topaz325 1,855 Posted June 21, 2018 Should be another close meeting against the Glasgow Tigers on Saturday night ( seems like it’s us and Glasgow in the League!) Dan Bewley misses this one because he riding on the continent , so it’s rider replacement for him which should be enough to see us take most of the points with the tigers maybe getting 1? Going to miss this one has I’m away so it will be July for my next home meeting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taylorj 1,000 Posted June 22, 2018 Christ Glasgow yet again , be pleased after tomorrow we can face other teams sick of seeing them lot Hopefully our Track will suit our boys and not like last time round, when we changed it mid meeting and the Tiggers all spitting their dummys out as they were winning !! How dare we change our track to suit ourselves Be a tough meeting, I think these lot ride our place better than their own , no Dan and Ty just coming back hopefully he's fit to do the full meeting , Rene should have possibly sorted out his Gremlins , a draw last time , lets hope we sneak the win .

Gazc 7,093 Posted June 23, 2018 As much as we enjoy our visit to Cumbria we have changed our minds and will give this a miss, the expense of travelling to watch a half arsed team go through the motions is a step too far I am afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,358 Posted June 23, 2018 It's sad to see,but there are far too many reasons for loyal fans just to give Speedway a miss these days. ps. They ARE the loyal fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,426 Posted June 23, 2018 The report on the bspa website about tonights match has one telling line "dan bewley is AGAIN missing for workington to ride abroad " sums up our season so far . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what happens in modern day speedway when you sign a precocious talent . At least you havent had the scenario when he's missing one of your matches because Belle Vue have an important meeting the following evening . Well not yet anyway 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 902 Posted June 23, 2018 dan is making a name for himself in the sport don't use that as a negative and a reason to knock Workington comets have a go at the situation for genuine reasons by all means but don't turn success against the sport it is hard that we don't get meetings for weeks on end and then when we do we have riders in overseas meetings but be pleased we have a cumbrian prospect riding at the higher levels a good promotion could use that as publicity 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted June 23, 2018 i dont think dan will be a huge miss as we have a k10 rider who is going quite well at the moment . looking at posts on here it looks like the travelling away fans wont be travelling away and seem fed up with the way things are going at glasgow .
