From what I have been told I don't think it has been "knocked on the head” yet but it's certainly having to go back to committee to be discussed by the council again Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 The Reds are certainly a big part of the sticking point on the new stadium going ahead, the dinosaurs on their board haven't shown any ambition in 30+ Years. They'd probably be better suited to playing on the Ellis Sports (Zebras) ground, as it's about their level from next season. Workington Reds and Workington Town RLFC would be a match made in hell... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards THJ It’s not difficult to run up that kind of bill if you’ve not paid your VAT for several years....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justgotmecpc Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Wouldn't it be nice to have a diamonds.

Oh dear the dreaded VAT man and some may not be aware that he (The VAT man) is a separate entity to HMRC and all three posts are valid and correct in certain respects.... I have had run ins with both departments and you can deal with the HMRC on issues like PAYE and NIC but the VAT man is a totally different prospect and he doesn't deal he goes for you with a vengeance having once been told off him he would remove my chattel's to the value he was owed and when I said I've never owned any cows he went on a major rant down the phone... no sense of humour whatsoever... plus he was based in Glasgow and we know what their sense of humour is like from experience... So yes large figures can be run up quite quickly... 60 grand of VAT on bad debt in our companies case over 3 month... and the Directors of No 10 Catering are saying that the Tax man is wrong so I am happy to give them the benefit of the doubt until it is proven otherwise... knowing the issues I had to resolve with the HMRC over the years they do make mistakes... There do seem to be issues surrounding No 10 and LJM Asset Management both companies Laura has interests in but; if, when or ever; we find out the facts everything else is just speculation... Also there is a myth that they can only go back 6/7 years which is wrong they, HMRC and VAT can go back to day one it's only "us mugs" who are time restricted... The bottom line is none of this helps bring back Speedway which is really the concern we all have... Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards THJ And there lies the biggest worry exactly as your last line says......our real concern is that all the reassurance/positivity from Tony Jackson in the SS and Laura's comments on Facebook about running in 2020 are all about to go down the pan , the writing seems to be very much on the Wall .....Speaking to someone yesterday who attends Town matches saying what a mess the track is . Sadly I feel the days of watching the mighty Blue & White are well and truly over 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope....whatever we put on here can't bring the Comets back in an instant for sure........so does anyone fancy exchanging views on something a bit less complex....'Brexit' for example ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow Town too....just been to DP to get my ticket for Friday versus the big enemy. Took the opportunity to have a look at the track etc. The track is NOT in a mess - granted there is one set of vehicle wheel-marks visible around it...probably made during wet weather...and a few *human footprints surround the pit gate area..otherwise it all looks as ever was. BTW didn't find anyone to ask re the proposed removal of shale. * animals arrive Friday..lol. Edited April 17, 2019 by singy13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argos Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Why don’t you Workington fans just realise that you have lost your Speedway Team, There was not enough of you going when you were running, it was not financially viable, The Promoters were going cap in hand to run again this Season, as sad as it is Workington Speedway Is Finished, get over it and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because my friend, the only thing certain in life is death. Workington Speedway is currently in a coma (license on ice), uncertainty is in the air, one would simply not switch off the life support machine straight away and give up all hope... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
