TBF it's not "gone". The private operator has pulled out of the contract so won't continue to run it. The facility is still there if someone can be found to run it. Like SBC, for example.

Is there any viable way back for it? Genuinely sad about the news. Sounds like a lot of people on here have some great childhood memories of the place (and wishing the clock on your time left would just slow down, as well as freezing your balls off in the queue up to the domebusters). I went back for the first time in about 25 years with my boy a few years ago and as tired as it had become, it then became his first choice day out. He loved it, even though we’re out of towners and Swindon is a bit of a drive. With the right investment, it’s difficult to see why there wouldn’t be demand for it. But investment in leisure at the moment..... well, hardly a safe bet is it.

Maybe JT could get Wonga to sponsor it? The Wonga Wave Machine? The Go Bust Domebusters? It's got legs this one ....

I’m sure people will be upset it’s closing.
I definitely spent more time playing football on the ‘Astro turf’ round the back than in the actual Oasis. I’m somewhat convinced it’s the main reason why I get so much pain in my knee joints these days.
I won’t look back in anger though...

Maybe the trust could buy the Oasis instead of the County Ground? Reckon STFC might manage mid-table in a local 5-a-side league.

I remember walking down from Commonweal to the oasis, just for PE. They wondered why so many bunked off..

Would be a bit of Shakermaker if you were to Bring It On Down. I'd let it Slide Away. I thought you were Married With Children nowadays DV?
