That would be OK if people didn't misrepresent the legal position (as some Worky fanboys have). Combating that misinformation with a more accurate description of the legal position seems a perfectly proportionate response. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PersonalResponsibility Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 (edited) So have Allied just propped up Workington until future notice then? The interview with James Denham appeared to point that way - whether intentionally or not. It was even mentioned that they'd started the kids race as it "had worked well at other tracks...Peter does it at Glasgow". Made it sound like the Facennas are running the show now.

Woke23 Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Vuolas replaces Craig Cook at Oxford due to a rumoured "high heart rate" that sent him to hospital. That makes it a fair few meetings missed across both leagues now for Craig. I'm glad to be proven wrong because I thought Cookie would've been the better option over Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than Glasgow do a kids race, was one on BSN from scunny on Friday, maybe it's a directive from Mr Godfrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 12 hours ago, SJA said: I'm sorry but legally this is not the case. The business does not exist from the 17th June 2025, as stated at Companies House " Final Gazette dissolved via compulsory strike-off ". Therefore, there is not a company to be "taken on the business as a going". Compulsory strike off means they have debts than are unable to be paid by existing assets. Could it not simply have been that, because relevant documents for Northside Speedway Training Track had not been submitted since Comets joined the NDL the regulator concluded that that particular company no longer existed following the absence of response to warnings.?

I totally agree that SJA is right to raise the issue that there will be creditors of the old trading company who will have lost out financially. I wonder if Comets fans who want to conveniently brush that under the carpet and move on would be as forgiving if they were owed money? Have a bit of sympathy for those who won't get a penny back of any monies they were owed. It's no wonder speedway in this country has reached a crisis point when so many questionable business practices are accepted as normal and acceptable! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know anything is getting 'conveniently brushed under the carpet' or is this pure conjecture. Who are these ' creditors of the old trading company who will have lost out financially'?. Who won't get a penny back? . Perhaps you can clarify with examples what you mean by 'so many business practices are accepted as normal and acceptable' . if this is all assumption then with respect you should keep it to yourself instead of trying to make out the Comets have cheated fictitious creditors out of money. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go more rhubarb. Just be grateful there is another track still operating as clearly you know how it feels to lose your club. Time to move on and focus on the future of Speedway in general. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only deal in facts. Although I do hold others to account who voice opinion as fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
