Lord Lucan 375 Posted July 9, 2017 Disappointing result, thought it would be tight but we'd be good enough to nick it? Doesn't read like a meeting to remember judging from the previous page so, pleased I missed it really, maybe we should have a look in the sales and buy some big blackout curtains to hang off the end of the stand, might help us out a bit when the "sun's out"!! Too many delays does nothing for the paying public and when your crowd is down and atmosphere even further it just doesn't sell well when you keep stopping? Perhaps when we start running more regular meetings things will improve and we can at least get challenging for a play off spot, a lot to do tho and we may be too far back even now but, we have to keep trying, someone could slip up??

jenga 2,998 Posted July 9, 2017 the gaps in the fixture list dont help workington riders and are not really race sharp/fit . is it time to alter our day the home meetings take place . maybe a monday/tuesday/wednesday so that we arfe not tied up with all the other speedway events that cause us and others long gaps in our fixture lists . its time to put thing back into control of clubs and their riders . sweden or other countries run mid week , so why cant we be the club that starts a trend and runs mid week ? there are very few travelling fans that go to away meetings due to cost and any fans that want to visit workington are local anyhow . no more southern teams like there used to be . going weeks on end without a home meeting is killing our sport in the uk . there will be a solution to the problem , just got to find it . the bspa/scb continue to wear blinker and are killing the fans and the sport off that feeds them .. NO MORE LONG GAPS IN THE FIXTURES PLEASE ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NO MORE LONG GAPS IN THE FIXTURES PLEASE ! Speaking to Comet Dan last night the Comets planning permission conditions are pretty tight. They can't just race when they want to. I know that there have been a number of attempts to bring other clubs to Derwent Park and the promotion are conscious both of the gaps and a possible backlog of meetings. It has, however, been difficult to get anyone to come, especially on a day other than Saturday. Sounds to me like this is beyond the promotions control.

Charlieboy 412 Posted July 10, 2017 Good win for the Tigers but we need to get more from Branford if we get to the play offs.We need to get something at Ipswich and Peterboro to keep the momentum going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 359 Posted July 11, 2017 Branford missed last night's match for Rye House with a shoulder injury. Seem to recall hearing a few weeks ago was riding with an injury. Wonder if this is the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS50 359 Posted July 24, 2017 He said Josh didn't ride in this match. Think he confused it with the match at Sheffield 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
