And pics with Osborne Clark .. even if the stadium is built this guy has destroy speedway clubs and in my opinion and is  just a total scumbag .. the club is ran so well but really is naïve when it  comes to Clark and co .

Trouble is, I’m not sure how else the club could really play it, to be honest.

I’m not sure if the club/promotion being publicly snotty about things towards Osbourne and his cronies would have got us anywhere fast.

By at least appearing to be encouraging of Stadia UK and going along with the “this is going to be great” party line, it puts all the hype, focus and attention, where it rightly should be, on Stadia UK to come up with the goods. The club social media statement said it itself... “Over to the developers”.

Its quite clearly on them if there’s any further bumps in the road on this. Everyone else is essentially a passenger in this saga.

Don't have to get publicly  snooty but you also have to remember what this man and his cronies have done to speedway clubs  in the uk no matter how the Swindon project  turns out .. having photo's taken with con man is naïve and disrepectful  for fans who have lost there club due to these people .

From the moment this all started 5 years  we have  got overboard with every statement giving the people we are dealing with.  this week has been the same again .

Really exciting i hope the fixtures are confirmed i  just hope the weather holds up.But It could be bloody cold is there anywhere colder than the Abbey in Swindon???Be interesting to see who Leszno send on the practice day will the public be aloud to watch? if so could the club charge 2/3 pound?i would be willing to pay it could help the club a little.

The practice is in Lezno,surely they would charge Zloty and not pounds:wink:

Doyley posted something about this Leszno meeting, I got the impression he wasn't over impressed by the prospect .....

Ronnie Russell featured on BBC West tv news tonight. Swindon track review in Star this week, with tribute to Danny Ayres, and feature on Lee Ashby, well worth read. Didn't realise Danny made guest appearance for Robins.

Good interviews with Doyley Lindgren and Janowski as well, plus England speedway team in 70s 80s, and the 1980 test v USA at Blunsdon.
