The big difference with bangers is that the drivers PAY to race so you get income from the paying public but don’t pay out the salaries that you do for speedway riders.

In this meeting he was outclassed. Outclassed means to be much better, more skilled, or of higher quality than someone or something else. When you are outclassed, you are completely beaten or shown up because your opponent has far more skill, talent, or power than you do. Having 0 points after two races and being swapped by your manager for the remainder of your races is exactly that. He hasn’t had time to adapt to the track or Jack’s engines so he may well improve and I hope he does after some training on the Edward Jancarz track. But, today he was outclassed.

The referee official decision was an “unnatural start” which is why you heard the whistling in the crowd and Pawlicki put his arms up to the ref box. The matter looked even worse for the ref as he didn’t even give a warning to Pawlicki because he couldn’t, as he didn’t do anything wrong apart from a perfect start. Basically, the ref Fd up and he knew it after looking at the replays.

I was at Scunny at the start of the season and was shocked by the low numbers. Us comets fans probably made up a high percentage of the total.

Did look a bit harsh.

Is he injured?

Some great racing.Kubera showing a bit of form and Lebedevs too.

Leszno losing their derby from a poor ref decision in heat 15 must be a bitter pill to swallow for them even though they are in the play offs!

That meeting was out of the top draw and what an away win with Lebedev entertaining as usual. Great afternoon and early evening racing. Thanks to those providing the links.

The boundary of Bournemouth literally starts 5 miles away from the track so I think it should be pretty relevant, given there's another 200k people living there. If you add the nearby towns to Workington which are further away, you'll be adding 8k (Cockermouth) 24k (Whitehaven) and 10k (Maryport) if you use the whole west coast of Cumbria. I think it's nonsense that it's to suggest Workington have low crowds, crowds are what i'd expect given our catchment area tbh. There was less at Scunthorpe on Friday night than what Workington get. Also success does not equal level of crowds either, you could argue there was less going to Derwent Park when we won the Championship treble in 2018. If Workington get 800 one meeting and Poole get 2000 for example, there is about 1 in 172 people attending Speedway on the South Coast, and 1 in 83 attending in West Cumbria, and that's covering 4 towns.

there were less kids there than normal hence the one race but i think u have to take in account holidays

I’m a big fan of drew kemp but I’m afraid his clueless mechanic last night cost him . Gilkes was asked to remove the catch tank but his shovel hands destroyed it . In heat 13 Drew’s engine inhaled the entire catch tank and jubilee clip.

I added Bournemouth as its 20 mins away, i think carlisle is the next biggest to Workington and is about 50 mins away,Poole has a bigger catchment area, im trying to point out theres more chance of a bigger crowd at Poole ie die hards than at Workington as you need more of the population to attend, just out of curiosity how many attend from Bournemouth?

Absolute speedway heritage. You can't have a simple opinion on the sport without first having been a rider/promoter/organiser/anyone of any self-perceived importance (delete as applicable). The guy makes a perfectly reasonable point. In fact, they don't even criticise the line up, just that they're disappointed it's not better. This is basically a farewell to one of Britain's best ever riders, I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected a better line up - regardless of whether you're running the meeting, the burger van, or nothing at all.

Lambert was decent... that was about it.

Would've certainly made the play-offs with the way the team has held up all season when you've either been missing Holder or Thomsen.

He was only given just half a chance to prove himself, I would not so easily judge him outclassed in this competition.

He was miles off it in his first heat and he was last again in his second heat fighting for 3rd with a dive bomb, harshly excluded if agree but deffo outclassed in this competition.

No, he did not fall. He was excluded when Norick Blodorn fell, as there was a little bit of contact when Wright made an inside pass going into the third bend on lap one. Bit harsh to be excluded for that, but probably the right decision. Wright had failed to score a point in heat one, and after the exclusion in his secodn race, the Gorzow team manager substituted Wright in his other two rides. Tough on him, I'd say. He was certainly not outclassed in this competition.

Not given in Poland if tied.
