Sir Philip Davies is also Chair of Star Sports Group. They were (allegedly) one of the parties interested in buying the Abbey Stadium, but were put off by being given a valuation by the stadium owner, which was over double the actual value quoted in the planning docs which have been submitted.
Swindon does...
Problem is, dear old Mr Osborne has priced out any interested stadium buyers by asking for over double the valuation he quotes in his own planning application!
Spot on. So much is made of alleged lack of 'viability' when in truth, viability is a rare commodity in most sports - the vast majority of football teams are losing bucket-loads of money.
Most recent speedway track losses are because the sport / stadia are seen as an easy target for rapacious developers.
I agree. My experience of Swindon fans getting mobilised is a challenging one. There's still plenty of interest (petition over 2.300 signatures, social media groups very active) and they all want the sport back - until they have to actually do something to help make it happen!
The sport's governing body are dragging their feet and doing next to nothing to help fight to resurrect these clubs or even participate in the ongoing battles.
The counter-argument could be that plenty of these had larger fanbases than some of those that currently still operate and therefore they are of more benefit to the sport in general.
Plus Milton Keynes and Torquay United. They'll play every card going, so it's critical to get Council and MP hearts and minds on your side and paint a very clear picture of their back-story.
Osborne and Lewis are both Directors of Steel Life Group.
Also, are you aware they set up a 2nd Poole Motorsports company in September this year? Poole Motorsports (No2) LTD.
This one has Osborne and Lewis in it, whereas the original Poole Motorsports was Osborne only.
