  1. Ok .. memory playing tricks on me
  2. The last one was v Swindon ...i think .. lets be honest the last 4 people who ran it lost money even when they won the league . cant see any sense in opening hardly any closed down track unless you like given money away .
  3. How on earth can speedway and Greyhound racing make a profit these days .. i am a fan of both sports and wish them all the best but if its based of profit it wont work .
  4. Have you been reading the whole topic .. its been explained why .
  5. Its amazing about ..50% still think its going to happen and still cheer and say great news when the latest lie comes along … not sure how many years and bull it takes for the penny to drop .. I bet Clark and co cant believe there luck how gullible these people are
  6. i'd be amazed if it got built in any climate
  7. Not as tough as a company who have no plans to built a stadium at all .
  8. Not sure Belle Vue were dealing with gaming international .
  9. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/18546394.abbey-stadium-construction-plan-not-good-enough-council-tells-developers/
  10. Not sure about that . Swindon fans loved doing well and loved winning the title it was still a big thing for the fans and the crowds would good because of that . Doing well and winning things will nearly always have a positive effect on crowd levels . Spending money on marketing and publicity with a crap team near the bottom is a incredible poor business model
  11. No its how you read it . What was wrong as has been shown .
  12. Nothing wrong with that at all . Thou Garrity is scumbag i expect if he was earning money from speedway i doubt he would have done this at this present time and it brings home that speedway riders are having no income . none of that means you should go out and rob people or that i sticking up for him in any way . Nothing stupid or anything to be outraged about in that post .
  13. In what way ? I have a feeling you wont you be able explain why and I will have to correct you on what you thought I meant .
  14. Someone you cant understand a simple point being made its amazingly stupid .
  15. When did I say it was ? or try to defend him just bringing up a simple point about Speedway riders in general not having any income ..try reading the post
  16. Well of course not .. but he was quite clearly desperate .. that's does not mean you should rob people or that Garrity is not the scum of the earth but on a General point speedway riders must be finding it really hard
  17. Garrity is quite clearly a scumbag no matter what . But in a odd way it shows the problems speedway riders are facing with no income .
  18. I doubt Wimbledon would be worried by poor ticket sales the television money is where the large part of the income comes from . Not look into why its been called off so early but worrying about ticket sales won't be it
  19. Rob McCaffery telling someone that they are trying to sound superior .. my irony meter has gone crazy
  20. You sure ? you know that stuff like that never happened in the old days
  21. I hope not Steve . I hope we get what we are not expecting
  22. in Swindon case its about 10 % ..even now they were poping champagne cocks when they got planning permission ...You do wonder when they will learn about Clark and Gaming int . What is the delay now ?
  23. Not sure about that Steve . I got it wrong but I would say it was 50-50 with opinion about Belle Vue
  24. Not a case of running speedway down . its just telling you how the sport is at the moment it's a fact .. your find it hard to find a fan who thinks otherwise . Yet again many of the reasons why you think Greyhound racing should close apply to speedway . a fact that is quite clearly lost on you . As I said stick to say Greyhound being cruel that can classed as a valid reason .
