GAZC is my mate going to be there or has he been sacked ? We will be down Saturday tee-total for me as I will be the driver on the night , however it means I can have a bevy the following week on the trip to Berwick.

scaramanga Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 reason i posted shaz is that you have defended before when really it was obvious things wernt right but like you i really would love all speedway not just workington to gain a new lease of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people have issues then the best way to deal with them IMO is to speak to the people themselves like I did on Saturday night to Steve... rather than rant on a forum.. just my opinion... which everyone is allowed.

Gismo Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 It’s actually refreshing for some of the stalwarts openly posting their personal disappointment. The trouble is, I feel it is too little too late, people have been voting with their feets. Supporters clubs/trusts should also be there to voice the issues and concerns of the general supporter too. unfortunately that never seems to come across and we are deemed as only being negative towards the club. Hopefully with you taking up your disappointment with the promotion then it will be addressed, those closer to any club will have more clout when issues are raised. When the die hard supporters start posting their disappointment on an open forum, just think what the general supporters are saying to family, friends and work colleagues etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 1 thing i will say about the press it was nice to see a report on the news and start website shortly after the meeting we need the press to do there part but it works both ways the promotion need to find a reliable contact in the media and share infomation with them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneylegend Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Positives - good line up and some cracking racing from alot of the lads, good to see Mason look good on track to he impressed me in his early few rides looked the best I’ve seen him in a while good to see Steve Lawson and his team done a great job of the track with minimal disruptions to the meeting top job Negatives - Why can’t we start on time ? I’m a hardcore fan who’s been since 99 and I put up with it but others won’t - it was freezing and the first night back (impress possible new fans) so why do we roll bikes out at about 7:10 / 7:15 whatever it was why? We done it last year and continue to do it ... if this is the case please state 7:30 start time? Coffee on the second bend was basically a health hazard never tasted anything like it in my life! But despite the negatives I love my Speedway and enjoyed the racing, fingers crossed injuries aside I’d like to think our team can push for the playoffs lots of potential Edited April 2, 2018 by stoneylegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hope everything turns out well. With Steve Lawson there every week and doing the track young Mr Bewley will be nigh unbeatable around worky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's ways and means of getting your point across without starting doing the same on this Forum as well . Pop yourself along to the office and take jenga with you , for gods sake , we have only had 1 meeting and you're off all ready. We approached Steve in the bar afterwards and made our point known about the food . If people had gone to the Meet the Riders/management meeting they would have known about the new ticket system, programme prices . We all have opinions /pay our money but the continuous slating is just getting tiresome !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
