At the AGM it was said that Workington could not race on a Friday as 3 teams have chosen that day. They have now ridden 75% of matches on a Friday, Peterborough have sneaked in a few so now the use of guests for injured riders becomes an issue. The BSPA ask them to change a few meetings & all hell breaks loose.

Hmm.. 75% of matches ridden on a Friday???  Out of the 6 Home meetings this season, Workington have ridden only 2 at home on a Friday!

Anyway, the powers that be have stated there will be no more Friday night home meetings for them (Strangely enough though both Peterborough and Lakeside are now running this Friday but we aren't!)

Never mind though, after two home defeats and no points on the road so far, perhaps they may extend the end of season play-offs till 6 or 8 teams to give Scunthorpe a chance eh lol!

So it should, because its nothing less than a bloody disgrace :angry:.

Workington had their fixtures and dates approved by the BSPA and they aren't being told to change 'a few' but all of them, regardless of the arrangements they and their riders have made and whether their stadium is available on other days. What makes it even worse is that the very promoters who are responsible for this action now will not co-operate and bring their teams to Derwent Park when asked, and the icing on the cake is that this is almost entirely at the behest of one promoter who agreed with it and then changed his mind when he couldn't get guests for injured riders.

An appalling example of just how badly speedway promotions are motivated entirely by self interest without any regard for the needs of others or the best interests of the sport as a whole.

He will want to come now his Star man is back this week!!!!!

:rolleyes: hilarious post !! All Friday meetings agreed by the BSPA at beginning of the season , suddenly the wheels fall off for the big guns whose managers are on the board , low and behold , they can’t get guests so let’s stop teams from progressing and remove the fixtures , get your Scorpions goggles off  :icon_smile_clown: . Hey Karma’s a bitch though , did you see our 3 wins over the weekend , and one with 4 boys and young Kyle :party:

Shouldn't this be on Worky thread.  Friday fixtures that were removed surely worth a separate thread? Why have all been reinstated except Workington? Of course if?.. all with conspiracy theories are right they can now be reinstated as someone's worralls are now over

but the FACT that some people in the sport both fans and others incharge seam to forget is 

ALL THE DATES Workington have been asked to rearrange along with a couple of other teams were arranged and agreed before the season started 

if there was a problem it should have been sorted BEFORE THE OFFICAL FIXTURE LIST was agreed for all the teams in the league

He won't be there taps, only real supporters follow their team home and away :D

 

Even if he did turn up, he wouldn't be allowed in anyway, not with him having an opinion and all that.
