A laptop during a race?

Cookie is a Cumbrian bloke, of course the fans want to support him, he's one of their own. It's a shame that the Workington mtg wasn't changed to accommodate the PRC? The Cumbrian fans don't seem to have taken Cookie to their hearts like they did Stoney, why is that?

Was gonna say we have til the end of October but the bloody GPs scupper that...

It's a chicken and egg situation basically, no fans, no money, no money, riders don't want to race for the club... get supporting your club Workington!!!

Getting speedway fans to actually 'share' posts on social media would be a start, so many likes but few shares! Market the riders ala Bruce Penhall?

See sense BSPA!

Depends if the fans want to see processions or racing but from a riders point of view if you can't race and pass it's unfair on those who don't gate.

What Cook, Jorgensen, Proctor, Williamson not entertaining? I came up to Worky quite a few times in our PL days and could never believe how generous the fans were, particularly in the bar after the meeting, there was always a good atmosphere, what has gone wrong?

That meeting should 100% be rearranged, ridiculous! Have until the end of October!

Shame on Workington people, sounds as though you will be losing your club through not supporting it, unbelievable!!!!

Why did James Sargent act like this, there is a reason of course, the fan's abuse? He wouldn't just do that would he?

It's important to do your best but if it's not good enough, to accept it.... not everyone can be World Champion....thank goodness TG became WC, his best was good enough in the end but had he never won, he'd always be a Polish Speedway legend.

If Dale has anything to do with it they should be

It still is a decent, smooth racetrack most of the time and afaik riders still get paid on time? We've had good teams most years.

There's no doubt the club needs someone to do a similar job to that Jonathan did a few years ago but whether the money is there to pay I don't know.

Yes, looking from the terraces.

Rob, Buster and Dale have been a good team together afa recruiting riders for years, nothing wrong with our team this year either, just went wrong after we sacked the Aussies. We have had so many problems with pivotal riders being injured that has messed up a good team at an important time, we have been very unlucky. I don't think we have a clue about what went on between Buster and Jonathan and KLS?

He admitted last Wednesday that being Chairman has led to him neglecting the club and his family. Marc didn't help himself with his relationship with the fans, he was very aloof imo...

Robert probably puts loads of pressure on himself to perform and earn money, he wants to make it to the top, he has the extra pressure of being captain at 19. He told me himself that he enjoyed the banter with Holder, he certainly wanted to team ride with him, it's important to have a laugh together. On Radio Norfolk yesterday he said that he thinks the fans should be given more information about what is going on during a meeting, he feels people get the wrong end of the stick about riders etc and it puts people off going to speedway. Sometumes when he approaches the big mouthed fans he just wants to put them right and/or know where their abuse is coming from. I well remember Jason crump getting lots of abuse at an ELRC at Coventry, it upset him big time as he couldn't understand what he was doing to deserve it.

You were saying he should be doing more, I obviously mistook your meaning, thought you meant he should be racing in the Polish Extraliga, hence my reply. As others have said he has struggled somewhat with injury, he also lost two fellow heat leaders in July, particularly Chris Holder who I know he enjoyed racing with and wanted to race with and both who would have helped him with different bits no doubt.....

Poor bloke, what they go through...

Not brilliant of course!!! He's doing it his way, who are we to question him? I hope he's enjoying his speedway, don't forget the pressure the riders are under in the Polish Extraliga, they have to feel on top of their job....

The playoffs are great if the team that tops the league wins..... If we celebrated the league win and then had play offs it would take something away from them BUT it would be fair for the league toppers, they deserve a trophy for coming top too imo.

Buster intimated after our meeting on Wednesday that the plan is 100% for Premiership to race on Mondays and Thursdays only and for Championship clubs to relinquish these Mondays and Thursdays. Seems agreement has been made with Poland to have Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Sweden their Tuesdays and Denmark Wednesdays. Not 100% sure if it's set in stone but near enough....

Don't forget the Pairs trophy Robert and Chris won early in the season.... Buster, given what he said after the meeting Wednesday, is aware of the lack of communication and has plans to improve things.
