  1. I like nothing better than standing around for about 3 hours on a cold wet night in October.
  2. Must have.been thinking about a few years later
  3. Attendances for the 1980/81 were about 250-300
  4. Cannot really generalise about concessions some pensioners are well off, some are scraping by , the current admission cost is about right .......if we (Worky) we’re getting about 800-1000 people through the gates! Do not really know what the future holds for Speedway in this country , riders want to ride in different leagues (double up/ down) to make ends meet but fans want to see their own riders every week and not go missing either for other British teams or riding abroad. We need to make the sport more credible and professional but I do not have all the answers , it’s all about costs, riders want more money and who can blame them whilst fans want value for money.i A slick well run meeting between April and September with October as a last resort is what is needed but will things change as fans on This forum have been speaking out but the promotions do not listen!,
  5. The fixture list was doomed from the start of the season but even half way the through the season the promoters would not believe it!
  6. Get the basics right and maybe the sport could be saved in this country , two three four leagues but get the product and fixtures better or at least try to!!
  7. I agree about the fixture list should be completed but if the fixture list was not compiled properly or fixtures changed then changed back again then one can hardly blame the clubs involved. also this was about the third attempt to run the fixture!
  8. Rider of the year : Jake Allen. Most impressive team : Workington Team rider of the season : Charles Wright. One to watch :Kyle Bickley. Bulldog award (Best British rider) Craig Cook Meeting of the season Workington v Glasgow Play off semi final. Surprise of the season: Berwick. Underperformers (Team): Sheffield. Unluckiest rider: Lewis Kerr Newcomer of the season : Drew Kemp
  9. Even colder tonight at the double header , second meeting abandoned icy track
  10. Very poor from many fans tonight , a rider who rode for the Comets for years, embarrassing.
  11. You know it’s a crazy night for Speedway when travelling to Worky last night at 6 pm and the car bongs low temp be wary of icy conditions , then scraping ice of the windscreen at 10:30 pm
  12. Pass of the night, Rasmus under Kyle Newman.......unbelievable
  13. Another awesome display by Workington, the Lakeside team with no disrespect were torn apart , what a team Koc winners and League champions
  14. I very much doubt Worky will be running next year, I’ve been going since 1978 but even I am a youngster compared to some fans who were there since the start in 1970
  15. It’s very nice to hear all the good wishes from other fans and not the negative comments ( although some of them are true!) I too thought rasser got third and not second in that close heat and wrote 1-5 in the programme , some really forceful but fair riding by the Comets last night , well done one and all, commiserations to Scunthorpe who although tried hard were well beaten. Hope Jason Garrity is ok, I doubt even if he was fit to continue it would have made any difference . Thanks again.
  16. This is it the second leg of the play off final against Lakeside , with the first leg taking place at Rye House on Saturday night the Comets will know the task they face to win overall. Can we make history , let’s hope for another big crowd on Sunday night to cheer the lads on.
  17. Wow , another fantastic team performance, me I never was in doubt about the result Another big crowd to, lets hope we can bring some more silverware back to DP.
  18. This would work if all the fixtures were completed on time
  19. Wetherspoons, good value, clean, good products. Speedway........
