We would all like to have the backing like Glasgow but we don't , not only Workington suffering with these home fixtures or lack of them , so no income from meetings you have promotions paying out their own pockets , speedway in general is in dire straits The under current of anti Glasgow sentiment from many Worky fans has been here for about two years. Just we dont see we have done anything to deserve it as there has been no particular flashpoints at meetings between the teams. This current thread is just another to add to the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have something to do with a certain rider not scoring points when he rode for Workington last season so that he could comfortably guarantee his place in the Glasgow team this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it was going before that. The 3 point reserve for Worky last year is a 3 point reserve for Glasgow this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparks123 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 3 hours ago, Gazc said: Similar happened at Ipswich couple of seasons ago with Sedgmen, my own thoughts are they have released Richie to bring him back now wouldn't work the damage has been done. Another factor in all of this what becomes of Nathan Grieves, if as i suspect the Cook signing falls through, were does that leave young Nathan. Looking for another championship club again i would imagine. It gives 2 British riders a team place and it seems that Richie could get a team place elsewhere. I don't see the problem with Glasgow signing Craig as lets face it in the last month or so Newcastle received a 29 day facility for a rider who is taking time out the sport (instead of a 28 day facility), Peterborough signed a rider who was declared in their team last year (more than a month into the season), we have a probationary ref at the Championship 4's and we have 3 teams who cannot race when the original fixture was scheduled. And that's only in about a month (not including Scott N etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Glasgow requiring permission from Edinburgh to sign Craig, I believe that when a loan agreement is already in place with another club, it is that Promotion (i.e. Belle Vue) that Tigers will be dealing with and Monarchs will not be involved. The Glasgow press release did state "The changes are subject to BSPA management committee approval." which other clubs have used in the past in such situations, so allegations of being presumptuous are unfounded. FWIW I believe the majority of Edinburgh fans have no problem with Cookie being able to supplement his earnings by joining Glasgow. After all we were able to loan Palovaara from Glasgow and John Campbell thanked Tigers for their cooperation in his column in a recent programme. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 If Richie signed for another club and the BSPA block the cook move, will Richie have to revert back to the club that’s sacked him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
