It could be, the cord has been taped to the handlebar, but if the rider came off, the cord would tear through the tape and the cut out would do its job!

Thurrock Hammers ??

Lovely! Thank you! 🥰 -
The Northampton stadium looks a nice stadium, they have made several improvements. I get updates on Facebook. Of course, it's a stock car and banger track and would probably need extra rider protection, as they have put in place at Mildenhall.

I have in the past, but been shot down in flames. I'm certainly not going to waste my time regurgitating what I've said in the past, just to be shot down again by the 'all is fine and rosy in speedway brigade'!

The simple fact, which I have banged on about for years and have received much criticism against my views, is the costs for the riders, promoters and spectators, needs to greatly reduce. Some of the people who criticised my comments, their tracks have long gone! No names, no pack drill, but Newcastle springs to mind!

Archie Wilkinson Cycles

Oh dear! What will that mean for cycle speedway? I realise it's a small market, but the frames and forks are quite simple in design? -
Are Archie Wilkinson cycle speedway bikes still manufactured? Or is it now only Pedal Power and Mielec?
-
I didn't know Vatcher was still involved in speedway! 🙄
-
On that basis, why is it still a team sport/activity? 🤔
-
Would riders today, agree to ride in those conditions?
-
Oh yes! I had forgotten that you were exiled to Beddington Loch/Lock for a few years (I think that was the name), before returning to your spirital home!
-
They have had their wobbly moments over the years!

I think that is it, we all give up! Speedway has had its head in the sand for many years. I love (or loved speedway), but I do feel the game is up, in its current guise, here in the UK.

Ok, but people on here keep saying they owe HMRC tax, maybe they do, maybe they don't. For sure, HMRC have no idea. If it is as you say, the company is insolvent, the creditors will be looking for some kind of recovery.

As I recall, the previous promoter of Workington, was an accountant and sadly, the lady couldn't square the circle. Maybe, it is a reality check that team speedway is not viable in Workington, with all the operating costs, in particular, riders demands!
