We have someone who wants to open the sport again in Swindon, but the Council are adamant they have no land available. Private land searches have also drawn a blank so far. Clarke Osborne continues to sit on what's left of the Abbey and let that deteriorate and not complete the new bits he threw up to enable houses in the car park. No doubt to eventually be allowed to demolish it for more houses. We are presenting our petition to Full Council on Thursday, but fully expect lots of lip-service and verbal support with no end product from the Council.

Bumpity bump... Just gone past 2,000 today

This track prep is garbage....

http://ww5.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?id=64 Hi all, A petition submitted by the Swindon fans group , Swindon Needs Speedway, has gone live this morning. It is intended to lobby Swindon Council to get GI to complete the Abbey Stadium work and identify land options for speedway and include it in their new Local Plan. Please sign and share

Swindon has a some houses, speedway and greyhound tracks, but no pits, sound barrier, amenitues in the new 'stand' or referee's box!

Saw a note on Facebook earlier to say former Eastbourne, Poole and Oxford rider Malcolm Ballard passed away on Saturday.

I'm under no illusions of the likelihood of them being complicit in this end result. They needed Osborne onside to complete some recent work in the housing estate. Osborne purposely held back on that to use as a bargaining tool. Once that was done, the speedway planning statement was released and the Council backed off.

Absolutely zero consequence or jeopardy for GI now. This is the last element of the planning left, they've ticked all their housing boxes. Swindon Borough Council have been played like a fiddle from day one.

https://www.swindon.gov.uk/news/article/1047/council_provides_update_on_abbey_stadium_development Stick a fork in it.... Council had their belly tickled from day one, as we all know.

It must be a local distribution issue and not Pinegen sending out late. Mine has arrived as regular as clockwork every week recently.

Terrible call...

GI have said greyhounds end "by the end of the year"

Let's hope it stays that way and he has no influence on the Council over the stadium's future.

Poole is firmly in Osborne's sights, no doubt about that

Classic Osborne... "Relevant updated land ownership position" is an interesting one and I assume relates to the L&G recent news

Got it. Cheers Updated drawing also submitted on the 10th, I see.

Do you have a link to the original please?

Last roll of the dice from.our old mate Clarkey boy

I'm flabbergasted that peolple are still referring to GI, by some flying pig miracle, building a new track as "positive news" We don't want these parasites to have any connection to the club whatsoever! Anyone worth their salt would refuse to attend and line that b****** Osborne's pockets and it would be a matter of time before he would be looking to put houses on the new land. If GI are our only option, I would rather we stay mothballed!
