Expand It says on Twitter subject to BSPL approval, their office will be shut for the weekend and Monday as it's a bank holiday in England. Glasgow are assuming he can come in on a 5 point assessed average, however he did ride in the Polish Ekstraliga for Grudziadz in 2015 & 2016 but that was as an under 21 rider.

That's bound to cause interest and smart arsed/jealous comments in a sport where clubs are predominantly run on a shoe string. Is there any noise on the Facennas being unhappy at the ROI so far? Not being smart but they surely would expect more by this stage? Expand Depends what you mean by more? A great stadium (compared to their competitors), one of the best tracks in the country, exciting fast racing, not a trick track, hosted FIM and international meetings, decent crowds, play - offs every year, good numbers of young people all wearing club colours, etc - all achieved. But hey they are still striving to make things better so let's have a go at them. If enough jealous fans keep slagging them off maybe they'll chuck it and we can then all wallow in mediocrity.

Owning Glasgow Speedway has given them even more ways to market and promote their main businesses. Have a look at their holding company’s accounts and you’ll see how well they’ve done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I guess missing matches for depression / mental health would fall under the "non speedway injury / illness" rule, which I believe is a 7 day "ban"! But I can imagine the uproar if a rider got "banned" for missing matches due to mental health issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
