george.m Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Unless anyone tells me I am breaking forum rules I will post where, I like when I like. It's not as if this is the first thread to be sidetracked, and it won't be the last. Â Spot on. Within the bounds of the Forum rules there is freedom of speech. Poor day when we are not free to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kester Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 What pish. Â In his three years in office, Harkess has been faced with the ridiculous Coventry/Peterborough stance (which really harmed the PL, when KL and Brum were force-fed upwards to satisfy Sky), the Polish "silencer strike" and a horrific and brazen episode of match-fixing by a visiting team at his own track in the first two seasons. Â Â Â You accuse me of talking pish - what on earth is this? Â Brum had already agreed to go up, replacing Ipswich who came down. Â King's Lynn were hardly forced, they were just offered massive sums of cash to go up after the situation had been botched and the EL was short of clubs.

speedibee Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Is Alex Harkess a "Matt Ford puppet" then? Was Pete Toogood? Chris Van Straaten? I think if there is a change then the most likely candidate would be vice chairman, Jon Cook. Is he also a "Matt Ford puppet"? How many puppet does one man get to play with? I would say Van straaten and Cook were co-conspirators and puppeteers in their own right . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the slight issue is the jist of the thread has now been lost. This is about the future of the club I have followed for 28 years. It's kind of why I choose to read this particular thread. I am interested in what you're saying on other issues, but would surely be more appropriate on a different thread? Â Listen it may just be me being a tad pedantic and I don't mind being wrong! Â Â Back to the topic it seems that there are a few more positive noises coming from the monarchs camp. If we were assured of a new home at ingilston in 2014 I totally believe we could run successfully in Armadale in 2013 for one more season. Just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were assured of a new home at ingilston in 2014 I totally believe we could run successfully in Armadale in 2013 for one more season. Just my opinion  Can I just say that in the winter of discontent I too spent many months fearing for the future of my team, which has been in operation for 60+ seasons. During that period I had to sit and read all sorts of stuff posted on this forum about my club and its owners.and much of it was hard to take. It's a fact of life that topics drift off subject and this just one of many. I will never forgive the people who I feel were responsible for the way my club was treated ,as I felt there was a genuine desire by some to close us down .Mr Harkess was chairman of that bunch, and he did very little to help Coventry. Having said that, I understand your feelings and I will make no further comments on this particular topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see my too teams cease to exist!  Nothing i can do about the SFL Feeder club though LOL , but i really think that the Monarchs will come through this as the support that is coming from the fan's in terms off pledges and what we at Glasgow have done to help save our club just goes too show what a great support both the scottish teams have .  I know we have the rivalry and some take it too far mostly in the heat off the moment but deep down there is a definite mutual respect between the two set's off fan's  Right that is the love in finished where is Dekker when you want a good old fashioned slagging match 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george.m Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Brilliant news (hopefully) ��  Hopefully it will be good news.  What would be even better news would be for promoters at the AGM to agree to reduce admission prices by cutting costs ... starting with riders wages - most of which gets spent on trying to get faster machinery and relatively speaking "the riders are standing still".

msc1874 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hopefully. I also hope we can maybe get further down the Ingilston road for 2014. Â I think if we all rally around for 2013 and have a future back in Edinburgh for 2014 a real future. Â Although I would settle for 2013 just now, but I hope the club can get a long term future sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making an educated guess. I Thought you were going to tell me that they had messed up and put some other stadium on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
