The cafe is having power problems as the power over that side of the stadium is limited and we cant find a generator efficient enough to power the fryers. Other small issues were teething problems and have already been rectified. Thanks however for broadcasting it at every single opportunity you have had as we are now hearing from other clubs how bad our food is. You have given us a rotten reputation and probably succeeded in damaging not one but two of my businesses, not to mention costing speedway a few hundred pounds every week. Thanks.

You cant hide beyond a screen name typing vitriolic comments then complain we cant be talked to. Why cant you put your efforts into offering to help us or doing something constructive for the speedway as others do?

Regarding the businesses as I have just said to Scaramanga, your repeated comments on here have, unfortunately for Workington speedway, had a direct impact on other supporters who are going to be boycotting our food outlets.

scaramanga Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) comments are a result of the poor service FANS are not to blame for the poor service this is doing no one any good learn from mistakes and correct them take onboard any comments made and if you feel you have a point to make in defense or even better apology post/say your piece BUT DONT BLAME the people passing there views over for destroying your buisness the people who made the errors are the ones to blame lets put it all to bed and try improve it rather than everyone fall out and damage the it even more than whats been done unless thats what your trying to do i hope speedway continues but i definatly dont expect you to carry on pumping all your own money in just to keep it going id like nothing more than to have the large crowd and atmosphere from years ago by all accounts the van on the pits end was back to being good again not heard any comments about the cafe on the back straight from saturday there was still a few walking round with drinks/food it would be nice if someone could pass a comment we have a 2 week break now so it gives time to look into getting something in place i used the cafe almost every meeting last year and even though the tea coffee wasnt top notch it wasnt as bad as the opening night and i never had reason to complain about the food last year not once so dont try blame me for things going wrong Edited April 16, 2018 by scaramanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You to really don't get it do you !! you might have gave time and money over the years but Workington Speedway needs all the support now to keep us running. Teething problems the first week with food/café, but we went and spoke to Steve personally, not hide behind computer names and plaster it all over this Forum over and over and over you're still going on about it We go every week pay our entry money just as you do Scaramanga, oh and run the Workington Speedway Trust , sell programmes, 50/50 tickets, anything we can to help keep our Speedway unlike you that finds every opportunity to come on here and find faults, moan,criticise. You go on any thread on here and you won't find two people like you slagging their speedway/promotion off ...Give it up !!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlislecomet2 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 After a decent, speedily run and reasonably well attended (first) meeting on Saturday against the Monarchs, we are now faced with 3 weeks without any speedway. In the present climate where minority sports are struggling to attract spectators we should be doing all we can to encourage more to attend and to maintain the interest of those who do.These long gaps between meetings can only do the opposite. The problems seem to be the same as we have in society generally it is greed and self interest, without seeing the big picture. If a meeting is called off or needs rescheduling it should be done with the good of speedway and the speedway supporter in mind first and foremost. Looking at Glasgow's fixtures it appears as if they could squeeze a meeting in against us within the next week or two, so why not try to get it on. So what if Bomber or whoever is unavailable - how many times have the Comets raced without a number 1. You never know the idea of helping each other out may catch on!!!! Thought I would create a change of subject, one with no mention of food. Doh....I've mentioned food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm with you on this one.3 weeks is far too long between meetings and hopefully if not Glasgow some team will fill one of the reserved dates to keep interest ticking over and give us something weather permitting some racing to watch.

jenga Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 it could be even longer if the next meeting is rained or cancelled . 5/6 weeks ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
