Obviously you’re not quite the sharpest tool in the shed and struggling to understand that bit. Of course not Naive and Gullible don't really cover it .. i think the person who struggling to understand what is going on here is you .

Riders were being told not to take other deals at other clubs long before the meeting took place as the chances were they were going to ride again this season . If you are part of the set up you will know that already . Edited October 29, 2022 by orion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are part of the set up you will know that already . Riders weren’t told that. They were told to hold off just in case as we had a cut off given to us by the BSPA to declare if we were competing next season. Again at that point nothing had been agreed.

Chris116 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 The promotion had been told by the stadium owners that speedway would not be able to continue in 2023 so the promotion arranged a farewell meeting. So far totally reasonable. Then the stadium owners realise that their plans are not going to happen and the speedway promotion also find their plans for a new track are sunk without trace. So reasonably the two sides have talks how how both can help each other out. Date for the farewell is getting very close but no agreement so it is not unreasonable to go ahead with the farewell meeting. Now we have the good news that both sides think an agreement is going to be possible but it has not been signed yet, so running the farewell meeting still makes sense as it is still possible that no racing for Edinburgh will be possible in 2023. Many tracks and promotions have been in a similar situation in the past and sadly many will face the same problems in the future. How many farewell meetings for both speedway and stock cars were held at Boston. There it almost became an annual event and if the stadium still existed I am sure many fans would be happy to still be having a farewell meeting every year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many Mugs in speedway it's unreal . Totally agree. I'm pleased that Edinburgh's short term future has been secured, but hopefully Harkness, Campbell and the other directors will have learnt a few lessons from from running to the press and telling everyone the new stadium was in the bag, when it blatantly wasn't. They do a lot of very positive work in the community, but they've mismanaged this badly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
