Workington is not on Mars ok.??? Maybe they we're referring to its inhabitants? Great to see Workington build back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Well done Workington good on you I reckon roynon will be in your team somewhere depending on the points total will depend what position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's well worth the visit for other teams. On a Saturday and at 3 o clock means it's a great and convenient day out.

screm Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Giving the amount of time, money and effort it has taken to get Workington speedway back up and running I feel they were left with little option but to go Championship next year, especially when it is obvious there wont be a third tier league anymore.

I read that with other NDL teams not running next year, Worky and another team were advised of there being no NDL in 24, so they were recommended by the BSPL to go into the Championship.

I suspect that whatever the points limit they will prove more astute than their rivals at putting together a septet under the new points limit whatever it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook looks amazing obvious choice but brings his own issues. Lawson would be a more reliable option. Anyone from the 2018 lot an option?

Will it have to be Sunday afternoon? I'd read on here that they'd bought the track lights from Peterborough - maybe they're planning stock cars or something then because you don't need lights in the afternoon.

Paulco Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Brilliant news yesterday . The Northside track is fantastic , got to be the widest in the country . Can just see Bomber blasting round the outside of those bends . That track deserves to be at a higher level , roll on 2024 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they install lights they may change their race day as Sundays can be difficult rider wise in GB these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the BSPL are going to recommend thru go into the Champ, hardly gonna recommend they close down or join Nora are they! Which begs the question, was the recommendation in the best interests of the club or the BSPL?

Really hope it works out for all at Worky. Used to love going across every Saturday night when I was filming for Bob (GRT Media) and Workington were always my second team (see where I was born for why!). Hopefully I will get across in 2024 to sample the place for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Sundays are no good for Championship speedway. Most teams have one, two or three riders who are racing in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
