A lot of it now is how fast you can evacuate an area if !! Something happened, often on temporary stands you have long lines of seats and few exit plaxes where in stadiums,these lines of seats are shorter and more exit points, plus the amount of stewards required per so many of a crowd is a big ask these days

Shhhh they haven't found worky yet

How the hell do pirates fans ? Take over most forum pages

No greyhound track at Plymouth

The lad only turned 16 2 weeks ago, imo got lots of potential, but I think guesting for premiership sides a bit too early in his speedway career

Won't be boxall riding at Mildenhall on Sunday now

No good if you live in worky 325 miles each way

Elf and safety unfortunately take over everywhere, alsorts of rules in place to comply with increased crowds, and common sense goes out of the window

Got a premier Inn booked yesterday just after date announced, just ove £300 for 2 notes, can live with that price, looked later as a friend was trying to find somewhere, same hotel £600 !!! Other 4* hotels £600 a nite !!! Not a bit of wonder people think twice about going, can do Poland cheaper

Even better Geoff I've got a deal £45 for a Sunday nite

Most city centre hotels are now priced around £150 or more on a Saturday nite, with or without events on, but you would not know Geoff as you get free digs with driving the bus by the way have you priced up the Keswick premier inn, £175-200 a night!! So Cardiff is cheaper

Enjoyed watching on TV last night, went last year, could not go this time due to holidays, but have booked a hotel for 2024, yea not cheap, but it's a great weekend catching up with friends from worky and all over the country, bring it on

How cheap did them trophies look also fireworks very poor this year

Congrats to the tiggers only team to ride as a pair especially in the final , cammie knickers now has a job this week to clear the spiders and dust out of the trophy cupboard

Seen the kid 3-4 times this year at worky, very impressed for a 15/16 year old can gate can overtake and not a one line pony. Willing to race, if he keeps grounded and gets some good help and advice along the way. IMO he will go far, the last 2 riders I had the same feeling about were Joe screen riding round belle Vue after the meeting, and Dan bewley, I've been following this daft sport since 1970, so can spot good or bad

When Workington closed in 1981 I still followed speedway, traveling to Bradford, belle Vue Middlesbrough etc and the one off championship rounds. Never lost the interest still got speedway star, no forums back then, Today still following speedway lots of away trips, worky been reborn twice 1999 and 2023 I'm still enjoying the journey

Been bikes racing on track today, don't know who was involved, but Ashton boughen put a couple of videos on his Facebook page

No Workington have an agreed long lease for the land off the local council who own the land

Also Kent iffy, Mildenhall iffy, heard new would be Leicester owners have no interest in ndl speedway, no Armadale, think that leaves comets Oxford and belle Vue!!!

Dan Bewley got back OK so others should

Led to believe the Scottish police still have his number 1 bike after the incident at armadale the other week,

Not the 1st time either they forgot or didn't want too in 2018 when comets won the treble

As I've previously said, the people who run British speedway have got to have a plan to go forward and help clubs survive, or move up into other leagues. but good / any planning and British speedway don't go together

On a positive speedway is back in Workington, the northside arena set up is great, the track is great, big thanks to Andrew Bain and Steve Lawson , I'm enjoying following the sport ( still ) since 1970 But today's meeting we'll !! I was predicting a deafeat today, R/R can handle, but 13 last places, and carrying 2 riders, who are well off, one not even on the pace, defeat is the only outcome, should be winning home meetings and competitive away, Had a large crowd in today, how many will return for the last home match against Kent ?? Gonna keep the faith onwards and upwards

A very enjoyable meeting last night at the NSS some very good racing, the travelling comets fans had a enjoyable visit, close meeting, if a couple of comets could gate better we could of won, unfortunate todays return could be very different belle Vue back at full strength against comets poor gating!!
