moomin man 76 171 Posted April 7, 2014 Go to Workington - a potential belter of a meeting, run by one of the more progressive promotions in British speedway. Each time, I've been to Workington in the past twelve months it has been an enjoyable experience; even my seven year old step-daughter loved it (if only to be able to talk in Finnish to Tero Aarnio)!

ProperSport 96 Posted April 7, 2014 Best of luck AA autoroute says 2hrs 3 mins-7 pm start at Workington-you could do with a long parade. Â Yeah know it will be tight - if its 0-0 at Deepdale or Preston are 3-0 up * cough * Ill get a dart at 4.30pm , if not might even sacrifice my ticket as see North End most weeks but this my first trip to Derwent Park so looking forward to it - Cheers Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you need any help just pop along to the 50/50 stand outside of the main grandstand and ask for George. I will then introduce you and your daughter to Steve. Hope you have a great day George 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stokielee 30 Posted April 8, 2014 That's an excellent response from the Workington promotion, well done to them. Nobody saying go to Stoke yet... How surprising! Could somebody tell me if Workington's stadium is suitable to visit with a 2 year-old in a pram? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could somebody tell me if Workington's stadium is suitable to visit with a 2 year-old in a pram? We did - FORTY years ago - we went with a BLUE Pushchair and returned home with a RED one. That shale gets everywhere - but we had a great day out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
