The weather has been atrocious all week up here so correct call to PP the meeting. As for next week being off too, I’m sure you’d soon complain if it went ahead with a field nowhere near as attractive as was planned? No pleasing some folk. As for the bickering, it’s a forum, people can write what they want, whether you agree/disagree, like or don’t like, is on you. I have no issues with the Ben Fund meetings being postponed, I had no plans to go to the Ben fund, it's still hockey season and that takes priority for me. But the meeting on 31st, I was 100% going to attend. It's the delay in announcing the last rider that's getting boring now. I'm not even a Workington fan and the radio silence is deafening. I don't care if 16 amateurs race or 16 of the worlds best race, if the racing is close then it's a good night out. If it's Freddie Lindgren vs wobbler 2 and wobbler 3 I'm not interested. If I wanted to watch riders riding alone I'd go to a practice session. Bicker about important stuff, but when it gets personal and people are bickering about quite literally nothing, or getting at eachother's throats, it turns the whole forum into a sack of rubbishe, which is a shame because it's the best place to get news in speedway... 7 minutes ago, Noelinho said: Just mute the troublemakers.

I'm sure I'll be along at some point during the season when I find my interest again. Few meetings at Redcar, the best track in the country, should do it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Redcar could be the 2nd best track in the country, after northside, I am tching to see the better riders go round northside , should be some fantastic racing, saw a couple of top guys practicing thr other week, and it looked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Belle Vue for me personally but the others mentioned are all extremely good and very close behind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rider has to be right for Workington, that's financially (I guess that's the main one), points wise, availability and the right "fit" for the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Belle Vue for me personally but the others mentioned are all extremely good and very close behind. I'd agree those are the 5 top candidates (and add Peterborough for last season), sadly the nearest to me is a nine hour round trip (allowing for delays, diversions and a break). Personally my vote goes to Redcar but it certainly isn't clear cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could have had someone signed up for weeks and just like the publicity it’s bringing them. A lot of people seem to be talking about it. I find it quite amusing how much it’s rattling people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Has anyone been down the track for any of the practice sessions lately ? Not heard once that Craig Cooke has been down at all practicing. This time of year his social is generally full of him getting ready for the new season, this season absolutely nothing. He not in any of the Testimonial meetings either. 7th rider signing up might not be the only problem Workington have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He often hasn't raced in early season meetings in the past either, nothing new there. He gave an interview in last weeks Speedway Star about wanting a Premiership place and about his off season, i'm sure everything is fine.

Hope your right but one clear printing error in that article is putting in laps around Northside, apparently he not been anywhere near Northside for quite a long time and not there today either for practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
