With the now Scottish Cup, League Cup, KO Cup and League meeting, that is more than enough to see Edinburgh in one season. The potential is also there to meet in the playoffs. The Promotions see them as a money spinner, as there will always be a reasonable turn out compared to some other fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone 943 Posted January 31, 2018 It has been suggested that any Speedway Supporters resident in West Lothian should try and lobby their local councilors now, before the planning application is voted on. It is unlikely that the Planning Officials, who are recommending approval, will have made the councilors fully aware of the opposition viewpoint. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Lothian council have always come across as very happy to have a successful sporting team in their midst , now is their chance to not just bask in the glory of the team's exploits since basing themselves at Armadale , but to use their power to block any advances which would bring all that to an end . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 31, 2018 Instead of wanting special treatment and a bend of the set rules...how about signing someone that fits within the rules. Do promoters think they are special. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badge 5,125 Posted January 31, 2018 Surely that's the visa process, working out correctly isn't it?? i) he doesn't qualify ii) there are several British riders who could fill his position so unlikely to be issued for that reason. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackadder 280 Posted January 31, 2018 It's reasonable to apply for approval for a visa for Luke because of the circumstances, and it's reasonable for that request to be refused, but surely it's best to check with Stewart before implying that he is behind the refusal.
