comet49 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Workington Reds and Workington Town are in discussions with the council about playing in one stadium. I’ve heard talk tonight it would be a new stadium and that Reds (football) wouldn’t want a track between them and the fans. It’s headlines in the local rag but not on their website yet. No mention of the Comets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 relax . it will never happen . like it or not , we are in a recession . Allerdale are trying to raise income and cut costs at the same time . to have two teams in one ground will reduce income to themselves and lookinf at it i think both the rugby and football stadiums are built on flood plains . so no new houses can be built at either ground . i think i am right ! any how , a special good luck to kyle b on his championship season @ wucky . just go with the flow and ask , ask advice ALL the time from the other guys . dont get downhearted on sat if things dont go according to plan cos its a good field of riders you are mixing it with . looking forward to the first meeting and hope every rider has a good shake down and builds up their confidence for the meetings ahead . god , that Bewley kid looks shot hot ! see you all on Saturday . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of the Comets. Had to laugh at this Comet49, what fans are they talking about?? Considering that the council own and subsequently "let" the grounds to both clubs how have both been allowed to become the "s**tholes" they are yet still expect the paying punters to cough up top dollar to stand in them?? Many clubs have nice tidy grounds and have had for many years, it's what encourages people to come too them, clean and modern facilities, perhaps if the council and clubs had promoted better use of funds into their grounds, and both have had, these facilites could have been improved many years ago to the benefit of both, bit late in the day to think about this now and as Jenga says "it'll never happen" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Perhaps not but if outside investment came in who knows. There was an article last week about a businessman from Salford saying Cumbria should have Super League. I passed a new stadium (2012) on Sunday very near to the M60 motorway where Salford and Sale play. Can't see Town and Whitehaven merging, the meeting with the council was a Reds initiative.

Lord Lucan Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Marwan Koukash, that guy takes no s**t from anyone so if he was looking to invest in a SL side for Cumbria it would take a brave man to say "no" too him? That's what I mean C49, new facilities springing up everywhere, the problem we have is that the sport on offer doesn't justify the spend involved, far too parochial in these parts to merge Town/Haven or even develop a SL team via imports/outside the county players etc as they would then only argue about the location of the stadium instead? The time for a new stadium at DP was in the days when we had a SL side and could have benefited from the crowds at the time, the directors had the golden egg, unfortunately.........they dropped it? I think the only time any new stadium would be built in Workington would be as and when the Comets fold and it's no longer an issue as to who to satisfy, then, one ground for two teams working on the same field dimensions is a cinch!!

scaramanga Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 didnt workington town recently renew or extend there lease ? i could see a possibility of it happening sometime but it would be at 1 off the 2 grounds as theres no way there is enough money to build a new purpose built stadium its just some council talk you know the type 1 that opens there mouth while what brain they have is in sleep mode all 3 rugby football and speedway at the moment are not cost efective clubs/teams none of them can pay the bills on gate money alone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory peck Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 We've been down this road before,the last one a few years ago,a 10,000 seater stadium was being planned including computer graphic pictures,but as usual nothing came of it,as many have said what is the point if the demand isn't there,it would be another white elephant,but that's Cumbria County council all over experts at wasting public money 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I doubt Super League rugby would be cost effective without Sky money, not panicking, no point. Looks like good dry weather for Saturday, roll on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW ENTRY ROUTINE @ DERWENT PARK . PLEASE SEE OFFICIAL SITE FOR DETAILS . so we have to park the car . get entry tickets . double back from entry gate . re park car and then Q up again to show that you have paid to get into the stadium .. is that correct ? thats on par with head in bra charging 18.50 . folk will soon get sick of that and not turn up so it looks like it will be easier to park the car on the spare bit of ground OUTSIDE the speedway ( saving £2.00 ) and just Q up once . is that correct dan .? Edited March 30, 2018 by jenga crazy new admission routine ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Ty Proctor has had to pull out because he hasn't received a document to ride in our league, held up in post though the one for the Premiership has come. Charles Wright has stepped in, shame about Ty but happy with replacement. On Comets website. Edited March 30, 2018 by comet49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
