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

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.

The thing is marra none of the clubs you mention...Barrow, Carlisle or *Workington Town RLFC.( the *Workington soccer team are 'the Reds' incidentally).....are in a Wembley Cup Final on Saturday 3rd June @ 3pm......However in this locality many folk like to follow top soccer - it's each to their own choice. 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.

Well Neil I'm a Town fan and also watched speedway at Derwent Park since Thomas and Brownhutt brought in 1970......great sport, been all over the country with the Comets. But unlike you I also like  soccer..........my choice.

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.

Yeah spot on re football and money spoiling it. But it's what the majority of the sporting public put up with.

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???

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.....
