Why’s it a farewell when it won’t be the farewell. 

To be completely correct (given thet there is another meeting schedule there next Friday) this meeting should be titled:

The Last But One Farewell to Armadale (unless we sneak another year here) Scottish Open Championship @ Edinburgh

But everyone would have to buy new programme boards to fit the programme if they printed that as the title.

James Sarjeant has announced that he's retiring from the sport at the end of the season.  Aaron Summers also confirms he's retiring (again!), too.

That's a shame, Sarj was a real prospect when he came onto the scene with Coventry. When Cov closed he seemed to lose his way a bit, I don't think Havvy helped him much as, publicly at least, he defended his jumping at the start as acceptable and often blamed the ref for stopping races after the start. Sarj became a bit of a laughing stock throughout the sport for this... if that had been coached out of his game a bit sooner, who knows?

Where did he announce it? He never mentioned it during his interview was it on his social media? 

On Speedway Updates site that he'd "announced" it during the meeting..... can only go by what was said on there... I know the Updates site isn't always accurate, but took it "as read" that is what happened.

Check out his Facebook page - he mentions it there.  Loads of good wishes rolling in for James. Have enjoyed watching him over the years since his Coventry days.  This year never really took off for him - too many injuries and a legacy of too many past injuries are bound to question why you are still doing it ?

Never read so much rubbish in my life.

When he started in Coventry, he seemed to stand out to me. It was interesting to watch him. And I think I'll remember him.
