Neila Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 The weather seems to have changed for the better on Tuesday, hope today's rain is not too much. The worky fans are either already on holiday in Devon or setting off today/tomorrow for the long 400 mile trip down. Could be a good meeting, my 1st visit UTC ps Plymouth fans can join in as you have not started a thread off yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) I see Paco Castagna is guesting. Is he really better than r/r considering how well Barker goes at home, Dan T on great form, Newman who scored a bundle last time & Bowtell? If Covatti's facility has ended, that explains it.

UTM Cook will take some beating at Plymouth based on his previous performances,I think the track will ride alot different with the soaking it's getting today.

Unlike Workington Plymouth haven't had any favours from the bspl,especially financially and help from the chairman in putting a team together so instead of being so cocky and arrogant you should be alot more humble considering. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome the inclusion of Workington in the championship, definitely seems to have a great track and set up,however they did not have to meet the same criteria as other clubs because with Birmingham moving up the championship needed the numbers,all the other tracks have floodlights which is one example of not meeting the criteria required by the other teams, I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable worky fans no the score, maybe they should have a word with the less informed supporters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worky did not get approval off Mr Godfrey and Co till mid November after the promoters conference, by which time most teams were already signed up, as far as i know worky got no money off the people in charge, its a massive gamble for the promotion, but so far so good. the management had to think out of the box to sign a team, hence 3 new riders to the uk, let's see how they go at Plymouth 2morrow, hope you give the many travelling fans a warm welcome . UTC And I hope your track is in a better condition than last week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 Even the BBC weather app is showing a favorable weather forecast. Hope not too much rain in Plymouth today, but it may have helped bed the track in UTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
