Yes, but the other drug found in his system was Benzoylecgonine, which, when taken, produces it's own cocaine through the body. So it does not necessarily follow that Richie took cocaine on it's own.

When did Newcastle "drop" Connor Mountain? He rode throughout the whole of the 2021 season and was given a starting place at his own club the following year, which ruled him out of the Diamonds team. Joe Alcock rode in the first 3 matches and was replaced by Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, who lasted 4 matches and he was then replaced by Archie.

I agree, but who would pay for it? Almost certainly the fans with an extra increase of the admission charge.

I think the cost of that would be prohibitive, though.

It hasn't been cancelled though, it has been postponed.

Would the League fixture not take priority?

Let's hope (IF it's off), it's postponed, rather than cancelled......

Some on here have been saying for quite a while now that Promoters should be Promoting the sport. Workington bring in a female rider and are accused of it being a PR stunt. They just can't win, can they?

That can be said for quite a few riders, though.

Very interesting points that you bring up here..... but I believe it's the wrong thread!!

As far as some fans are concerned, this is the serious stuff!!!! !!

Trigger is part of Redcar's 1-7, so would be ineligable, surely?

"Interesting" that they've put Celina L at number 7. Sam might struggle at 6 against the "better" reserves, but we'll see. Fascinating season ahead across on the West coast. Hope I can get across there at some point during the season.

But, was he not couriering them, rather than taking them?

What do you want them to do? If they haven't signed anyone, they haven't signed anyone. The rider has to be right for Workington, that's financially (I guess that's the main one), points wise, availability and the right "fit" for the team.

It beggars belief how some "fans" think that, just because it's sunny today, they think the meeting should go ahead, despite the fact it's been raining "all week" and "speedway is a farce" because they can't control the weather. Give yourself a shake, man.

Yes it is!! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/ben-fund-goes-live/

It's £3.50 for ONE can

The Ben Fund Bonanza will now be held at the GT Tyres Arena...... the NEW name for Northside: https://workingtoncomets.com/the-gt-tyres-arena/

Northside has a new name... https://workingtoncomets.com/the-gt-tyres-arena/

I don't think that some people have grasped that it is supposed to be a "Development" League.

Agreed, but they (seem to) choose those other recreational choice, rather than attend speedway. Apologies for helping to go "off thread"!!

If needed, they can open the overflow car park (with permission) of the Kart track, can they not (as they did for the CLRC).
