SteelShoe Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yeah it's slightly unfortunate but live Speedway wins out every time for me personally. Hopefully too nice a day to sit in watching footy anyho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 More to the Point why are people from Workington bothered about Manchester City or Manchester United? You should be supporting Barrow, Carlisle or even Workington Town up that way. #SupportLocal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzac Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Watch the speedway live especially with the weather forecast looking so good, if you really have to, can see the football on catch up later. The people who have the money to waste on football at that level probably wouldn't go to speedway anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Who's bothered about a Mickey mouse football cup final, it's a speedway double header, Northside areana for the comets and station road clubb for the GP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it's also up to the fan either to go to speedway then or watch the cup final. Just personally wish it wasn't the case......just saying.

But unlike you I also like soccer..........my choice. 3 hours ago, gazzac said: Watch the speedway live especially with the weather forecast looking so good, if you really have to, can see the football on catch up later.

Point taken, I fell out of love with football years ago when the money side at the top became obscene. I was a long time supporter of Pompey so not just armchair and loved seeing the Sir Alex era with the bulk of the Man U team being from the youth side, now just the biggest foreign investors win. Anyway I'd still always go for live speedway first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re 'Pompey'......I was at a cup tie at Old Trafford...in the 2000's ..not looked it up ... the match was all square in second half..Pompey the broke clear and United's goalie rushed out and made an error so it was penalty to Pompey..and United goalie, Kusac, was sent off......but he had only came on at half-time for injured Van der sar so United hadn't a proper goalie to face the pen.. .Rio Ferdinand went in nets....needless to say Rio was beaten by Pompey's pen taker......the thousands of Pompey fans near me in East Stand went bonkers......oh dear... . By the way I've been to Arlington several times,,,,,,,following Comets, and once saw Eagles v Crewe...Phil Crump was outstanding in that one. Camped once at arlington in what I think was a car park??? Edited May 30, 2023 by singy13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was, pretty much out in substantial woodland. If you did the same today could be the A27, that's pretty much a car park from Eastbourne to Southampton.....
