very pleased for glasgow fans but as a workington die hard im really worried looks like workington speedway is in self distruct nothing going right and crowd very poor with a performance like tonight just how can people pay extra for a double helping next week at this moment in time im unsure if ill be there next week theres just no entertainment in it anymore so for what will be proberbly £25 i might aswell put that money to better use maybe go to redcar on thursday instead

very good point and off topic but just how many covers have appeared over silencers now ? you can see the ones who have nothing to hide as the silencer is discoulred with heat where the restrictor/baffle plate is im always a tad suss with the riders using nice shinny silencers or them with a new cover over them didnt see them before the new rule as far as im aware

i always thought the limit was zero riders know the limit and they know theres regular tests so night before or drinking on the day does not come in to it its zero during race period regardless

not relevant realy o alcohol limit so he knew he shouldnt be drinking wonder if there was any other substance tested for

workington can run any night aslong as stadium is available remember its a rugby club that also runs speedway so the rugby has first call

all the blame can not be put on workington promotion somerset rain off when somerset locals say no rain atall apart from small shower in afternoon and others who dont want to run on the night originaly schedualed because they are washing there hair or something

always plenty off parking in the stadium grounds but unfortunatly we dont have many speedway meetings this season

the prem league does not play second fiddle to the elite when riders double up the club who owns the riders contract gets first call regardless of what league they ride in just as it should be the problem is theres too many riders on loan rather than clubs using riders signed on full contracts

theres 1 or 2 worky fans that like to shout mainly on forums where they shoot everyone down who speaks the truth and they also ware rose tinted glasses but loudest fans or not the comets finished 2nd ahead of the smug monarchs and the loud shouting redcar

so you are saying that a doctor who lets say is a eye specalist would also know everything required to be a brain surgeon motorsports and other areas are totaly different and if youve never been involved before you may not know what is required and after all the kit required could have been something that is specific to speedway

thats the thing was it a misunderstanding or just taking it for granted the doctor new what he needed but the good thing is it was spotted before it was too late and a rider was down injured without the correct medical kit to treat him so maybe the set up at derwent park is better than other tracks after all how do we know that some tracks dont run without proper cover in place who says it was signed the meeting never got underway

because the doctor on the day was a stand in and it hadnt been made clear what he needed it was another member of the staff that asked if they had all the correct equipment it was only then that it was made clear they needed something which the doctor dosnt need for his normal dutys there has been a failure in comunication or people not understanding what was needed but its as a rule of the regular doctor not being present for whatever reason

great all round team performance tonight and thats not only the 4 riders and rossco but every one involved will be much harder in the final aslong as we try and are not disgraced i wont complain at finishing 4th would think denmark or poland will take the tittle

with usa going through to next round in world cup we have to use r/r for ricky wells how many meetings can we get in before he returns world cup final next saturday and also might be a shortage of stadium staff if they were to try and run on saturday

not many are welcomed at redcar thease days

i agree with the above post by halifaxtiger speedway promotors take the fans for granted and dont really promote the sport as such they just run it speedway is dying on its feet in britan ive been watching the sweedish league on eurosport on tuesday nights why cant british elite league be as exciting as that proberbly main reason is the points limit is too low and they have now brought in 2 national league riders at reserve to keep costs down now briniging in the kids will be a good thing for some of them as it will give them a great chance to improve but it weakens the overall product

not to mention the torental rain that was forcast and arived in the afternoon the road around dunmail park had its usuall reduced width du to the flooding that we get during heavy downpoors last sundays meeting went down well didnt it not the best night for speedway in my opinion

wont get many workington fans arguing with you on this theres just something in the ridding style of some off the riders that says they are not fully comited

come on taylorj it was anounced a couple of days ago that nielson couldnt ride for workington as he had signed for newcastle and would be riding for them your slipping lass

with regards to simon nielson i think sundays performance was the best hes ever rode as a guest for us hes scored some good points against us mind like a few other riders scott brady comes to mind could score double figures riding against us but book him as guest and he was awfull

funny old world speedway when a club folds others rally round to give them grace and allow them in for free if they have a season ticket for a defunct club but the rest of the time they just want to charge us as much as they can for as little as possible

we were told a few weeks back that drinks and light snacks would soon be on sale in the back straight bar wonder what happened as there not on sale yet as far as i know if the burger van kept there prices affordable they woul maybe have sold enough to make it worth while but a couple i stand with stopped using the burger van on the 1st bend early on in the season when the prices kept going up and down from week to week

there are some good riders round at the moment but overall i dont think that the quality in depth is in speedway as it was a few years back its allways hard to judge different eras as the equipment is different and tracks are prepaired different edinbrugh are on a role and pulling off results that really most dont expect some of its luck some of them are just the right place at the right time when other teams are having a off night at home due to injuries or track conditions

bellego goes very well round workington

the thing is the fans pay there entry fee and in return they expect to be entertained if the promotion are putting on a below standard product then they ask for all negativity that comes with it weak teams poor track no back up from food/drink stalls its all down to the promotion the fans cant turn it round if the promotion of any team dosnt want to do it any more then let someone else take over dont run it into the ground before letting someone else try and bring it back to life
