Halifaxtiger Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Did a show with Barry last season on the Island and I was astonished at the amount of interest it raised. I could remind everyone that every Warriors gate last season (bar one) was up on the corresponding meeting in 2016 and that gates have increased around 5 fold on what the previous promotion achieved. Any promotion that can manage that surely has to be worth listening to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorj Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 well workington speedway trust were the ones responsible for handing out the free tickets that regulars got slated for using and i can actually state here that jenga brother who no longer goes to speedway had been given 4 tickets from someone and offered 3 off them to jenga and on that day both myself and jenga refussed the tickets and paid so thats 1 thing jenga has done better than so called speedway TRUST The so called "Trust" as you call , put back over £10,000 last season in Workington Speedway, 50/50. raffles in the bar, supporters donations, fund raising events which if you'd have bothered to go to the end of season do would have heard Steve telling everyone...Regulars using free tickets was out or order, they were for newcomers to experience speedway, not regulars getting a jolly taking yet more money away from Laura , you are spending too much time listening to Jenga you posting as much tripe as him!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 hearing the odd tale or 2 that might just lower the gate even more than it was last season really hope 1 tale ive been told is wrong for all interested in speedway in cumbria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Who's rattled your cage Hen Its little wonder that TaylorJ has got annoyed. I have no reason to doubt the figure stated and that sort of amount makes a huge difference to any speedway track - quite possibly the difference between survival and closure. That's not a matter for ridicule. I have it on good authority that the Workington Speedway Trust is hugely valued, and rightly so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a matter for ridicule. I have it on good authority that the Workington Speedway Trust is hugely valued, and rightly so. agree with what you say but she turned on a poster for not the first time stating she had done more for workington speedway than they had ever done i can garuntee she dosnt know what shes talking about and it was the same speedway trust who abused the free tickets and gave them to people they knew were regulars and it would take money away from promotion i could name names of people who handed tickets to regulars and told them not to say where they got them from lets end the in fighting and hope for a improved season which will secure speedway at workington for many years to come this type of thing helps no one yes i personaly have said and posted things that some wont like but its all true i can name sponsers who have walked away i can name die hard fands who no longer go to workington and so on and they are all saying very similar reasons i could post it on this forum but i know its not good for the future of workington speedway but talk to most who say it as they see it and its a comon theory where the problems are at workington and its not laura morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I was at at a meeting where the idea was put forward that fans should donate a fixed figure per month to keep the club running, apparently this works at Edinburgh. A lot put their hands up but had second thoughts, Later it was said any donation would do. I personally know some people who are part of this scheme, I’m not. It’s not good to see fans arguing, leave that to Berwick lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
