Future West has regretfully announced the cancellation of the Glasgow round of this year's Future West ACU British Supercross Championship.
The company has worked hard to return a round of the series to Scotland after a seven-year absence from the region, but cites the unreliability of local contractors has made it impossible to carry on with the event scheduled for November 26.
Future West wishes to thank the Scottish motocross community for its support and help in trying to make this event work. It is really unfortunate to all involved and Future West would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused the UK motocross community. Full refunds for tickets are available from the Arena and rider entry refunds are available from the ACU or can be switched to the Belfast, London or Birmingham rounds of the series
John Hellam had this to say: "This is a very disappointing and frustrating situation. Ticket sales are not the problem here. The event was selling well and expected to sell out. A lot of good people in the area have worked very hard to make this work, including Braehead Arena and its staff, but unfortunately last minute inflation on prices by event contractors have made it impossible to continue with the event for this year.
"We are exploring other possible dates and venues to replace this round and will keep everyone updated as the series moves forward.
"Because of the cancelation Future West has had long discussions with Braehead Arena and a tentative agreement has been put together for a three-year contract for Supercross at Braehead Arena starting in November of 2012. With a year's planning, we are positive the issues we are facing now can be resolved.
Next up for Future West is the Belfast round of British Supercross Championship, Saturday November 19 – at the Odyssey Arena.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
