  1. is it not something to do with the previous years state championship ?
  2. So , Friday the 12th of April is the date for the first meeting and not March ! Bandits will turn you over .
  3. A speedway fixture at home every two weeks . i would be happy with that and as HGould above says . one at home every two weeks will make you want to go every fortnight . i would be keen as flip .
  4. so the collector stole the official shield and then loaned it back for the final .. or is that fake news ?
  5. wasnt there a certain aussie who came over on a holiday visa and rode a few meetings for workington , or was it just one ?
  6. did the club not get any reward from the bspa for winning the league and two cups . were there no cash incentives for winning those 3 trophies given to the comets management at all ?
  7. i thought Glasgow were starting on March 1st . according to the fixture list, they have their 1st meeting on April 12th v Berwick . or will their be a few early fixtures thrown in ?
  8. we all ruin a good thread , now and then .
  9. Silloth airfield. ,that brings back mameries ! my old man had a ford anglia in the stocks . by the time he had welded/bolted girders into it . it had the top speed and acceleration of a Sinclair c5 . it was pink, hence the name the pink panther with back off boogaloo written on the boot .didnt last long tho . if i . remember correctly , there were large tyres around the rugby pitch to stop the cars running onto it. i think they also tried motocross there as well (but not on the hallowed turf) my old man jumped through a flaming hoop of fire at derwent park on my yammy trail bike , just asked to borrow it . didnt tell . me he was going to try and set it on fire tho . way too much elf and safety nowadays . folk cannot enjoy theme selves at all . entertainment now ? its a toss up between C.F.C. or the REDS now . rugby is not my thing .
  10. all our stock cars are being used on the roads , so there is no need for a stock car track to be built in the area . SO LETS CREATE ONE AND DO A SCUNNY .
  11. good to see you ruining another thread !
  12. maybe all the more reason to push for Northside as a proper track . i know there are a few complications etc . its been part time , maybe full time could happen .
  13. fACEBOOK ! whats that ? is the the one where your husband or wife looks up old school friends/work colleges ? then the next thing you know , he or she is leaving you for an old school friend work mate etc . then you are saddled with a 2nd mortgage to pay them out , but still have to pay for kids and the extra money they get off you goes towards a new car for the new partner and not to the welfare of the offspring . not speaking from experience or owt like OH, that facebook .
  14. i am sure that there were some artificial corners laid on the rugby pitch years ago , ( 70 ish ?)? to help with the corners on the speedway track .so if the reds get relegated , whats the point of a new stadium for rugby and poss NO proper football team in a decent league ? ........ more money well spent by people with big ideas . IF speedway returns , i can see it being @ Northside . just needs a bit of tinkering size wise and a Donald Trump style wall around it .
  15. i am led to believe that a speedway bike will not run properly when it is just taken out of the crate (so to speak) it needs set up for the conditions that it will work in . unlike motocross bikes where its plug n play . these animals wont run correctly at all . allow tuners etc , but only in the top league and start putting engine numbers on the casings so they can be traced . (will stop a lot of theft as well ).
  16. r c where ya comin fra bonny lad . teams have already gone 4/5 weeks without a home meeting and some will ride more home or away . but its the shortening of the season that gets to fans and the long gaps between fixtures . a two/three week gap is not the answer . but it will stretch the season out a bit longer . .. sheff finished in mid june ! i think lol . rider availability should not be an issue. the bspa . or scb . whatever they call themselves now (more like billy smarts circus) had the chance to make the elite/premiership just that and screwed it up big style . there is no way certain high average riders should be allowed in lower leagues . thats whats killing it . i would rather wait a couple of weeks for the next fixture if worky were still around for a meeting .we have scammers on the internet , now we have them in speedway . well . i am of to Carlisle for a pint . will it be worth it , you bet .
  17. why dont you just buy your programmes on the match day and save the ink ?
  18. dry, as in very few fixtures in the U.K. speedway scene ? i think its time to run the speedway fixtures like the football did . once a fortnight @ home and the following week away . that way the season will seem longer ! fans will keep an interest in the sport and look forward to the next home fixture . eh ..
  19. all riders earn their money. kyle invests to get better and progress in his chosen sport . one day mate , you will be up there . was looking forward to seeing your 2nd year in the championship. looks like i may have to get the passport renewed to see you race .. stick in kid , ya got it .
  20. as BWD did want to ride @ workington in 19 . ii have moved jobs , not for better pay . works both ways , dunnit ? .
