  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. How cheap did them trophies look also fireworks very poor this year
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Been bikes racing on track today, don't know who was involved, but Ashton boughen put a couple of videos on his Facebook page
  8. No Workington have an agreed long lease for the land off the local council who own the land
  9. 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!!!
  10. Led to believe the Scottish police still have his number 1 bike after the incident at armadale the other week,
  11. Not the 1st time either they forgot or didn't want too in 2018 when comets won the treble
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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!!
  15. Imo it's too early for the Comets to move up, need to have another year at this level, the people in charge of speedway need a good plan to what is going to happen in the future as its is now around 4-6 track may not be running next year, top league needs to attract some clubs to replace the ones who will/may lose their stadiums, could go on with more reasons. But it's speedway day weather looks OK get down to the northside arena and enjoy watching the comets win (hopefully)
  16. Should be an interesting meeting today, track should ride good, belle Vue back at full strength, Comets put on a good show last night at the NSS a very enjoyable meeting, BUT the riders need their gating shoes on ,as last night all struggled to gate, and a couple of riders were very off the pace!!! Losing 3-4 points off your last year's average says it all really !!! Anyway rant over speedways back at the northside arena UTC
  17. Too any belle Vue fans, is the back straight open for these meetings? Coming down from worky to watch the comets at the NSS
  18. Several questions previously asked, no concrete answers, several suspicions
  19. In conners statement he was having a 21st birthday celebration, also a full time apprentice with allied vehicles/Ford, and lives in Glasgow, as British U21 champion maybe he should have been 1st replacement when the seeded riders started to drop like flies
  20. Yeah can see a pole s##ting themselves seeing Plymouth after polish/Peterborough tracks
  21. Regarding your new signing, maybe waiting to make sure he's not injured at Peterborough tonight, Maybe Oxford have a bigger piggy bank than Glasgow Regarding Ashton
  22. A lot lot better than Mr b . Plus Ashton can ride a bike and overtake, unlike the other person mentioned did
  23. Agree with what you say, but have seen the young kid 3 times this year and he's got the lot, a big future, the last rider I felt the same about at the same age was Joe screen going ride belle Vue after meetings at 15
  24. What's wrong with doing that . Poole fans spam every thread
