more to the point a improving rider on 8.5 average is getting £100 a point so a rider in decline on 8.5 average wants £120 a point because the new kid on the block is getting £100 a point from the richer clubs

for me the lower average in the 2nd tier of british speedway just proves in my opinion that this league is actually tuffer and more competative the tracks are different how many reserves last year in "championship" were scoring big points in the premership but struggled in championship

cant argue with what your saying here but im not so sure its a good thing for the sport but hey its like celtic in the scotish football league aint it they have the money to sign who they want so the others pick up the rest which is what they wanted no clash with poland, gp week ends or sweeden and denmark

set nights hasnt changed much for our league apart from theres no top flight clubs riding at same time which pull riders away but i agree with you that there is a possibility of some clubs that can atract riders by better deals that is affecting the other clubs who have to pay more than they can afford to sign riders once 1 club starts paying better than the average rate then all others are competing against that 1 club its the same with all types of buisness if 1 firm on a large industrial estate is paying better wages then all the other firms loose staff to that firm when jobs are available sadly its just a fact of life

when matts on good form even after his mid season downer he can be a match winner ill admit that when his form dropped last year he was very lucky not to be dropped but theres plenty improvement in matt you see i watch speedway dont judge riders on there end of meeting score or there current average matts a decent rider we all know you have done a lot for workington speedway in the past but you really havnt got a clue have you jenga and his family have done more for speedway than probably every one in cumbria with maybe the exception of keith denham its great watching you all bight when you actually know the real jenga

dont try posting quotes while at work in poor signal lol

Id change barker straight away cause hes signed for redcar

things arnt 100% but your looking too much into it time will tell if all is sorted till then dont worry too much it will easily be sorted if they follow the rules rather than listen to the wrong people

also its great to get a few 1 off visitors but its the ones who will come back week after week thats needed a family atmosphere is whats needed again when you have fans coming treat them right in order for them to return

keswick is straight off the a66 then straight to workington go just a few miles more to ambelside or windermere and that extra few miles can take well over a hour in busy tourist season i know i travel them roads quite a lot its this part of the tourist part of the lake district i say is not really catchment area also id say the average tourist that is in the lake district will be more of a fell walker and "greeny" who would class motorsport as a sin

im sure workington town are working on things nothing to do with workington comets ill say

lets just say all might not be in place that needs to be

hearing reports that changes at the rugby club could bite the speedway on its a#se hope they get things sorted before march

been many a rider for many a team started going down hil towards end of season when there looking to move on the season after

perfect example of pasionate fans and promotion working together some promotions wont allow fans to have anything to do with the club or even considor there views

its been said on a few posts that newcomers are still on a 2 point average no restrictions means you dont have to use a 2 point rider

sure it was said 42.50 limit with no restrictions think the compulsery 2ppointer rule was a big disaster so back to the old way just let teams fill the places with whoever they think will do the job or fit the budget

roynons a great guy though aint he always very friendly with fans from all teams

there were rumours mid season bewley would be at workington next year and as he lives only a few miles from workington its not really that strange he was there

im happy for glasgow fans as they were alwaysgood friendly fans but now all other clubs have to try compete with the glasgow promotion which is a negative in the current climet

jorgonson had a mixed season some very good some poor i think the main problem was everyone expected more from him

dont know if its true or not but been told any riding in poland can only ride 1 other league

so they have said hope to announce 1st rider next week so who do you all think it will be and why do you think they announce that 1 first

yep granted testimonial aswell thought he retiered last year then came back isnt that breaking contract ?

there isnt such a thing as meaniless fixtures there all there for to entertain the fans regardless of cup ties league or friendlys i go to be entertained not to see if they get through to the next round
