Or have a word with Liz in the track shop I am not sure but I think I have seen them on sale in there, but that might just have been the specials like the bumper edition at the start of the season and the calender's (or it could have been the Newcastle track shop! I am easily confused) Regards THJ We have the Speedway Star every week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope we have something really big to celebrate very soon and that we can be producing merchandise with Championship Winners 2018 on it in time for Christmas ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also issues over the availability of the Showground and Rye House Stadium over this weekend and the following one 26th/28th October (to be fair outwith the respective promotions hands unfortunately) So if there are rain offs or stadium availability issues it will probably result in mid-week matches having to be arranged. Furthermore if Glasgow do beat Workington they will claim their play off final takes precedence over anything Worky want to do due to their clout and self importance so Worky will have to wait until Glasgow decide (who is fit and when they are available and where they want to run the meeting home/away first with dates on vellum paper probably) before Workington can arrange their own cup finals (you know the cup competitions everyone went in for at the start of the season) (not just two teams). Luckily the Australian GP was sorted and will not impinge on anything further Glasgow will want to arrange. (now that is clout) Keep watching the usual media for the latest meeting information and just hope it doesn't rain. Regards THJ It's a shame that some clubs are unable or unwilling to sign lease agreements that guarantees the availability of a stadium to race meetings. Surely this should be a standard necessity if a club wants to participate in a particular league otherwise the whole competition could become a bit of a circus and we wouldn't want that to happen regarding Glasgow claiming precedence, not at all. Firstly they cannot possibly beat any team that has such honest fans as Worky. And even if we did I'm sure everyone would want to wait until all the cups are completed after all they are more important than a league championship. These cup matches are obviously the most important as they have been deliberately left until the last minute to emphasise there importance. Theres nothing like standing in the cold and drizzle cheering on your team standing next to one man and his imaginary dog. Why would you race in the summer when the weather is good and fans are just itching to attend a meeting - even more so at Workington where itching I've been told is a common complaint. And everyone remembers the cup and shield champions but who on here can remember who won the league the last few years. so yes, no complaints from Glasgow and I really honestly mean that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that was due to the weather allegedly and having no time to fit the fixture/s in, Whether that was the case and it was the weather who knows) Seems to be the same old scenario every year trying to fit fixtures in whether the weather is good weather or not.

We thought it was only fair to our fans who had bought lots of tickets from our promotion for this second leg which was sadly rained off at the start of the year. These tickets were only valid for the 2nd leg but Edinburgh couldn't fit us in until they got knocked out of all the other competitions. so better late than never . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff100 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Take a look at the fixtures we were going to run fridays still we were stopped what night u running next season think their is only thursday u havnt tried, cant wait to watch the racing from the corperate boxes on the 3rd bend with replys on the big screen next time am up their ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byker Biker Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) You asked for an honest answer, wtf has Berwick got to do with it? Jacko was asking teams to visit (the strongest team in the league) and they were refusing for a variety of reasons (usually rider availability) maybe on the nights some of those teams went to Berwick they had their riders or fancied their chances with a guest at Berwick. Maybe they couldn't go to Workington 'cos they were riding at Berwick Don't ask for an honest answer if you don't want one, this forum really pees me off when you tell people the truth they don't want to believe it, crack on then I'm out of this one.
