Some disrespectful comments regarding PL riders and some strange decisions by the referee.
I also think Tai Woffinden should have been awarded the title with Lee Richardson in second place.
Great meeting tonight, special rides from Cookie and Kildemand
Also an unbelieable pass from Compo!
Good to see the old riders especially Lou Sansom and Stoney but all the riders made it a great evening well done to Tony Jackson who put in a a lot of hard work to organise the meeting.
Poor line up?
All ex Comets or guests so beggars cant be choosers.......... this is the Wokington 40th Anniversary, there will be many ex riders who will be there on the night too, who may have a trundle round on the back of a bike or may even have a blast down the home straight on a borrowed machine?
There is a photo of Richard Lawson racing in the blog which looks very like one of mine, feel free to use any photo,s of mine if they are good enough!
Such a shame Carl Stonehewer cannot make it to the meeting one of the Workington Speedway Greats.
Got to agree there Rob, Cardiff is a good weekend away for a few beers, great atmosphere in the stadium and some Speedway thrown in but not one of the better ones for the racing, usually the Polish GP,s serve up the best on track action.
In the past people have gone to the Crown just outside the stadium, but both myself and Bluejam are suggesting this year a new venue The New Barrack Tavern.
The New Barrack Tavern is about 100 yards from the stadium, has two rooms a covered walled garden, and also does food including a carvery
Maybe that's why we could not find it!
We are still looking for the place, we did go to the Garrison Hotel for a pint thinking that might be the place?
This was about 14:00hrs but not many people about so went to the Crown, had a good chat with some Berwick fan's, also Andre's dad asked if we were going to be cheering for him (Compo).
Sorry we missed what sounded like a good afternoon.
