Sad news indeed mate , at Glasgow we have much to be thankful to Jimmy for , would we still be in existence without Jimmy Beaton - probably not . RIP Jimmy your legacy will live on everytime a Glasgow rider takes to the track . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 We jokingly call the back straight terrace , where we watch from , the Charlie Monk stand . I cant think of a more fitting tribute than Glasgow to name the grandstand to honour the memory of Jimmy Beaton . Officially naming it the Jimmy Beaton stand would serve as a lasting thanks for all he did for the club . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmauger Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 James Beaton Snr very much enjoyed his speedway and did a great deal keeping his team in business, often accompanied sons Bobby & Jim when they rode at Hull.
