Still no answers to what has actually gone on but at least he's having a dig at Gaming. Its a toned down version of what I would have expected from the club if they were distraught at going out of business but at least he's saying something. Will be very interesting to see if SBC stick to their guns re planning permissions. When Tr got the pay out .no need to be distraught 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more efficient and saves people having read all the moans. Edited October 10, 2022 by Chris116 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 As a management team we are in regular dialogue. Terry Russell, Alun Rossiter, Steve Park and myself catch up most weeks and we are simply waiting and watching at this stage.” that was 2021 .. But somehow now . "We don't own the club, and we haven't worked for the club since 2019. We've known as much or as little as anybody else has known.

bellevueace Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I dont know all the ins and outs like the Swindon fans but firstly im gutted what has happened Swindon are a great club with a great history and its a disgrace GI were allowed to close down the stadium by stealth under a tissue of lies. I will certainly miss my trips down there always was one of my favourite away days. Hopefully a new facility can be found and we see the club return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) A ) Why are they appealing for a brand new motorsport venue as though someone might be throwing one away? Surely anyone connected to motorsports in the area has some awareness of what's happened at Swindon already? B ) Why are they getting involved with Gaming International to find a new track? The exact same people who have just driven them from their perfectly good home? Edited November 9, 2022 by JCookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 "“We’ve brought together an experienced professional team to assist us," If and when they find a suitable location (and let's see if they can find one quicker than anyone in Cradley could) they will put out another experienced professional team to try to find 7 more riders that the country doesn't have to populate the available team places.

And why hasnt someone else been given the chance to run the sport in the brand new facility that still needs to be built to comply with the building permission for the houses.. ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I wouldn't believe a word Terry Russell says, he's probably sunning himself in the Caribbean burning his way through the Gaming International bung. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) This would be laughable if it wasn't so sad... The front of messrs Russell and Osborne seems to have no limits. Have to laugh that the rationale is the lack of multi-use options at Blunsdon. Err...are you not supposed to be building a new stadium? Maybe, just maybe, adjust the plans to accommodate those options? Full of rubbishe... Edited November 10, 2022 by frigbo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheBoards Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 From that www.swindonmotorsports.co.uk comedy site:- "Clarke Osborne Clarke is Chairman of Gaming International the owners of the Swindon Stadium at Abbeymeads. Not known by many, Clarke has a long history in Speedway and motorsport, including the creation and operation of the most successful Speedway venue of the modern era in Bristol. " At first I thought they'd mistyped "Bristol" for "Manchester", but Clarke Osborne has nothing to do with that. So I can only assume I have missed the Bristol Superdome. Can anyone tell me where it is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
