Wessexbobcat Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 The owners of Swindon don’t care about the dogs or the speedway.Look at there history, all they do is buy up stadiums and build on them.Every track they get involved with ends up as houses.

Sadly there are still stupid Swindon fans who after all this time still like his total cop out . The bottom line here he's play a blinder . Him and Sbc have got the houses built and at the same time he got the fans of his back and on his side buy saying that a stadium was going to be build that he could never guarantee and then blame Gaming when of course it never happened . Its amazing how gullible Swindon fans are . 8 years of Total lies but still they are getting fooled and get angry when told so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly. Apparently he saved speedway in Swindon a few years ago but now he can't force them to build it. He's full of sh1te. Someone on the Adver comments said that Gaming were initially told to build the stadium before any houses were built but said they can't afford it without the funds from the housing. If that's true and SBC agreed to that then that decision has killed us. Why didn't SBC or Tomlinson do their research on Gaming before agreeing to that. £££££££££££££??????? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is mate is that Tomlinson and Sbc wanted the houses built .. Its not as thou they were not told what would happen . As I said telling people that a staduim would be built made him look like a hero.at the same time he's played a blinder . Looking at the Facebook page I do wonder if it's a only me you and a handful of people who understand what he's done.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope we ever had was running with the old stadium format and Gaming did enough demolition works to completely ruin that possibility. Bet the management at Gaming are having a right laugh about how they managed to hoodwink another council and get away with it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it shows the main issue Swindon or anywhere else faces in the face of housing development. The fanbase & the support levels are just too small is just to small to provide any opposition. I remember in the mid nineties when Ipswich nearly went of of business. The local MP got involved there were large protests in the centre of town the management & riders we're in the centre of town fund raising. All that sparked huge local media coverage & £100k was raised in next to no time ensuring that the speedway could continue. If something similar happened today I'm not sure the out come would be the same. Sad times but the price of being a minority sport with an ever decreasing fan base. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i would add thou is that Gaming have been clever off killing the interest knowing the longer they keep us out the passion dies day by day . i wonder if or more likely we can't run next year someone from the Clubs or that Sell out Tomlinson has the balls to admit in Public what Gaming are about and admit to it rather than it might happen next year etc . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 So the latest news is they need more planing permission that the Council is unlikely to give them so they will have to re submit them meaning even more delays meaning no speedway next year .As Normal Tomlinson tries to dress this up as good news. It's amazing the housing never had any of these problems.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
