stewmac 468 Posted January 25, 2018 I'm beginning to wonder what the real reason for the long delay in announcing the final rider is. Mr Campbell said weeks ago the fans would be very happy if we signed the riders they were after. Has a rider's signing been blocked I wonder? And if so, by whom?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted January 26, 2018 Why should there be a vote The rider qualifies for a visa or not from the criteria set out Is he on the 260+ list? If not why the feck not..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even given that - there is an obvious precedent set by the 260+ list as to where any mystery newcomer should fit without any dispute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted January 26, 2018 What is there to protest about? He either qualifies or he doesnt If he does then he is 5.2 going by the agreed format (whether that format is right or wrong is a totally different issue) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say he either qualifies or doesnt simple really. Edited January 26, 2018 by Gazc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,482 Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like the council will now give approval to housing on Armadiddle Stadiu. Sad news ahead? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) As much as I do not want Edinburgh Speedway to be lost, even the promoters felt that there was an inevitability that Armadale would go to housing eventually. The new owner could not make the Greyhounds work so he will be happy to go. Hopefully Edinburgh Council will help Edinburgh out.
