Sometimes it's cheaper to fly a rider in rather than pay millage allowance to travel, and some amounts UK based riders are asking is unbelievable, a foreign rider is often cheaper. Think about it how many young riders, good or not so good want to be full time speedway riders, without having a 2nd income !!
Worky / Northside have been chosen to host the FIM European 125 championship in August. Maybe a minor FIM meeting, but if things go well and the bigwigs are impressed, may lead to bigger FIM meetings being held at Workington in the future ?
Your in the building trade, maybe you could build something new for the stadium, won't take long as to make it fit inside the stadium, it will only take a few bricks ð
Think you best take your blinkers off, it's a small ?? stadium ( could say more ð ) but they are having a good go to attract crowds and entertain the fans so hats off to them for doing that ð maybe @lewy could help them out more ÂĢÂĢÂĢÂĢ ð
Think at one time WH Smith were wanting a lot of money to stock the magazine, don't know if it still applies now, but up in worky, speedway star is on the shelves at Morrisons. I get mine via subscription, and today for the 1st time for a while, it turned up on Thursday
Don't know what speedway you were watching, but Newcastle were definitely a glamour club with Tom and Joe Owen having a 11 point average and winning by big margins, even though it pains me to say this as a comet's fan.
Havvy had about 4 very good seasons with the comets, latter to be team manager for various clubs then making Redcar what it is now. RIP havvy
