IronScorpion Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Ricky was rumoured to have gone back home on the PL Play Offs threads & a reason why he wasn't chosen. I was surprised to see him in the line ups & racing on Sunday. He might still be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You more then likely heard him say he couldn't guest at Scunny rather then wouldn't. For the same reason he wouldn't be able to guest at Workington for Scunthorpe but can guest at Scunthorpe the 5% rule. He guested for Nicholls (8.35) so can only guest at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thought Workington would get their way & ride on their "main" "alternative" night first. Now awaiting replies or likes from the "sister witches" or "scarra". See you soon, weather permitting, on the 26th, 27th or 28th. Ohhh in amongst all that bickering with the tiggers, almost forgot about the delightful scorpions! Probably staging one of our 3 finals those dates but you lot will be free any week eh?? Unless you’re staging ‘A night with Rob Godfrey’ wouldn’t miss that for the world!!! very tasty bite that was indeed, 5 stars on tripadvisor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear IronScorpion I thought the first rule of the "Wind Up" was not to bite back Think WorkyWorky got a "Laal nibble" there mind (as they would say in Cumbria) However if you are thinking of coming over for the 2nd leg The Waverley Hotel on Gordon St, Workington CA14 2EN Phone: 01900 603246 is a 5 minute walk away to Derwent Park and just about right in the middle of Workington. However the new Premier Inn on Egremont Road, Cockermouth CA13 0QX Phone: 0871 622 2327 is very (very) nice and less than a year old in a lovely spot and only about a 10/15 minute drive away to the stadium. (and being a fat lad I can recommend the food, and the drink selection as well, its like a laal part of Europe a sort of Costa del Cumbria if the sun is out) (Yeah!!!)

IronScorpion Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I am after my own bites but people not playing ball. I am aware of the Waverley as I have it on favourites in my Speedway folder & family & friends are booked in at the Premier Inn for a wedding just before Xmas. ( just hoping A66 is not closed at the time) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no room at the inn with the suggestions given by THJ; there is a great big oval shaped concrete structure behind Tesco with plenty of room, even comes with large air cushioned blanket and check in usually starts around 6/6.30pm Safe travels, and may the best team win 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the A66 is closed in its entirety between Penrith and Brough at the weekends. And if you add to that the fact that Junction 40 of the M6, where the A66 from Scotch Corner meets it at Penrith, is completely closed after 10pm each night, then you have big big problem in getting home from, or getting TO Scunthorpe ! It seems that the advisory diversion during the day is via M62/M61/M6/A66. But after 10pm at night, you cant access the A66 from the M6 junction 40 ! It might well be advisable to check the highways authorities for the exact situation, but these sites arent always reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs a diversion on side roads from just past Appleby for locals to use, if jct 40 closed use jct 41 and travel via greystoke to A66, easy peasy if you know wagon drivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think my point was that Wells is far happier on the superslick gate and go tracks (he got a right flier at Peterborough in the last heat on Saturday, should have been brought back) rather than Scunny's racer track.
