You would be surprised who reads this forum, sometimes just as a guest, hi to you all 😉

Is it ? You can’t beat being there

I put it on the forum months ago about speedway running as a charity,my reason for this idea/thought was brought about by a team looking for some land was told yes you can build a track here but it’s a few million pound but other sports on the site get their facility built for free by the council via grants because they are either a charity or amateur basis and not the professional entity it parades round as ,anyway I was thinking how do you pay professional riders if your a charity? Then I read today that the Glastonbury festival is a charity, really ? That is either the biggest scam in Britain or a genius way to run things,Is the way forward for the sport ?

But have TV viewing fiqures on par with 2or 3 tier football and more than most other sports at league level so the question is really how do we get those people into stadiums

Another day mate 😉

I don’t know what name they run under
-
So he wouldn’t of needed to file accounts till 2024 and what if that’s under a different name like many tracks are, I don’t know anything about Workington company’s or who holds the accounts or anything, I’m just saying it’s a bit strong to call someone a crook when we don’t know
-
I’ve seen and when did Workington speedway as we know it open ?
-
I find it hard to believe that someone with a profile such as Workington wouldn’t file an account, paying up on that account yes but filling one ? Even crooks file accounts they just tend to miss bits off or add bits on
-
When the last accounts were filed the new current track and Workington speedway didn’t exist, just the little training track, that could explain why nothing has been filed under that account ? And it runs now under a different account But we don’t know do we
-
Think that’s a bit strong at this stage without knowing what the issue actually is
-
It can do it and it will but it’s not a question of just putting a seal on an engine, there needs to be a happy medium struck between the riders and SCB and once in place that’s where the fun really starts trying to police it, I said earlier GM seem keen for the idea and I know people like broomie the engine tuner is all for change but you got to convince the riders and you know how they will react
-
It’s run by the riders
-
Tatum did the same in the Dudley wolves trophy meetings and if he got a maximum for the spoons in the morning he had to get a maximum at night for wolves otherwise we would of nailed him to a dart board 😂

Not that it won’t work and we cant or shouldn’t do it as I think we can and we will but speedway works on 100% wheel spin, every other bike sport works on 100% drive, it is exactly the opposite, like asking a colander manufacturer how to make a boat,moto 2 etc is purely down to achieving the most amount of power out of a unit and that will win races, speedway has nothing to do with actual maximum power, it’s how you can get the actual power available to get a spinning wheel to go forward it’s nothing to do with learning from professionals, remember when akrapovic tried to build a speedway silencer ? A world leading silencer manufacturer used in professional bike sports everywhere and where is it ? Nowhere because it didn’t work aswell as Dave kings Chinese made ones

Not being from that area I can only look on from a far but from what I see, they have a no1 who on occasions takes the pee with his performances, another rider who puts Poland before Workington and I can only guess how that makes the worky fans feel, running in an afternoon imo is not great but wouldn’t stop me going, price again is too expensive but again wouldn’t stop me going, no continuity with home meetings is frustrating and in general the team being poor results wise will always affect a crowd, football is a perfect example of that
