shazza13 132 Posted February 2, 2018 Mason was named as vice captain i believe at the start of last season.. remember last year was Tys 1st one back after a spell out... so maybe it was to give him the chance to bed in with no pressure.. which he did and has reaped the rewards this year by being named captain and rightly so! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cometbaz 67 Posted February 5, 2018 Heard on the grapevine that Anthony Denham no longer doing the track prep at Workington due to the number of Friday night fixtures and been unable to take the necessary time off work. Will be a sad miss if this is the case, we've had some good consistent tracks the last few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the same grapevine, the guy who drives the tractor grading the track has alledgedly said he won't be back this season. We're gonna be in a pretty pickle now.

scaramanga 869 Posted February 6, 2018 ive heard similar tales not 100% the same but there is a possibility anthony cant do the track due to the amount of fridays anthony has told a close friend of mine something lets just see what happens this is what happens when plans are made without talking to all involved not really having a go at anyone at workington speedway by that just a general comment and more to do with my own work place than workington speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted February 16, 2018 Some of you may know that Hoggy gives me a lift to home meetings and I have just been speaking to him about his involvement in 2018, because due to business commitments I know that Friday nights could be difficult. He has said that the promotion want him to continue with Saturdays and he is making every effort to come for at least some Fridays. I'll admit I am biased (and my lifts might be affected if I say otherwise ) but I think he is a top quality presenter, so this has to be good news and a reflection on the promotions efforts to retain their existing supporter base and attract new ones during 2018. A big part of Dave's motivation for trying to sort out Fridays is his genuine affection for the hospitality and kindness of the people of Workington, something he has mentioned to me many times. I did have a couple of trips to Dodge City pencilled in but it looks likely that that will be increased at least a bit 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted February 16, 2018 hoggy is prob one of the best , if not THE best presenters in speedway . i think he has a bigger fan base than some of the riders ! its been enjoyable listening to him for the last few years and i hope he has enjoyed the cumbrian craic . i hope he can continue with his banter and wit @workington for years to come . the same must be said for all those people who give up their spare time to help run the club and meeting . me, i am looking forward to the end of march to enjoy the delights of what looks like a good team (with a few! locals scoped in ! )hope you can do a few HOME meetings in 2018 tiger . but that hoggy guy . LEG END or whot ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
