My so called allegation is based on a post Laura Morgan put on Facebook saying that if crowd levels didn’t increase then Workington Speedways future could be in doubt, I don’t know what you are making out I’m saying, I’ve not said anything about them doing anything wrong, I’m just saying that paying for decent riders wont be helping their situation, redcar haven’t got a lot of money as the promotion have said quite clearly on multiple occasions and our team this year shows that as they have stated we were on a budget, my point is I don’t know how Workington can afford the teams that they put out, when they were soo close to closing according to their promoter, if they weren’t struggling to afford wages, they wouldnt threaten to close, maybe they have decent sponsors subsiding it, who knows, I’m not accusing them of anything, I think people have misunderstood what I was trying to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think anyone who has been to Workington in the last few seasons and seen their gate levels will know their existence is precarious. Its pretty much common knowledge that they survive because of funds pumped in by the promotion. Having said that, I suspect they are anything but alone in that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
