswich!!

Him and that tool Cllr Adams are acting like none of this is down to them!! Completely deluded.

I don't think there is a chance in hell that Taylor Wimpy have built houses on a site that they shouldn't have yet. They must develop 100's of these sites a year. I suspect the BS is coming from Tomlinson and his cronies who knew all along that the planning permission wasn't reliant on a fully completed stadium despite what they said from day dot. They are now being challenged on it and are blaming others. Let's hope the rat is voted out this year.

They will end up with a brand new facility no further than a 45 minute drive from Torquay!

It's madness that people still believe it!!! I know of a couple of people who think its going to happen now. I would love to know what has happened in the past 10 years that makes them believe anything CO and TR say!!

Me and my mates are some of those who have travelled up from Swindon a few times. We are glad Oxford are back. But we always want the oppo to win! Unless its Poole and then its a tough call for us due to the rivalry in the top league we had for the last 10 years or so! A Swindon team at Oxford would never work. You wouldn't get enough travelling support from Swindon or enough Oxford fans attending the Swindon matches to make it viable.

Or if the 1st leg is a big win to Glasgow then he could be off to Rome before the 2nd leg happens.

I haven't been following this in depth but of course I wish Coventry all the best. Used to love my visits there to watch the Robins! I hear that Clarke Osborne's name has come up during the meeting and he's said that houses should be built as speedway is a dying sport or something along those lines. What a joke of a comment from a man who has formed Swindon Motor Sports to build a new all purpose stadium for the Robins to ride at!!!!! It's almost like he doesn't actually intend to do this!! This guy clearly gets a kick out of killing speedway clubs. Makes me want to see Coventry back on track more than ever now!!

Haha yes please!! But it will never happen whilst Gaming and Russell are involved. Over 1,000 Swindon fans at Oxford in April shows you that the appetite for speedway in Swindon is still there and I would love nothing more than to have the Oxford and Poole rivalries back. I'm only winding up the Poole fans anyway, I've missed that. To see any club getting big crowds in 2023 is good so fair play to them. What has happened at Oxford is amazing and have been there a few times since you reopened and I'm jealous every time. A Poole Oxford final this year would be one to watch although as a Swindon fan its impossible to know who you want to win!!! Hate both!!

I would guess Oxford get bigger crowds than Poole. And they are a bigger club.
