Could be a few things. One being, if you have a desirable commodity and are willing to sell it, you don't tell people you're willing to sell as the offers will be lower.

Smoke and mirrors

Sussed again, drat!

Vetoing Glasgow Friday night speedway .... why am I thinking of the Titanic and deck chairs?

And you're surprised by this?

Where are you going mate?

Think "further" is right mate!

Sounding very "corporate" there MrB.

Because we can

If we are to take you at face value, then either someone in the Edinburgh promotion has very loose lips or you are very close to the inner workings of the promotion.

Should be a good meeting, think I'll be going along for this.

Grammar police, just what BSF has been missing! Who's Gavc? A new member? Don't tell me we have another Weegie Tiger supporter trying to buy the PL title? No doubt a bigoted, Masonic, fully paid up member of the KKK. And on benefits and addicted to Buckfast. Wife beater. Soap dodger. With no mind of his own, he'll be boycotting Armadale this year.

Some people on this thread are total plonkers. Credit to my source - my 11 year old daughter.

Naughty!

This is getting totally stupid now.

Couldn't agree more!It's a pity some people can't keep their mouths shut. If their self esteem is so low they need to make public what they've heard in confidence I feel sorry for them.

Out the neck please and a bit of whatever sparkafag is on please.

Twice you've quoted my post, so usually that means the reply is to the poster. Hence my comment. What's even scarier is .... I think I join you. Mine's a double Buckfast!

Really don't understand why all these points are being directed in my direction, as the gist of what you're saying has no relevance whatsoever to my OP or my thoughts on the points you raise. A lot of assumptions on my opinions on other areas being made here. I'll add to the phrase "pushing at an open door" .... grandmother and egg sucking. One point I will take up on though is folks involved with clubs using this forum as a form of fan feedback. Three things: 1. I hope they don't as any research needs to be done on a representative, robust sample. 2. I'd like to think most promoters already get their feedback face-to-face from fans on a regular basis. I strongly suspect that as successful business men they do. 3. My experience of both Glasgow and Edinburgh is that the promoters are switched on to their fans thoughts.

You're pushing at an open door here mate. My OP and thoughts are not about the content of the rule, rather Embra getting unnecessary stick, and fans unhappy the rule is written so it has loop holes for exploiting.

Totally agree. But fans shouldn't be debating what "young" is.Should be in the rule itself.

Understand that, but in the SUPPOSED spirit of things, he ain't gonna be World Champ being that close to his sell by date is he?

Don't mean to pee on your fire, nor have I turned.The headline says " British Youngsters". Now when did 29 become a youngster. Who's signed a 29 year old?

There's a theme running through the thread now suggesting Embra's decision isn't within the spirit of the rules and/or some form of exploiting a loophole. Now as you know I love a bit of banter with the Embra fans on here, but this time I'd make two points: 1. Show me one team that hasn't, in it's history, made a decision that exploits a loophole. And don't we all love it when our own promotion/management shows it's maverick, system beater side to pull a rabbit out the hat. 2. The more important point for me. This rule has just been agreed on by the promoters. Did they miss the loophole(s)? I doubt it. And yes I know the Edinburgh connection. But for me we should be pointing fingers at the promoters who signed off such a rule .... not Edinburgh for doing what's best for their team/supporters.
