What final phase of houses? The car park is being built on and the stand / sound barrier are far from complete - no services, no drainage and just the support for the barrier. Osborne played a classic "i need more funding to complete the stadium" and the previous SBC bent over..

Technik Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 On 11/13/2023 at 8:42 PM, Sir Sidney said: Completed to what standard? It's all semantics really. It will be completed to the minimum possible standard so that the remaining housing can be built. I predict it will then be swiftly close, with the cost incurred on the build far less than that gained by the land sold for development. Its fair to say the shell is going up but to date no Glaziers, Electricians, Carpenters or Plumbers have been used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have a quite famous football club, how about Glastonbury? The Glastonbury Druids? Edited December 14, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then theres the cold light of day when Mr Osbourne has done nothing in 3/4 years & he still has the investors money. some will be returned but whilst he has had it he has been using it to make himself even more profits. He is a conman A very good one but a conman all the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a conman A very good one but a conman all the same. I Agree , However, I don't think he is a particularly clever conman. Bizarrely, where money is involved, there are still too many people willing to accept what he says at face value. A quick check on his business dealings over the years would reveal all. As they say, 'There's none so blind as those who will not see.' Osborne is nothing but a total faker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Osbourne is a business man nothing more nothing less and his decisions/opinions are based on money, when you get the higher up the money chain you find morals and scruples get less and less, people like him would stamp on their own Nan to get the money, if speedway was in a better financial state he would change his stance, he doesn’t break any laws he just doesn’t do or say anything in favour of speedway cause it’s not making him money 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again no questions that should have been asked...We know why hes in Torquay to build houses on the ground . No one ever gets a chance to take him to task.. This interview is crap and just a platform to spead his garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, according to the main local paper he has a cosy relationship with the interviewer https://www.devonlive.com/sport/sport-opinion/questions-torquay-united-owner-clarke-8940159 so he probably set the questions himself !
