Given how well the presentation was put together by Gordon Campbell i am guessing there will be a plan B but with all the bad mouthing of West Lothian council on here I hope it is in a different council area.

When they had a talk after the site was announced, it very much sounded like all their eggs were in the Livingston basket. When asked about a plan B, the response was along the lines of starting later, not another area of land to use.

How about a move to Northside? Though didn't work well for Glasgow in the 80's!

They could maybe share the names too, as sometimes when teams move they alienate their potential fan base by keeping another areas name...

If you took the T, H, E, I, N, R, G, M, O, C, and S from The Edinburgh Monarchs...

And then added just the W and K, from The Workington Comets...

You could call the team..

The Workington Comets..

Pleasing both sets of fans....:D

Indeed...

To know there might be a Speedway forum means you firstly have to know that there is a sport called Speedway... :D

You might know there is a sport called speedway, but think it is the US car one. Like i think two breakfast tv presenters did years ago when they had some obscure speedway rider on :D

Get a little bit of your point jenga, but just imagine how much rent would come into northside for another track to run speedway!! At no cost to northside

You'd be surprised. It certainly isn't uncommon for an applicant to present the less savoury comments from the objectors on local community forums and the like in an effort to undermine opposition. And I can assure you that morons wittering on about brown envelopes did not endear me to their point of view when I was considering applications.

I will take note of that .!
