Haven't seen that interview.......but I still even now can see him coming through the pits gate into car park, we nearly collided, and despite all the euphoria of winning a trophy that night he had proper 'face ache'....to the extent that I almost asked what's the prob?...but quickly decided I wasn't gonna risk it.......

I thought that in these instances the bond that the Workington promotion would have paid to the BSPA when they took over the club would take care of these kind of things. You wonder how far down the list outstanding payments to riders actually is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway4ever Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I sure miss Workington when I used to travel over. It's great to see Worky fans over at Redcar and Newcastle to get their Speedway fix even though it's not the same as watching from Derwent Park. I can live in hope that the Euro Millions comes through 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaniaman Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think that speedway might have a chance if fresh management were to take it on board.I was at the last meetings in 2018 and was looking forward to attending in 2019,even brought my 12 month old grandson and he loved it.therefore we can live in hope that it does return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'm a former season ticket holder but hadn't got round to purchasing a season ticket for 2019 when the sad news we wouldn't be running broke. I personally know four supporters who had purchased season tickets and to date have not been reimbursed. It would be easy to be critical about the financial and business management of the club however, I don't know the full story but I think it fair to say it wasn't financially well managed and the fallout has subsequently detrimentally biased the possibility of somebody else taking it on.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamlad Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Pretty disgusting that Riders from the best season in History are still waiting to get paid  season ticket holders who bought tickets haven't been re-imbursed I know that for a fact !! That promotion ruined Speedway in Workington , it will never return they've damaged it that much !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Season ticket holders are very much at the back of the queue: when Birmingham went bust in 2014, I had a ST, but when the company had been wound up, it turned out that the administrators hung on to most of the cash, so we got nothing.

SteelShoe Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019  I reckon it was 6 seasons Geoff . I seem to remember that Laura initially took it on for 2 seasons with an option to extend. I think 5 years was the original quoted max . It was the treble winning sixth season that got Laura her just rewards and brought success for the diehard fans, it was just really sad that it was at such a financial cost. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said on here earlier it was those Saturday stay-aways who eventually did the major damage. I think you are correct though in that "it will never return"...I don't envisage the newly laid Derwent Park pitch being ripped up again to accomodate a speedway track...sadly not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
