Rental , car park revenue plus food and drink outlets. They still don't like it being there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The Guy Osbourne wants to re-develop the ground at Torquay but of course there are other 'facilities' he want to include in the plans. 40m project and he has a big supporter in the Chairman of the local council. He was a born and bred Bristol Rovers fans, didn't stop that one being flattened and turned into retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I guess it depends where the stadium is located. Prime real estate territory and you are in trouble! The demise of dog racing in the UK has seen the GRA turn into project redevelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with quite a few is where towns are expanding a track that used to be on the outside of the town is now part of the town with houses round it, which is what is happening at Swindon. I appreciate Poole and Exeter were in the towns already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 i believe the stadium itself is safe,but there will be partial development on the site,the freeholder and the leaseholder each need the others support to achieve this but as both pbc and stadia uk would like some development (for completely different reasons) it will happen.However i believe at present they will sit on things at swindon and poole(they both make money) until the greyhound media rights battle is decided,two companies battling to be the only provider, put simply its ladbrookes group verses arc group,co has put swindon and poole in the arc group,time will tell,think theyre also following developments at oxford council re their stadium.maybe they might concentrate on torquay project,who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Pirates will be without flying Danish duo Nicolai Klindt and Frederik Jakobsen for the visit of the Robins on Wednesday, August 22 due to commitments in their homeland. Klindt could also miss the home fixture against King’s Lynn seven days later. Ford said: “I’m sure Swindon will be delighted to be coming to us when two of our riders are missing.” Jakobsen could also move out of the reserve berth when he completes 8 meetings. He will be replaces by either Josh or Nicolai. Edited July 31, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
