Have you seen the forecast for Workington on Saturday

I've only just realised they have changed the start time to the Redcar meeting, I was planning on traveling through for the Workington Reds game then walk over for the speedway. To change for the World Cup meeting on TV has anyone seen the team GB have out after Dan confirmed he was not riding ? Team GB will be well back in 4th place with the new team format.

Lawson has got by recently due to the points he scores on track, promoters must just turn a blind eye to his constant lateness to meetings with dirty bikes he can not be bothered to wash. This story about babysitting duties does not crop up that late in the day its just a good story to go with without getting a suspension. Apparently fell out with most of his family back home for whatever reason so seems low on support.

Why do we have to get information so important put out through Cumbria Crack and not through the clubs own channels ? Something as serious as not running next year should not come out in a Cumbria Crack post. Some honest talking from James but surely this should come from Andrew

Some great points made there. Cook signing was definately a huge mistake and let us down, as predicted. Agree on the presentation to it's the same everey week which does not bother me as I go for the racing but to attract new fans maybe better interaction with the riders as in better parades or riders going up to the bar to meet fans after the racing as that might attract interest, the riders could just take turns. Going to be a very short season which again does not help as the gap until nest season will be a very long time. The whole speedway calender is a joke, we in the kids summer holidays but hardly any fixtures. The local buissness's really do seem to help out to keep the speedway going without a doubt i'd agree.

Your wrong about this, the track was watered yesterday as I watched the tractor waiting for the riders to finish there track walk but then I think it was the meeting sponsors on a track walk delayed the watering until they moved out of the way this was about 5.30 so that's when the track was watered. The weather and drying wind just dried it out. I stood on the back straight and there was zero dust there, obviously not saying there was no dust as could clearly see there was but just stand away from the wind direction. Bar the results no one can complain of the quality of racing the last two meetings as there has been more passing than most tracks see.

Cook has let this team down masively this season missing them early crucial meetings which we could easily have won if he had been bothered to turn up. Just a pity Klindt was not available a couple of weeks earlier as I agree Kemp is not the same quality. I think Jackobsen is a decent rider but needs to just calm down a little and be patient instead of making stupid attempts to pass, he going to really hurt himself if he keeps that up.

Credit for Cook for turning up for Jay's meeting, but he could not even do all his rides before packing in again. Seen him changed on 1st bend watching when he should have been riding, sore shoulder !!!!

I don't think it's Comets fans claiming Kemp is a poor signing it's others. Some comets fans just don't realise that Cook has been at fault quite a few times with his exploits away from the track but they defend him to the hilt with his mental health issues. Cook is a good rider but Workington could not continue with his commitment to not turning up and not riding.

No shock this is it ? Rode well too when he did bother to turn up this season Andrew gave him a second chance or maybe a 5th chance but he did not take it.

Has anyone 1 spare South Stand ticket for Friday & Saturday ?

I think using the riders away average for guest booking would be a much fairer or equal way to replace the rider missing.

Very early call off this, forcast does not look that bad to make a call now.

My concern on Cook is he has not been near since his "injury" even only living down the road which I find strange, you would think he would be down supporting his team mates.
