May I helpfully suggest Leicester is closer and all Panthers fans would be made most welcome.

Who cares… Many of the spectators will be young females.It is a positive and refreshing move by the promotion obviously echoed by Workington.

Doesnt Chris get one for EVERY team?

Not only Glasgow do it, Workington are quite good on social media as well

Any extra meetings she can get can only be beneficial to her and to the Comets, surely ?

Surprised to see Celina in the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue, that could be a baptism of fire for the start of her British league career

Speedway is part of the entertainment industry, and a priority for any entertainment business is getting bums on seats. Celina will probably put more bums on seats than any other rider in the field, so of course she's there on merit. With the PCMT field usually being around GP standard, she'll struggle to pick up points, but she's certainly good enough to pick up points in the Championship for Workington in a second string/senior reserve role.

The grandstand has been decommissioned not demolished.

And it seems as though he won't let anyone else have his toy and play with it.

Again, something we are already miles behind on in comparison to Poland. All clubs over there already have to do this and use a set template with league sponsors all positioned the same on each club’s shirt, along with their role and which rider they are representing. It looks very professional although probably not an essential, given some of the costs already facing teams in this country. All this about limiting riders to only 1 mechanic and health and safety is a load of nonsense too.

Of course you are right, thanks Buster when you got your new toy for Christmas and then tossed it in the bin when you got bored with it..

She rode at Belle Vue last summer.

But Plymouth have to have somebody…. If you don’t want Kennett, don’t want BWD and all the other possibles are in Poland then what other options do you have? Maybe drop a reserve and sign 2 x 6 pointers instead?

Why ? From watching videos and seeing her at worky she likes big fast tracks, had similar times at both Redcar and worky to the main meetings, this on borrowed bikes, also good PR for belle Vue, Cellina snd speedway in general. Let's enjoy the journey UTC

fair comment

Well said...... ridiculous really.

I think they've done well to have a set of clear rules for the different foreign leagues, far better than what was previously the case. However they've already broken this new ruling with Celina Liebman signing for Workington on a 4.00 average, as she's ridden in the U24 Extraliga should be 5.00. Also interesting to see new foreigners can sign for a Prem side on a 3.50 average. Does that mean the minimum average for foreigners is no longer 4.00 & current riders can drop below that now?

Blah blah blah.short memories, ( dad's army, title winners, funded by buster)just a tad ungrateful, no wonder buster pulled the plug. Your manager? Wrong.your riders? Also wrong.Tarasenki and woydlo funded by. .......Buster. Puk rode more years as a star than he did a panther, and actually started at lynn , Basso nearly came last year and is a Glasgow asset anyway. Not a lot of sugar in the grapes your way ,hey

Cud be if your not scoring well at Kings Lynn and Poland your confidence is down, then you don't have the easier ? league to gain confidence again, we all know Poland will drop you like a ton of bricks if you don't perform

Normally the weakest rider in this meeting has been a Prem second string / Champ heat leader. So can't see Celina beating anyone if that remains the same. I understand why Belle Vue are using her - for publicity / ticket sales, but not sure they could claim she's there on merit as a strong rider.

No chance, I'm going to Leicester until Panthers are hopefully resurrected.

It’s a development league with only 5 home matches, it isn’t about winning it’s about finding some new riders before the sport disappears altogether.

Maybe I have got rose tinted glasses on but I am making my points as a fan not a rider or more closely a mechanic as I was for over 10 years, all the gear no idea doesn’t attract fans

Dinosaur, maybe u think she should be at the sink instead.

Why on earth is Celina liebmann riding in this meeting when it's stopping one of the young lads maybe from riding?.Also feel sorry for Workington as they will definitely have at least one weak reserve.it is what it is I guess but wouldn't,t be too happy if I was a worky supporter.

He had a decent season in Poland last year.Can travel to Poland by air quicker than getting Worky by road I would imagine.

Have said it before, Doyle gets unfair stick. He has given the UK and world speedway nothing but 100 percent since he made his debt in Europe. He raced for Newport in 2011, had a knackered shoulder all season but still give nothing but 100 percent and put off getting surgery until after we had secured the KO cup trophy. Can be a little reckless on track but thats through over trying more than anything else. A brilliant rider and will be hugely missed once he retires. But I reckon thats still a while away and he will almost certainly be in the top 3 averages come the end of the season.

Down to the track not having proper pit marshalls doing their job then.

I agree and in league racing each rider should be limited to one mechanic and get the rest of the hangers on out of the pits and that includes riders not riding, girlfriends, and any other hanger on and there are many

Be more prudent to make sure only those who have to be in the pits are there and stop having all the hangers on who do nothing but get in the way, especially when something kicks off.
