Does not mean that speedway will return. The way I read it is that the prize money for dog racing is going up and the pay for trainers. I maybe wrong but it doesn't say anything about building a new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium is obviously going to continue to operate , the speedway track is still there & being well maintained from the photos I've seen ,so why shouldn't we expect an announcement regarding the Robins returning in 2022? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Not a dog fan, but dont think that many dog meetings ahve a crowd nowadays , they are staged and streamed online . So no aor very limited spectator facilities needed. As for the speedway - how on earth does anybody in their right mind think that the folks in their brand new £500k houses adjacent to the site are going to accept a noisy speedway track on their doorstep . Get real , smell the coffee. There will be 200 noise complaints on the council's desk before a wheel is turned. From the promotion team, I dont think Terry Russell has been in the best of health, Alain Rossiter is very enthusiastic about anything and everything, whilst Lee Kilby was last seen licking his wounds after the demise of Eastbourne.

Don't think Lee has any wounds to lick....he was and still can be a very valuable employee of Swindon speedway as was/is Rosco....no financial investment.There are plenty of people as well as Terry with a vested interest in the business so we will see what pans out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bob you need to have a real think sometimes in what you say ? ? Lee Kilby is not to blame in what happened at Eastbourne as for the 500 k houses 500 k you are joking ??? Those people who bought those premises should have no say whatsoever they knew the speedway was there it has been there from 1949 simples.If they are not happy pick somewhere else they should have no say at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
