spin king junior 394 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Nah I'm sorry. I don't buy the whole "use it or lose it" speedway is way beyond point now. The diehards don't cut it anymore. Promoters need to work on the sport and make it worth the admission and the only way they're going to do that is working on the overall presentation and quality. If it's not there, the sport will die regardless. The sport is absolutely on its arse and scaremongering has never saved a club and it never will.

Robinh88 571 Posted January 14, 2019 Workington was probably one of the best race tracks in the country as well. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweedcider 75 Posted January 14, 2019 Revisiting the watch mans previous comments, I wonder how many Comets fans would now be happier to have the option to pay £20 for an evenings racing? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heedthebaw 439 Posted January 15, 2019 Well done to the Bandits Management, giving the season ticket holders they’re promised meetings despite Workington’s demise SHOWTIME 2019! We can confirm that the 2019 season at Shielfield Park will kick off with Press & Practice evening on Friday the 29th of March at 6pm but the real fun begins 24 hours later! Competitive action gets underway with the 2019 Bordernapolis event on Saturday the 30th of March at 7pm! Due to the devastating news that the Workington Comets are unable to take their place in the SGB Championship division in 2019, Bandits management have agreed that the Bordernapolis event will now be included in your 15 match season pass alongside scheduled Championship, KO Cup and Championship Shield matches. Everyone at Berwick Bandits Speedway Club sends their condolences to all involved at Workington Comets Speedway Club. Workington’s unfortunate situation brings home the very real challenges the sport is facing to survive and sustain in the current climate. We hope to one day renew our border rivalry with the 2018 SGB treble Champions but for now all thoughts are with the Promotion, Management, Riders, Mechanics, Fans and sponsors. There has never been a more important time to back your local Speedway club! #SupportLiveSpeedway 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,358 Posted January 15, 2019 A very poorly worded article by Mr Barrie on Berwick Website IMO. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Normski 1,315 Posted January 16, 2019 Scott Courtney praised the Supporters Club for having a bit of class last season. End of the season we handed over £1000 to the STARS project and in Scott's words bridges were being built. There has been a few digs lately in blogs on the Dirt Page regarding the existing supporters club, all I will; say is that if your going to put something on a website that is read by fans and supporters at least get your facts right. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
