That doesn't make it right. Workington apparently knew about the guest appearance in advance but said nothing until Worrall actually arrived. 

BP is spot on. The way I see it, Lakeside are incompetent, Workington are underhand so this does not reflect well on either.

One other thing from last night : there seemed to be a considerable degree of pleasure from the result at EWR on Friday...…..

Dont normally disagree with u halifax but have to on this one it was not up to jacko or anyone from workington to let lakeside know about worrell any sporting team is going to use an advantage to beat the other team comets are utterly blameless , in this day and age do to others what they would do to u but do it first !

Hope Dan has a good recovery and we see him fit and well next season, seems to be one thing after another at Workington this season what with the change of race nights hope it has not had too much effect on Laura and the promotion.You deffo deserve to be in the playoffs.

It was down to Lakeside in my opinion but as usual the only ones who were going to lose out is the fans. Doesn’t really matter now anyway, all that matters is that Dan Bewley is going to be ok.

[Dave Goddard]

Agreed - could we suspend the seemingly endless bickering over rules please in view of what has happened to Dan?  Sending him positive vibes.

[hammer1969]

Re the Worrall who is to blame situation surely it's about time the riders were up to speed with the rule book as well then they ie Stevie Worrall in this instance  could have pointed out he was ineligible to ride and saved himself a wasted journey.

Best wishes as well to Dan for a speedy recovery.

Fully agree that it is down to Lakeside not knowing Steve w as ineligible. I do feel however that there were sufficient opportunities (and not solely Workington) to have nipped this in the bud early enough to prevent a wasted journey and expense of same.

Best wishes to Dan for a speedy recovery.

 

hold on a minute 

steve should have been the first person to realise he couldn't guest  

lakeside might not keep a eye on who guests for who and where at 

theres so many riders and managers that done know the rules its a joke

Hope dan is ok , texter on updates blames mason i dont think he was to blame he was going for a gap same as kyle and dan just a racing accident with a bad ending. Now on the bad side i guess tonights tickets get us in next meeting either free or with a massive reduction howabout as a gesture to laura we all on here pay the full admission and spread the word so laura doesnt take to much of a hit i know not all will  but now is the time to stick together , tonight has been a bad night with flight delays the late ambulance arrival and poor dan in hospital lets do all we can to show laura massive support.finally on the plus side well done kyle on his first comet race win.

This may well be the best Post I have seen on this forum. 

I was not at the meeting last night but a close friend was and he advisd that it was a very nasty crash indeed.

Further to your point regards the admission,maybe a collction could be arranged for Dan, with us (edinburgh) coming down next week(maybe too soon for tonights meeting)  im sure there will be a lot of fans who will contribute.

Get Well Soon Dan.

While you are absolutely right that everyone should have taken the instruction that Dave Hoggart gave out and left the stadium, I don't think in the circumstances that anyone was acting badly if they stayed on for a short while or came back later. That was simply a case of deep concern for Dan Bewley's condition and I thought the way fans behaved last night was exemplary.  Not one single person was rubber necking to get a better view.

As to the refund,  taking Geoff's excellent advice I have torn my ticket up this morning. It beggars belief that with a young rider prostrate on the track in extreme pain anyone's thoughts would be anywhere but with him. 

Happened almost right in front of me and was undoubtedly one of the worst I have ever seen. Such was the nature of the crash that I really did think the worst and, indeed, I am somewhat relieved that the current diagnosis is a broken leg and arm. 

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you here (see the second highlighted part of your post)  If you are asked to leave the stadium, you do so as quickly and as safely as possible and to go back in to 'have a look' is acting badly in my opinion.

Best wishes to Dan for a full recovery, however long it takes.

Also, on the Steve Worrall fiasco, people appear to want to blame Lakeside (quite rightly) for getting a guest who was ineligible or Workington (again rightly) for acting in an ungentlemanly conduct way, for letting the rider turn up and then saying he can't ride, but not many have pointed out someone at the BSPA must have approved to the guesting in the first place?

Whilst not mentioning specifics, the BSPA were just one of the 'back stops' I was alluding to in my earlier post. I still feel the prime  responsibility rests with Lakeside to do their homework properly.n

Or even Worrall himself,has he not been in the game long enough to be aware of the 8 day rule?

[Gr8scot]

Adding my very best wishes to Dan for a positive recovery. Dan is such a natural talent on a bike and a lovely lad

Cookie has put up for auction 4 pit passes for the final GP at Torun with the proceeds going to Dan..... well done Craig

[Speedway28]

Best to wishes to Dan, hoping for positive news in the coming days and a speedy recovery. Everyone who follows speedway knows the risks that are taken by the riders and how dangerous it can be but it never makes it easier when someone is seriously hurt. Best wishes to his family also, must have been horrendous for his father and nan to witness the accident. Fingers crossed Dan can recover fully and resume his highly promising career. A very highly thought of youngster by many within the sport, clearly shown by all the get well messages seen across social media. 

Nice to see Craig Cook attempting to raise some funds for young Dan too, fantastic work again, much like his work for Mitchell Davey. He does seem to not help himself at times with his actions but he has shown this year that he truly does care for the sport and care for his fellow professionals. Great work Cookie.

From a Scunny Fan 

firstly a speedy recovery to one of Britain’s young talents Dan Bewley , as for the Steve Worrall guest situation it’s not up to him it’s up to Lakeside management and also the Workington promotion if they have tried to win at all costs that’s a poor show. Hopefully Stevie is paid the full amount he due for his time and fuel .

Ps when is the cut off for the Top 4 playoffs as this current weather will hinder a few sides as they strive to get in the top four 

Once again best wishes to Dan Bewley a rider who always gives his all and to all riders who risk life and limb to provide us fans with our entertainment 

 

[Icicle]

Dan's injuries sound (if ones believes BPSA) pretty bad. Hope not so!

I'm a neutral fan.   You miss a point completely.   The rules are black and white on this case and that is why Worrall could not ride.    If Worky allow a rule to be bent then a precident is set and any team can follow Lakeside.    It's Lakeside's fault.         

I assume Lakeside had to get the guest booking agreed with the BPSA.   They should also be held resposnible if they have allowed Worrall to travel as it's a clear mistake.    Worky have done nothing wrong.   It's not win at all costs.
