No dis-respect to him but i have never been impressed any time i saw him albiet he was banging some big scores in towards the end of last season. 1 hour ago, Wee Eck said: I have no idea what this is about, or what it’s doing in “Glasgow 2019” For me, the 2019 Championship is very similar to 2018 in overall team strength. I can’t see many if indeed any riders having an artificially increased average. Honestly It was in reference to a comment made by the expert on all things Glasgow and Speedway about the value of Rasmus Jensen in "this watered down league". On Worky, they never lost as much as Glasgow (ever) however financially the promotion didn't have bottomless pockets. It's well documented on here...

topaz325 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 6 hours ago, TotallyHonestJohn said: Honestly If Glasgow win the Play off final will there joy be tempered knowing really deep down that this is a "Watered Down League" That they haven't really won the Championship title like Workington did last year (treble as it happens... H18tory...) in a much stronger league, but they have only won the play off final of a "Beefed Up" National Development League. A watered down lesser product on the previous years Championship; after all what is the point of winning something if the whole product is watered down, getting excited over such a devalued product must surely take the edge off any glory that might be gleaned. Worky may be gone but the glory will always remain of winning the Championship when it meant something not the Championship Light or the NDL + with cash to buy in the talent Never mind if Glasgow take the 30 pieces of silver they can go into the Premiership next year which although "Watered Down" and is on a par with the Championship of last year; then they can have a pop at that and see if they can buy what basically Workington won on merit last year... H18tory... Regards THJ This must be a wind up, if not I thought you were better than that Thj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a year, I bought Alun out and became the sole owner. In due course, I sold the company to the current owners. I did not “cease trading” as you put it at any point. A&S was wound up by the owners when it was no longer required, all known debts having been settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be advised I do not take accusations of any form of financial impropriety lying down.
