At the time of the line-up being compiled, Dan was unsure whether he would be fit for racing. He did a couple of 'test' laps at Leicester last night, as did Lee Complin, who fell. The meeting was cancelled without a race being started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the crowds have really dropped from the opening day. Maybe because there hasn't been a really successful team, and next season must be a worry as people won't turn out to see a side lose every week. I would guess that the area of Workington can only appeal to a certain amount of Speedway fans, and most of those will only go if the Comets are winning all the time. Hope i've got it all wrong,(and good luck) but it must a worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 crowds will always drop from the inital buzz from opening nights id say tyhe dust has been a big part of some dropping away hopefully if the flood lights rumours are correct then switiching to night time meets will improve the racing and crowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 My third visit to Workington this season and I just love the place . Track has to be the widest in the country and its great news they are moving up . As for yesterday , a bit of a Sunday afternoon stroll in the sun for Connor Bailey , winning races by half a lap at times . But an enjoyable meeting nevertheless . Can't wait to watch Bomber blast round the outside of those bends next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
