NickH114 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 They show greyhound racing from Swindon on sky sports racing sometimes, there is no sign of any work being done at the stadium at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Personally I think the robins will return to the abbey but it will be in exactly the same state as when they left it. I think a lot depends on the health of Terry Russell and his will to continue. Does anyone know how Terry is ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Would be great if Speedway returned, but can see another off season of empty promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked healthy & the stick seemed to be just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would and don't think anyone would blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw him at Kent before the meeting in the pits area & I think he spent the night with Len Silver. As for his business that's none of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzCagney Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) And still no sign of action as we move toward autumn. It seems we've just given up now. Where's the fan club that was so vocal back in the day? Are they just resigned to losing the Robins? Why aren't the Adver trying to get answers? I realise they lift most of their "news" from Facebook these days but there must still be one old fashioned reporter up there with a pencil behind his ear? Between the useless SBC, who care for little but more houses, and the stadium owners, who truly speak with fork tongue, it seems they've truly played a blinder. And being lied to is an even more bitter pill to swallow than the loss of the speedway. But then our hand was pretty weak against people who are more interested in money than being honest and doing what they've said all along that they would do.

Sounds like they're being strung along just like whenever magnificent Mick Horton was asked about the search for a new stadium for Coventry!

We haven't heard anything from him for such a long time , perhaps he's searching so far away now that there is no form of communication available there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
