Yes and thereby writing off the money he was ‘owed’ back by the club and paid for the administrators until buyers were found. I’m not a fan of his or what he did at Torquay and previous clubs but I think it’s important to be factual and acknowledge that he did put millions into that club (albeit had a motive of selling the land which didn’t pay off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make very interesting reading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the speedway star ever done an honest few pages on the people who run the sport track record? that would make a really interesting reading, speedway’s demise is 90% self inflicted, Osbourne as immoral as he may be is a business man and his business is in a far better state than ours 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted Monday at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:09 PM I expect the next stage or part of the con is to make people believe that Speedway will happen at the new site so it's allows the Abbey to be built on before finding problems to stop them building this new track and Stadium .it's hardly a new plan from gaming..The bit that's makes me laugh is why and how would gaming fund this? At the end of the day they went to the Brandon enquiry saying that a similar project was not viable but now somehow this is.. The only hope for this is that Gaming have promise funds to Terry for this project for his help in letting them built on the Abbey site.No matter if the new site is built I won't be going or giving any money to Osbourne or Russell. They are a pair of scumbags. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
