Severity
of Arson Attack Admitted
Speedway Star, Posted 04/03/05
There is a little more coverage than normal
of the Tigers in this weeks Speedway Star with a good deal of coverage
being given to last October's arson attack on the stadium and how
close things came to Glasgow being unable to run at Ashfield this
season.
Stewart Dickson admits in a separate article that
after they saw the severity of the damage inside the stand he feared
that Glasgow may have been frozen out of the 2005 campaign.
There is also mention that the damage could be part
of a vendetta against Glasgow Tigers or Ashfield FC. There have been
many instances of vandalism at the stadium in the Tigers time there
as well as a couple of break ins at the bar. Stewart is quoted as
saying: -
'I definitely think there is somebody out there
against Glasgow Speedway or Ashfield FC, and the football club would
be first to point out that these attacks on the Stadium didn't happen
until we moved in, which backs up the theory that someone wants us
out'
All repair work on the stand is due to be completed
by the beginning of next week.
