No idea

Swindon Speedway 2013 Director Steve Park has submitted a letter to SBC supporting the demolition of the Abbey Stadium! He claims rejection of the plans "will end any possibility of a return of speedway to Swindon" - bizarrely, he earlier claims that Studley Grange is "currently making progress through the planning stages." So, which is it, Steve? Will the weird logic of failure to remove the only speedway track in the locality really end all hope? Or are you delivering a new track? I'll let others speculate on what a speedway company director could possibly gain from the loss of the only speedway facility... https://pa.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=T2SDBXPTIS200

Yes. These are Gaming International's leisure box-ticking proposals for the Abbey - alongside 130 houses (with 8 'affordable') proposed by L&G. The fantasy plans for the "new" facility are still in a "consultation" statua with Wilts Council with no date set for a decision yet.

I think it will be easier for CO to claim that it's impossible for Speedway to survive in Swindon.

This might get you started with post 1965 clubs. https://wwosbackup.proboards.com/board/71/teams

No. Started in Division 2 (1968-1970)

The 'Knockers Out' cup draw

Wow! Speedway fans never fail to amaze me

With a tip 😀

£30 message video from Cameo, using paper pulled from a leftover Xmas gift bag in Linda's bedroom. This is bad, even for speedway 😀

Started listening but got bored pretty quickly - lots of words with little substance. Godfrey was far from convincing.

Sad news coming through that former Sheffield number one Bob Valentine passed away this morning.

What a silly comment. As a Swindon fan, I sincerely hope your team don't end up where Osborne has put ours (amongst others!)

Osborne will be well advanced in his conversations with them.
