Baldyman Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) I absolutely love my trips to worky and this one will be no different. The closeness of the track to the stand and the noise of the bikes as the rip past the stand into bend 1, awsome, add to that the sometimes hostile home support, always makes for a cracker. Good racers track, oh and the chips cheese and gravy. Edited August 18, 2017 by baldyman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yeah, lot better than having a greyhound track on the outside of the track. We used to stand on bend 2 but prefer the stand now to see all the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the view from most parts of the stadium as for the chips and hostile fans....probably the chips are more hostile , the fans having a few too many beers or just silly boys.

I've never been round the back straight. Agree about the view from most parts of the stadium as for the chips and hostile fans....probably the chips are more hostile , the fans having a few too many beers or just silly boys. I don't mean hostile in violent way, it's just the atmosphere they produce, which again I love. Maybe it just seems that way cos most fans at foxhall are nearly dead and like to do their knitting whilst the racing is on. Is there any Ipswich fans out there that could do us a favour??? Take James sarjent back to Ipswich with you an never let him return anywhere near Cumbria Ā The daft thing is I could easily see him back at Ipswich next year. He will be one of those riders that will be classed as having a bargain average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Sarj may still be pretty young but until he learns to gate when the tapes go up and not before he's going to have a lot of 15mtr handicaps to battle against. Ā But his starting issues are very well known, he's definitely talented and with the right equipment he could certainly get himself out of the reserve spots in any team. Ā Anyway back to the thread, I think the Witches could potentially get something from this meeting if all goes well, with Sedgmen being missing (given his recent scoring record) it could possibly strengthen our challenge. Ā I would say to Baldy, you can fill us all in on your return but that doesn't seem likely any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 We will need to trap a bit better to stand a chance. The Worky boys looked sharper on Thursday and if that happens again I think they will have too much pace for us to get even a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Maybe should wear a red Harrington😉 Ā I just had to Google what a flak jacket was Ā Ā Wow what can I say, I've just had a private message from Dan Moody, Commercial Manager of Workington Speedway, offering me the opportunity of watch a race or 2 from the centre green tomorrow evening. What a fantastic and kind gesture that is. Wouldn't it be great if more clubs did something like that. Thank you very much Dan.
