cyclone Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 A couple of news articles http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/motor-sports/glasgow-tigers-investors-ready-make-4891853 http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/sport/other-sports/local-businessmen-ensure-future-for-glasgow-tigers-and-ashfield-juniors.115297076 Tigers fans are fortunate to have such altruistic benefactors, whose plans to transform the whole stadium are breathtaking. I am also impressed by their intention to encourage and develop local youth to become speedway riders. As a Monarchs fan, best wishes to the Facennas in succeeding with their vision, which should benefit Scottish Speedway overall. No. He was wrong despite his close connection to those at the top of BSPA who should know better than disclose confidential information. Especially when they're not in full possession of the facts. The Record's report is wrong, the Herald's more accurate. I have no idea which company bought the stadium, but I certainly did not transfer my ownership of the promoting company to Allied Vehicles. My reading of your response, infers that Mr Blobby is obtaining his snippets either directly or indirectly via Alex Harkess. If this is the case, then I suggest that AH should be more discreet in whom he discloses confidential information, as Mr B appears to be more leaky than Glasgow Rangers defence were on Saturday 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Way of the mark on that one! So are you disputing Gordon Pairman's assertion that "despite his close connection to those at the top of BSPA who should know better than disclose confidential information", If not Alex Harkess, then who is your "close connection to those at the top of BSPA", or are you denying such an association ?

MrMungo Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Perhaps it's Noel Edmonds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Pairman Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Gordon you talk in riddles sometimes, why cant you just tell us the craic...... Much did you get? :)Ask Blobby. He seems to know everything 😃 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Way of the mark on that one! Shame on you, Blobby, for saying that it was Allied Vehicles who had bought the Tigers. Its the two blokes that own Allied Vehicles that bought them and Allied Vehicles are only the sponsors. How could you get it so wrong ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Way of the mark on that one! Just like you with Allied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteliner Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Does it really matter to a speedway fan who owns the club as long as you have speedway to watch next season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 So Blobby was correct then! Owned by Allied according to the link! Mind you, the same link also claims in speedway terms they're Man City. Yeah, because Man City chose to compete in a very average tier of British football! Not that there is a standout tier of British Speedway for Glasgow to operate in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 While I'm still sober enough to negotiate my way round a keyboard , a very happy new year to all my fellow Tiggs . 2015 looks like it's going to be an exciting year on and off the track and it's looking possible that we will be following our team with optimism and confidence home and away , instead of just going through the motions . And to all my friends 40 miles along the M8 , GET IT RIGHT UP YE AND WE'RE COMING TO KICK YOUR BUTTS IN 2015 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Sweet dreams Paulco. Looks like you've already started! Anyway nice to see the Tiggs putting together a strong squad. Happy days. Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Pairman Posted December 31, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I'm a few hours ahead of Glasgow so already in 2015. Which means that my many unbroken years of co-ownership of Glasgow Tigers have finally ended. I've done what I could to support the team, more away from the track than at it because of the location of my home base, with varying degrees of success but it's the highs that keep you coming back. The end game for me was to find an ownership that would work to safeguard the future of the team. I thought that had happened two years ago, and, when that was n't working, I stepped back in. Now, in Gerry and Michael, I can happily walk away content that the future is secured in the best possible way. In my last programme piece in 2014, I wrote that the plans for the future were amazing and they certainly are. Not just for 2015 but far beyond. So, it's au revoir, but not goodbye, from me, with a heartfelt thanks to Alan Dick, Stewart Dickson, Colin Hamilton, Derek Smith, Ian Adam, George Barclay, Cami Brown, Craig McCurdy, all the volunteers, the track staff, the supporters and, of course, Davie on the tractor. Have fun at the bells and a very Happy New Year to one and all Edited December 31, 2014 by Gordon Pairman 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be a stranger and haste you back to watch your team whenever you can . I hope to bump into you somewhere on my travels in 2015 . Happy new year mate . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
