one thing that occurred to me - the proposed sharing of a new stadium and the football club's objection to having a track around the pitch. Will the football club make up the lost rent from the speedway club?

Will the comets pay more rent and tell the football club to sling it. Who the hell do they think they are? I should imagine the Comets, despite everything, pull in more punters than the Reds

Grant Henderson Tankers sponsor several riders northern based and not specifically at Glasgow.

They are major sponsors at Glasgow but also Berwick , young Kyle could do a lot worse than them and will be well looked after,

There will be nothing else in it , i have no doubt young Kyle will line up for the Comets next season with his Grant Henderson Tankers sonsorship on board.

I would imagine that the football club can/will offer some kind of grass roots/community deal which will bring with it access to FA and lottery funding

Because they are prepared to enter into a 50+ year lease and have no conscience if they go skint after 10 years.

That's about it.....Rugby and Soccer will commit to long lease...Speedway not certain to even run in 2019.

The way things are it's hypocritical for both the Football and the RL team's to commit to a 50+ yr lease agreement as both are spent forces and highly unlikely to be around themselves in anywhere near that timescale? :angry:

The council should be looking to benefit "all of the sport" in the town and not just provide a new home for those whom feel they have a god given right to perform in one? :nono:

Neither club will fill an 8000 arena so it's already certain that outside factors will take the lion's share of usage in order to make it viable, West Ham moved into the Olympic Park and simply put temporary seating in to get fans closer to the action, an option not even considered here but eminently workable and, a reasonable chance of larger crowd access and bigger events being brought in to make use of the extra capacity? :t:

It just re-emphasizes the narrow minded/parochial view of the people in charge that the most successful club in the town are "potentially" being forced out of existence by the use of a completely nonsensical agreement that really means less than the paper it's written on? :angry:

the rugby and the football clubs are signing a 50 year lease for the use of the stadium .

definition of a lease is .. if you sign, you pay for it . even if you dont use it . if the footy or rugby pull out , they still have to pay their side of the lease . ( wonga ) for the remaining years of the lease .
