skoobie Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's worrying times for a lot of clubs not just the Scottish ones, would be a great shame if either didn't run next season, always enjoy my trips up to both clubs & have met some great friends up there over the years. Â I have my own fears about Workington for 2013, all doesn't seem happy in the camp & gates have been poor all year :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If that saves Glasgow Speedway would that be a bad thing,Peter kept Berwick going for ten years,yes there were mistakes along the way,but he brought silverware to Berwick and finished as high as second,not such a bad achievement IMO. Â Perhaps only if he were to save the track from closure. He did isolate quite a few people along the way with his antics. Reading the press release perhaps a new buyer or buyers has already been in talks and this is the first stage to making it public or trying to push it along. Peter Waite did the same when he was finishing up with messages of last chance to save the club etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remembertheracers Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It doesn't work like that. Once a track closes, 99% of the fans are lost to the sport. Edinburgh will suffer if their nearest-and-dearest close down, not gain from it.  All the best Rob  That is so true. I can assure you Swindon really miss both Reading and Oxford, though a few Racers fans went to Blunsdon regularly when Matej Zagar was starring for the Robins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Where did I mention it as a bad thing? Â I have a lot of time for Peter. He's not how some folk make him out: within reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTLAND1314 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am sure Edinburgh would still be able to function without Glasgow and vice versa but the Derby's would be a sore miss albiet i think we face each other too many times in one season which takes the novelty out off these slightly .  Some positive news on the Glasgow website though in that they have been talking with potential buyer's  Excellent any idea who it may be?

Halifaxtiger Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Another reason why I'll be making my Plymouth debut in September  I am sure you are wrong on this one - the problem with Plymouth is not its finances but the man in control of them. My suspicion is that when the Devils were making a huge amount of money a big chunk went into that gemtleman's pockets, now they are making less he still expects to take the same wedge.  The gate against (admittedly) Workington was around 1,200, and that's enough to keep every PL team in the country reasonably in the black.  Word is that get rid of Mr Bowden, putting a winning team out and the already decent gates will at least double and I don't think that is in the least bit over optimistic.  Alan Dick says in Speedy Star that the problem is the money they owe due tp the track improvements, not the losses they are making on a weekly basis. It surprises me that they are not losing money on the gates that I have seen there but, accepting his statement, that does make a purchase more likely.

Â Read Bigeddiecheks post,I agree with that. peter waite was a master in finding new 3pt reservesnot afraid to go looking for talanted riders yes he could wind people up and to a point i think he enjoyed doing that but when he was interested he served berwick well wish other clubs had a backer/owner with the same passion to improve the club instead of trying there best to run it into the ground so no one wants to take it over when they pull out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many regard him as a very good team builder. I must say this is only a rumour, but it was one that was floating around Shielfield tonight too.  No smoke without fire, as the saying goes.

Think Peter would oonly put his millions into his beloved Bandits .Sincerly hope the Glasgow can find someone to invest in them ,Speedway in the north needs all its teams.
