bigdave Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 in 1987 they started off racing at Derwent Park as the Glasgow Tigers, then changed mid-season to the Workington Tigers in the hope of increasing the crowds before being kicked out of the league.

Also if it's going to be used for training etc. I was curious as to whether it was a possibility for them to have a temporary home at another track while they try to get sorted out. Not necessarily Workington - anywhere that might have them really - rather than see speedway loose yet another team. From the replies I am picking up that is not something that would happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
