Gemini Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 The double thickness red n purple one is from the 2012 champions season. I'm too tight to buy a new one. Good to see folk from Bstoke making the 90 mile round trip to Swindon. Also get fans from Bath Bristol Gloucester Chelts Oxford Reading Wales Southampton. Perhaps they were too tight to buy one too as I've never seen one. At one time John was a Reading fan but also went to Oxford and Swindon. Now of course it's just Swindon.

Over the years there have been local derbies against Oxford, Reading, Bristol, Newport, Soton, sadly all gone. Used to watch speedway in London, at New Cross, Wimbledon, WHam, Ackney, in the 60s. Swindon's derbies now against Poole and Somerset over 70 miles away. Cov was about 70. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 And Swindon will be history if they don't hurry up and build this bloody new stadium. Doesn't this apply? (Quote from Save Coventry Speedway newspaper article.) The government guidelines are that if a sports stadium is built on then there is an obligation for a new stadium to be part of the planning process and a requirement for the developers to part-fund that stadium.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
