Exactly ....Ex Comets I said at the start of the season I wanted Redcar and Berwick to do well, same issues as the Comets with money and struggling crowds over the past few years , and looking at the Redcar team now they will put some spanners in the works for the big guns, starting with Glasgow on Friday , Sheffield yesterday , so in answer to your question The Bears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always congratulated Workington and also personally to yourself have shown sadness at Workington's closure. Whereas it is clear that you would obviously celebrate Glasgow closing. Very sad for you as an individual to be all consumed by the hatred which you appear to be full of and show at every opportunity. I feel sorry for you.

Weeyin 1,022 Posted July 8, 2019 Everyone hates Glasgow now that they have money behind them , jealousy is a terrible thing. It wasn't that long ago that we were threatened with closure and at the bottom of the league, year after year but we still went home and away to support the team. We always congratulate the team that has beaten us. The money jibes are getting very tiresome. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life's too short to be consumed by hatred but some show it on here. I genuinely feel sorry for such people, hatred seems to consume them. Not something I would like to be. As you say about the money jibes being tiresome, not to mention juvenile, the irony is there's so little money and investment in the sport anyway. Those that follow football would laugh at the tiny amount of money Glasgow have invested. I'd love to see investment into other clubs. The sport is dying but for the jealousy ridden small-minded they allow themselves to become the complete opposite of sportsmanlike or grownup and come on here spouting their small-minded bile. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I very much doubt that everyone actually hates Glasgow but I remember some promoters were critical of the way they just outbid everyone for whoever they want (remember the Brian Havelock, Summers incident). In the main it hasn't seemed to work, as you change personnel as frequently as other teams and your trophy cabinet isn't exactly bulging. Speedway in the UK would be better for more owners with a sound financial backing though. Edited July 8, 2019 by foamfence 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one I heard was that Havelock "milked" it and demanded more money for a rider that wanted to leave and not be part of his team anyway. You say "in the main it hasn't worked". What exactly hasn't worked. The stadium has been overhauled with better facilities and better track. The league position has also generally been higher than previously and the team competitive. And the past few seasons have brought financial stability. By any standards that's a massive improvement. So in the main it has worked. The changing of personnel - there will always be a high turnover of riders in speedway so long as averages dictate team building, whereby those perceived to be on a falling average are ditched and those on a rising average are hired.

Jesus , wind your neck in ....I have never once said I would celebrate any team closing, believe me I know how bad it feels losing my club this season. Although your fellow tigers faithfuls on here had plenty of swipes at us closing last season . I have never mentioned money either in my replies so get your bee out of your bonnet I have friends at Glasgow , a bit of banter hurts no-one , in fact this Forum is quite boring reading these days without us . I'm not consumed with any hatred, there is 5 Ex Comets riders in the Glasgow team this season whom I rate highly, 2 of them living only a couple of miles from me . I will tell you I didn't want you get the "Treble" this season I wanted the Comets to keep that crown for this season at least, but I really couldn't give a sh== whether you win anything else or whatever's left !

"Jesus , wind your neck in" No need to be so uncouth nor so immature in your language. I made reasonable points, nothing else. 2.

They’ve ran at a substantial loss every season. Luckily they have that much money it doesn’t matter so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
