NEW ENTRY ROUTINE @ DERWENT PARK . PLEASE SEE OFFICIAL SITE FOR DETAILS . so we have to park the car . get entry tickets . double back from entry gate . re park car and then Q up again to show that you have paid to get into the stadium .. is that correct ? thats on par with head in bra charging 18.50 . folk will soon get sick of that and not turn up so it looks like it will be easier to park the car on the spare bit of ground OUTSIDE the speedway ( saving £2.00 ) and just Q up once . is that correct dan .? Edited March 30, 2018 by jenga crazy new admission routine ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet49 314 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Ty Proctor has had to pull out because he hasn't received a document to ride in our league, held up in post though the one for the Premiership has come. Charles Wright has stepped in, shame about Ty but happy with replacement. On Comets website. Edited March 30, 2018 by comet49 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted April 1, 2018 Went last night to workington for the first time in a long time. A few observations from me Enjoyed the meeting, decent races and some close action. Had food in the cafe on back straight. Us at belle vue I thought had the worse food in the whole leagues. I was wrong awful uncooked food. Decent price mind you. If that crowd was a sign to come then I'm afraid you will struggle to see out the season. I'd say approx 500-700 people on your opening meeting with a good field assembled last time I went it was packed. What as gone wrong. People that diddnt go missed a good meeting. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it. the food was awfull last night and the "hot" drinks were even worse absolutly digusting 4 of us went for drinks all got thrrown away and the service was just out of order looks like nothing was learned last year burgers and hot dogs with no onions whats that all about obviously they are running on to low power to get things cooked and hot drinks need boiled water to make them right £1.50 for a coffee made with warm water is not on i hope there public liability insurance is up to date if there gonna carry on like that and its too be hoped the h&s inspector dont pay a visit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
