ouch Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 With the information that’s been put out in the public domain, anybody that reaches the conclusion Mort/Gordon are at fault is either very very stupid or they have a chip on their shoulder about those two. In fact it’s probably both. Very embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Sorry Orion and pinny, but you have the attitude “you know best” and in spite of what was said as an alternative you both went on as if you were right others wrong. What we don’t know, unless I missed the headlines, what part did the speedway promotors association have in the final outcome. There seemed to be a lot of jealousy from some quarters, “the cheek of it all, someone getting the council to not only support a new stadium in the middle of housing, but to actually get them to pay for it, millions at that”. Maybe you two are of that class, after all, one of you shows location as Aussie, and the other in noodle land. Anyway, this is a Swindon thread, so as pointed out we are well off topic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing of the sort ..they ran the meeting they were ones in charge ..the track on the night was not fit for purpose and they were told that ..the buck stops with them ...must be a lot of stupid people out there because loads of people came to that conclusion . sadly because Chris Morton was a great rider for Belle Vue the gravy and chips brigade can't see that .

Rob Lee Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just thought I'd have a quick look to see how Swindon's new stadium was coming along, but I seem to have stumbled onto a Belle Vue slanging match thread. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would I be jealous of? Morton ended up bankrupt didnt he? Or so we were told? And lost everything? Im extremely jealous of that , haha! Morton made a right mess of it , however or whoever funded it, it certainly wasnt his money was it? And the non payment of rent , whos fault was that? What has my location being in Australia got to do with anything? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 16 hours ago, geoff58 said: get your facts right no money borrowed by b/vue speedway the stadium was council built and owned by the council !! b/vue speedway just rent it FACT !! In addition to the money put up by the MC Council a further sum of 600000 was borrowed and not repaid. This is fact and not speculation and our family has much lighter pockets as a result. There is far more to this story which is unable to be to be discussed at this time. It is possible that after all legal issues are exhausted that more information will be released.

A ORLOV Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Practice planned for wed, it has been mentioned that this is not open to the public, which is a blow as I was planning to watch the new riders practice and see how the whole team take to the shorter but wider track.

They won't want the public seeing the track rutting up because it has had no chance to settle. We will get to pay £18 for that honour the following night so stay patient! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Back in 1977 went to Bristol to see the return of speedway - first night it was, well afternoon I think. It was a shambles and vowed never again to go to the opening night of a new track (which is what Swindon is this year). Never been to one and not going to.

Sings4Speedway Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 If practice and/or the first meeting on the 11th goes wrong for Swindon the knock on effect could be catastrophic. The following two meetings are held on the Thurs & Monday of Easter weekend so big crowds must be predicted and if it all goes pear shaped that is a lot of unhappy customers to deal with.
