  1. depends how far away you think is acceptable there was plenty of others closer who were not medical staff thats the part in which made me think they were far enough away to not be a distraction and what about the people standing infront of the pit gate blocking the ambulance coming out even after the ambulance sounded its horn they were slow at mooving and they wernt ipswich riders
  2. wasnt really sure what the grandstand crowd was getting upset about in all fairness to ipswich they were well away from where rene was being looked over so not a issue in my opinion i have more of a issue when theres more track staff leaning over than medical staff were all concerned when a rider from any team goes down but leave it to the medical staff and give them room to work
  3. agree with you here we were all worried and really coudlnt see a home win but the lads pulled in back in good style we were lucky again and we owe a lot to our guest and new reserve signing
  4. we knew while the meeting was still running word gets round pritty quick on some matters hope all are well and all that but you were close to being this weeks topic just like workington were last week
  5. personaly i think howarth let us down a rider who rolls round in pain like he did saturday was never gonna be fit enough to ride 3 days later
  6. storry ive heard 1 top member of workington staff wanted to ask the paying public what they wanted to do as in wait or go so im not sure who actualy made the call regardless of if you think it was right or wrong call its done and dusted now if the bspa think theres something wrong with the call then im sure they will step in i wish it had continued but im not crying over it draw a line under it and move on
  7. no booing could be heard down next to the bar on the back straight booing and cheering is all part of speedway sometimes its not so good when a rider is lying injured but most speedway fans dont actualy watch the full race they only watch the lead rider or the riders from there team
  8. nothing rasist in my post just facts i couldnt hear any booing but there were fans celibrating there sides heat win where is the rasist connection in that i have scotish relatives so far from being rasist towards them
  9. where i was i couldnt hear any fans booing but on the back straight there was plenty cheering when kyle went down and after the race while the medical staff were atending to kyle
  10. wont be allowed a guest for howarth only josh and ashley unless 1 off the others are missing aswell it will be r/r for kyle
  11. going by google maps the distance between derwent park and wc hospital is 10.9 miles and 21 mins travel time now any one local will know its a small understaffed a&e department on arival by ambulance unless your life is in imediate danger you will be kept on the ambulance or in a coridoor untill someone is free to see you therefore the medical crew that transport you there have to stay with you untill youre handed over also a few are saying about ambulance cover and comparing to other tracks some tracks pay for county ambulance workington run with st johns ambulnce with fully qualified doctor also in attendence so the st johns ambulance hasnt the same cover for transporting injuried parties at times unless the doctor goes with them workington have a seperate medical room as the back up but the ambulance being of site along with the doctor will have stopped all racing untill another ambulance was on site at least thats how i understand it
  12. feel for all the people stuck there in the bad conditions the organizors should foot the bill and get them all a hot meal the weather is in the hands of the gods but keeping people in for 2 hours after start time and then calling it off without a wheel being turned is not acceptable
  13. but he came under pressure once wells went for glory thats why this is a team sport and team riding you look after your riding partner if you can to score more points for the team
  14. most acurate account ive seen on last nights win if redcar had 3 riders on song we would have more than not had another home defeat some workington riders final score flattered there performance a fair bit as for robbo well he was unfortunate in heat 1 jim mcgregor at his best cancelled the 2 mins and put them on freash 2 mins when they lined up at tapes he said the freash 2 mins was because robbo was excluded for not making the original start then going off 15 metres robbo fell before the first bend all on his own and didnt do much in his next rides too
  15. and didnt carr actualy pass wells on the fist lap
  16. redcar can be a good track to visit more often than not you get a good meeting but wrap up warm its a cold place to visit
  17. very true but some 3 point riders score more than others chris mills wasnt scoring 3 points very often thats the problem some 3 pointers sometimes can score 5 or 6 at home chris was running last places too often at home even in ht 2
  18. interesting to see who will come in and will the team be declared in time to ride sheffield thursday
  19. some workington fans are only happy when we win easy for me aslong as we put up a good fight and we get the entertainment we paid for then ill take defeat on the chin but last night and the home defeat by edinbrugh the team just wernt good enough ashley rode better than in the past and most the others had good rides but we had too many last places some from riders that looked like they didnt want to be there
  20. if this thread saves a few fans from getting points and loosing the ability to get to speedway on a regular basis then its served its purpose i know some like some banter but im all for alerting people of potential speed camera /income generators ive had 4 speeding convictions in my time 1 yes fair play i was going well over the limit and got a outright ban but the other 3 were all within a few mph over the respective limits but thats part of being a motorcyclist you get let of easier when driving cars as i know from experience
  21. but that was 1 rider newcastle have dropped 2 and the averages wouldnt allow the sacked rider to still be in the team listing slightly different and they used r/r not a guest
  22. suerly he must have been declared as no guest facility would be allowed for a position left open by a rider who has been sacked ?
  23. ive said for a few years now all teams should have a number 8 if not when riding with a full 7 man team then certainly when using r/r
  24. this meeting has been cancelled next speedway at workington i believe is friday 23rd 7.30 pm
  25. entertainment is the reason we all should go to speedway not just to see our own team win regardless good post abbott
