iand Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Big credit must be given to the Workington management to sticking with Bickley. They said at the beginning of the season that there was no pressure on him and they stuck by there word. Hope next season he kicks on fulfills his promise. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also drew at Berwick and Scunthorpe I believe and had very narrow defeats at both Redcar and Sheffield where we should have won both. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comet49 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) I’ve heard today that they’re trying to find somewhere for them......then a stadium would be needed.

scaramanga Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) if Workington run next year im sure it will be at Derwent park the simple fact is not enough money coming in for to run at moment either more sponsorship and /or more paying fans is needed Edited October 26, 2018 by scaramanga typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Perhaps trophies could bring more sponsorship in. Until it's said we're finished I'll have a little bit of hope. Edited October 26, 2018 by comet49 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing brings in sponsorship than success and trophies and Workington have that this season, I hope we see them race next season though it does show the state the speedway has come to that arguably the best team may not be there to defend their title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway4ever Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Would be good if we could get Carlisle Airport to put some backing in by advertising at Derwent Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cometfan4eva Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Only problem if did have speedway at Carlisle Airport is fans who don't have transport wouldnt able to get there can we build it down near the old steelworks that got knocked down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also make an interesting touch down if you have just travelled with them from Dublin !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Carlisle airport has lots of land few years ago there was a track well away from runways for radio controlled cars which held some big meetings there not just the little toy things but the proper serious things doing around 60mph and more there is more than enough land in this area for a speedway track theres even been rally special stages held there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometfan4eva Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 If speedway did go at Carlisle Airport we would lose a lot of fans is there plenty of land near steelworks or North side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
