Could have been a signing to save money, no points money to pay out 😜

Could they be looking at joining the Polish league if the diehard farts running the show stubbornly refuse change. You would get regular fortnightly fixtures and good t v coverage, everything that does not happen now. You can but dream but what a coupe if it did happen. Just imagine the fallout from those on the top table and not a thing could do about it. Those currently mismanaging the sport, wake up and smell the coffee or be part of what would become the infamous morons who finally killed off U K speedway. Oh for someone to stick two fingers up to those that run the sport and go out to get on with making one club a success when all around is failing.

Slater Lightcap out scores will cairns in the GP 2 meeting 😜😄

What an inspired signing Lambert has been for the Bears! I wonder whose great idea it was to sign him?

Comets were reborn in this era by Andrew Bain who transformed the old Northside training track into the fantastic arena and racetrack it is now, in 2023 ran NDL was going to be a 2nd season of NDL until Godfrey and co disbanded the set up as was. Comets went into the main league in 2024 crowds were ok ish, think the problem this year was the very distant jointed fixtures, weeks between meetings,

Glasgow owners may have helped out last season but that was to get them out the situation we were in then. They are there on a consulting role more than anything. This isn't a "workington" issue. Speedway is in a sorry state in general and most clubs will be running at a loss. Just look at Edinburgh who are heavily reliant on supporters charitable donations to stay alive. The more supported clubs will obviously run at a profit but that will mean nothing when they have no other teams to play. Something needs to change and we've all knew that for years. Will it change? Absolutely not. Shame, Ive really fallen back in love with Speedway since comets came to tapes

He does have that real 'motivational twang' in his voice!!!😇 Seriously though, I thought the Glasgow owners were assisting financially?

After last night's season ending defeat it would be a smart move for the management to have a chat with certain Witches riders about average fixing. No point in the Club even attempting to qualify for the play-offs and it's now time to have full focus on 2027. King needs to start average fixing by having some EF's and R's otherwise he'll find himself at Northampton next year if what I'm hearing is true about Mayfield going for a proper 1 & 5 which would both be on 8+ GSA's. Paul Hurry needs to give all Heat 15's to riders who aren't in the Clubs plans for 2027 instead of King.

yes

How were the crowds when they originally reopened I think it was under another Denham but from memory that fella had quite a bit of money behind him, were they poor then or like most clubs have they just declined over time due to the speedway ills we discuss on here daily ?

James Denham should never ever of been appointed team manager.

Do you know that? No!

Don't know what to say about this. The timing seems strange to say the least and is coming from James Denham who states he is giving up the team manager role next season anyway ?. Will keep my thoughts to myself at this time until the situation becomes clearer.

we all no a hint of rain and its called at glasgow has been for several years now and there has been a few downpours in glasgow

Very droll! But not factually correct. Should Glasgow lose tonight and also to Poole in a few weeks , it would negate their away wins and put them in a battle with Berwick and possibly any other team who manage an away win, like Redcar at Workington.

Yes, agreed brilliant race track, feel for everyone involved so sad

Loftus probs the best

Louis by all accounts rejected a couple of proposals for Ipswich before going with Mayfield so there are people out there willing to take over clubs. One of Ipswich’ suitors was allegedly Phil Morris along with a couple of others forming a consortium. Fingers crossed there’ll be options for Sheffield IF the Bates’ decide to walk away which we don’t know yet. They’ve known for a while now what they’d ideally like to do, so the best scenario is that they’ve had the time now to find the investment and/or people to take over the club. They’re suffering crowd wise a little at the moment mainly because they’ve lost their star man who helps to bring in the punters.

Hopefully they will be back but its a tough sell with no Tai, no Jack but same/more money this year for lower quality product we can ill afford to lose Sheffield or Worky but agree its looking grim at the moment.

Worrying with Sheffield if the Bates step back will someone with enough money come in to save the Tigers. In the perfect world top league would be eight teams once home and away if nothing else fewer meetings would stem losses and negate the issue of seeing the same teams every other week. Home meetings would need to be at least fortnightly though rather than the current monthly nonsense with some teams.
