stancl4eva Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Long story all to do with a large rent and not much in return from North Lanarkshire council. Don't think Shawfield is in any sort of state to host football and Clyde want a place where they can operate with a degree of autonomy, not as traditional tenants.

Shawfield has large pylons for the dog track lighting, which are positioned on the extremes of the footie pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Shawfield has large pylons for the dog track lighting, which are positioned on the extremes of the footie pitch. The floodlight posts are positioned on what would have been the outer edge of the speedway track back straight. One post is between the dog and speedway tracks and wouldn't interfere with a football park, the one at the third bend might be a problem. I don't think Billy King would be interested in football returning given he wasn't interested about speedway returning.

stancl4eva Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Don't think Shawfield is the answer, poor facilities and doubt we would get any autonomy. If there is any truth in the Ashfield whispers it may tie in with the overhaul of the stadium? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Personally I wouldn't want a senior football club at Ashfield, we have enough problems keeping the junior team happy with the pitch size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Was hoping the juniors would go and ground share with Petershill . Would solve a lot of problems not having any football at Ashfield at all . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroad119 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 If Glasgow Speedway were to own the stadium then any football club be it Ashfield Juniors or the Bullywee would have to pay for the use of the Stadium. Stick down a 3G or synthetic pitch and we have a facility which the whole community including local clubs and schools can utilise. If we own it we can dictate the pitch dimensions etc . Bear in mind we have a great racetrack which is only a few metres width from being truly spectacular. Fingers crossed.!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â True but if it could happen the extra rent could contribute towards funding the losses of speedway and/or improving the facilities.

smod Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 who is the last guy,guys. Surely Aaron Summers, with the only delay an argument with Redcar over the amount of the transfer fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would appear to be the case , 25k for Summers is a nonsense and we wont pay that . I hope the lad doesnt miss out on a team place because of it . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He should go to court if that happens, be the test case and stop it happening to anyone else in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 As long as he puts a written transfer in, it'll go to arbitration if it cant be agreed. Said that weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Dunno if it cost Summers a Brough spot, but Haverlock Sn. should perhaps move into the modern world and realise he can no longer demand [realistically] the sums of money relevant in the days of crowds of thousands. Fair enough if he wants Summers, [to a degree ala Kus ] but if its a p!!! take then sorry but, get real. And this is from a neutral [okay a diamonds fan, but the point is valid]. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I have been told that the BSPA put a valuation on every rider, & Havelock is going by their figures. Anybody else heard anything ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else heard anything ? Don't think so. Each club has to have a set amount of assets or pay a bond in to make up the difference. There will be a notional figure of each riders value, but it's highly unlikely it to be the transfer fee and especially not £25k for Summers. Christmas drinking started early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly hope we don't entertain any transfer fee for Summers.  It would be a total waste of money and a catastrophic diminish of return. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
