Whereabouts is new track, must try and get up there this year. Good luck for the season, great to see them back. Hope you can get up at some point auntie doris be great if you could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the information constantly updated on Social Media, probably one of the best out there for a small one man band kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Be interesting to see how many of the old fans turn up who said they wouldn't go to national league meetings I'm sure this meeting will confirm why we wanted another year at that leval if only the bspa didn't stich the promotion up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Looking at the scores, some optimism for Worky with their new riders once they get dialled in.. Hope the crowd level was good.. That is the main result for Workington.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Groove Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I know it's early days, but first impressions: Claus - still got it Tate and Antii - both excellent today even first time out, once they get settled in I'd expect them to be the heat leaders with Claus Cook and Batchelor - best days are in the past but will still do a job Celine and Sam - looking like the weak point, but let's give them a chance and see how they do against teams with similar level reserves. Neither were going to challenge Hodder and Celine had a good second ride to beat Borke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam should of been challenging hodder, more laps than most round Workington. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stupid about it at all, Cook fell in his second ride and withdrew, I think it’s reasonable to expect an update as to the latest position on his injury and whether he rides or a replacement. Workington has an official website, it would be a good idea to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch Me If You Can Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Terrific racing on a very good track Win for Berwick basically confirmed by Kerr Schlein 5-1 in heat 13 after loads track grading which maybe suited Bandits ! 4-2 in Heat 15 cemented it Berwick look a much smarter outfit 2024 Plenty of plus points for comets especially from two new lads in top five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragdoll64 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Was Batchelor’s retirement in his last race his usual “can’t be arsed” if he’s not placed or was there a bonafide reason? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… one of Berwick’s reserves hasn’t ridden at this level before same as Sam and the other had a handful of meetings and comes in on the same average as your other reserve so don’t really understand that comment… although they need a few more meetings than two but if they carry on in that vein then it places a lot of pressure on the top 5 which is a risk as some of them are going to tracks for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree with these replies, Sam & Freddie are both 6+ NL riders, so no reason why Sam shouldn't be able to beat Freddie. If you think Celina wasn't going to challenge Freddie, then I'd question the wisdom of signing a 4.00 foreigner who isn't expected to beat a 2.00 Brit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
