Where to start....well what a fantastic return to Speedway at Workington on Saturday afternoon. The crowd estimated to be around 2500 was the best tribute of all that could be given to the management team, staff and riders of Workington Speedway, thank you to everyone that attended including many that had traveled some distance from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Berwick etc. A win for the Comets on track was the icing on the cake with all the lads chipping in with points for a great team performance. The organisation of the entrance to the stadium, car park marshaling and other stadium officials was exemplary . The track stood up fairy well to the afternoon sun but was breaking a little up later in the meeting , hopefully the track will bed in better after a few weeks. Facilities for food and drink were very good, better than some clubs have put on for major meetings in the Championship. Hopefully the Cumbrian people will support the new venture in good numbers to help the club move forward in the coming years. Oh, can fans use the bins provided please for their rubbish, thank you. Once again thank you to Andrew and his hard working team for bring Speedway back to the town.

Times change along with society unfortunately , too many young .....another topic for another day.

Only other sales are pre purchased season tickets at this stage.

Probably due to Health and safety Geoff

Due to the forecast of heavy rain on Saturday afternoon the Coronation has had to be postponed , it will now be run the next day Sunday the 7th of May at 3pm. This has however thrown up a problem because Prince Charles as he was known then was booked to do an appearance in Poland on that date, however a solution has been found , Chris Harris has offered his services and will now accompany Camilla in the capital . Chris later commented " Its a great honour for me to represent my country but at the end of the day its just another pay day "

Cracking ride from Harris to win heat 10 from Blodorn and Bewley, also Kurtz gives Fricke a big shove to win heat 15!

Riding non stop , must be building up his pension fund.

Worked ok for me when I booked Sunday night , quite a few in Blocks F and G on the day.

Thinking of sitting in Block G , any reason why so many unsold seats.

Well done to all the British lads , hope their success from last night carries on for the rest of the season and we see a close contest for the title.

Hope Ace is ok after a crash last night at Glasgow .

You have let yourself down badly.

Oh dear didn’t realise it was the Coronation on the 6th May , will have to miss the P and P now.......

Steve Lawson stated the track will be different come race day than that of the recent practice days.

Agree the fixture changes didn’t help at Worky , then running late into the year in cup finals with small crowds but the damage was done already years ahead of the Godfrey saga.

Did I read somewhere at the start of the season that Wolves were not keen to run on a League with reduced numbers. I remember saying when Belle vue joined the League at their new venue "What type of League are they getting into".

Luke Harrison injured yesterday at Scunthorpe.

FOLLOWING incidents at the Sheffield v Kings Lynn fixture (April 6) involving Sheffield’s Lewis Kerr, and at the Glasgow v Edinburgh fixture (April 9) involving Glasgow’s Benjamin Basso, it has been reported to the Speedway Control Bureau that both riders had breached the Speedway Regulation 018.2 g).This regulation reads as follows:BREACH OF RULESg) Any act which is violent, threatening or abusive nature to an official, rider or any other person.The SCB, having viewed the footage from both incidents, have issued both Mr Kerr and Mr Basso with a cash penalty, and both riders have been warned of their future actions.Mr Kerr and Mr Basso have 28 days to pay their cash penalties as of April 11, 2023.

Ticket refund system for Belle vue on Monday is awful , Glasgow on line ticket refunds are back in the bank the next day .

Got to have at least 5 rain off meetings a season to be called a real fan

Just home great meeting through in record time. Only got to Embleton so not bad!

Met office is showing dry morning in Manchester then light rain at 11/12 turning heavier at 13:00 hrs.
