New owner of the stadium holding things up? Richie worrall situation plus kemp and Edwards going elsewhere caused the issues I believe. Had to start team building again with no equivalent rider especially for Richie available. The stadium supposedly being bought by a monarchs fan so don't foresee any issues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Stadium has got Planning Permission for 80 Houses then whoever has made an offer must be offering big bucks. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/speedway-continue-armadale-despite-permission-21277831 Eighty Houses at todays prices is a lot of money, Speedway rent is loose change by comparison. Seems it is under offer but reading this advert there is only one way it will go... https://www.realla.co.uk/details/24115510 Edited December 26, 2021 by heathen52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it’s no coincidence that both teams have recently lost riders that they were banking on for 2022 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks everyone. Hope all is OK for the Monarchs. My in laws are from Falkirk and always enjoy a visit to Armadale when I'm up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daza313 Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 I think we are all anxious about some news, But i get the feeling we would know something by now. I'm sure there is a cut off for registering with the champions league, and i think it would have been anounced by now if they had no intensions of taking part in the 2022 season. In regards to the stadium offer, whilst it can sound worrying its been on the table for many years - but nothing to say Edinburgh monarchs haven't made the offer themselves. (just pure speculation) with the support from the fans trust and just starting out in the speedway academy, with the managements experience within the sport I don't think they would have taken these risks if they were in doubt about the future of armadale, but im just a noob fan lol so im not 100%. but thats my 2 cents worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time April comes around Nicola Krankie will have shut the border and banned all spectator sport due to a new Covid variant which causes a mild bout of hiccoughs so it's extremely unlikely you'll be seeing any speedway north of the border next season the way things are going.

Received an email last week saying that renewals will be available early in the new year and will be shortly making announcements for the 2022 season, including much anticipated rider announcements. There seems to be a lot of people putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5. Don't think there's anything to be to worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What doesn’t add up,it’s at least 3 months to the start of the season, the Teams not been finalised,why would you sell season tickets.The Edinburgh Promotion are one of the longest serving in the Sport.I think they know what they are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
