comet49 311 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) in today's Times and Star a coucillor is quoted saying * No contracts signed with NHS or Sellafield * No high level contact with either, just an expression of interest ”insufficient guarantees upon which to base such “such a momentous decision”” That's why it was cancelled, didn't want to burden the tax payer. With nothing signed why did they wreck the track, counting chickens comes to mind. Edited July 19, 2019 by comet49 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the rugby world cup, so what if they were aiming to stage matches there - what better way of showcasing a brand spanking new facility and at the same time showing that this part West Cumbria means business and is determined to move with the times. This will be a huge opportunity missed, and one that probably wont happen again. As for the speedway, the public had their opportunity last year to show what interest was still out there for the sport by turning up and supporting the best and most successful team in its history. Unfortunately only around 450 or so of us could be a**ed to do so. Who knows, if 1000+ had come through the gate maybe things could have been so different! Christ what happened to the other 750 that went in 2004/5? Used to look forward to my Saturday nights travelling from Carlisle to Worky speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
