First trip to Workington’s new home, great venue, really impressed its definitely got room for growth. As for today’s racing it was really hampered by an ultra slick powdery surface which the water just couldn’t adhere to and soak in so was simply back to being dry and dusty in minutes. The inside line was the place to be for the vast majority of races. Impressive performances from Fraser Bowes and Anti Voulas, with good back up from Jye Etheridge and Jacob Hook. As for Glasgow the just couldn’t get out of the gate, Kyle Howarth was always there or thereabouts in his 5 races resulting in winning ht15 and spoiling the two home riders maximum hopes. It'll have been said before but sure this venue would benefit from floodlights and have evening meetings under lights where the moisture will start coming up naturally rather than battling with the heat and wind during the afternoon meetings, but it’s a track I’ll come back to again -

If you could spare some time to help out and bring a few buckets up from the beach that would be beneficial. Maybe bring a few extras for the seating as they might need a wash too. -

How many points have we lost due to lack of support from the bottom 3. We should have been nailed on for a playoff place instead a bit like my school reports could do better. Get the top 4 signed up for 2026 ASAP. -
I think Nicolai is deserving of a testimonial for his commitment to this country. Albeit, he's not served 10 years at a single club, he has given 17 years to this country. Also, his commitment to Kings Lynn, as it probably is for any club he rides for, is deserving. He has earned the Captains armband, for his presence both when things are going well, but also he's not afraid to front up when the team, or even himself, have had a bad night. For 2026, would I take him back? Yes i would. Those awful Witches look like they will be in or around winning the title, and these are the starting and current rolling averages. Jason Doyle 9.36 8.42 Emil Sajfutdinow 9.12 8.38 Tom Brennan 6.52 7.09 Danny King 6.14 6.64 Adam Ellis 5.47 5.88 Dan Thompson 3.11 5.42 For Nicolai to be effective, he needs to have a top 2 above him, dare I say a Lambert and Kvech, a couple of riders to take the pressure off him. He can then Captain and ride with freedom, and I can still honestly see him putting something on his current 6.42. We need 3/4 riders who will improve from 2025 to 2026, and a number 1, whoever that may be. A strong number 6 has worked to an extent this season, and maybe a fit Ben Cook would still see us challenging for a PO spot, but I don't think we are that far away.

Jack Smith has been about for 10 years and you would think he should be scoring against most reserves.Couple of good races every month is all you get. -

They dont need to mention the club anymore then they are allowed to! This track is the blueprint of speedway whether it needs watered or not. -

Said on the stream that Wood was seeing the paramedic about his finger. Probably why hagon was in heat 11. Wouldn't have got the tactical if it wasn't a 4-2 in the heat 11 anyway. -

Unfortunately the majority of riders only think off one thing .Themselves. -

No, the promoters didn't! Had to pay their four top-earning riders for three away legs on the proceeds of one home meeting. The meetings were popular in the 'seventies, when costs were much, much lower. To try and run such meetings now would be a financial disaster. Be cheaper to hire Bartosz for a meeting. -

First visit down to new Worky and really enjoyed it, great wee set up and clearly a lot of love and hard work has gone into it, congratulations. The dust was the worst I have encountered since the days of Newport but once I got myself to the 3rd bend all was good. I thought the racing was excellent, no idea what some of the maniacs on here are moaning about. Well done Worky, bad day at the office for our boys, it happens! -

Should Wood have gotten a ride for Hagon? -

One thought on the crash, if Allen had kept his throttle on for the first 2 bends after the close finish, Wright wouldn't have run into him. Occasionally when you see a really close finish & riders shut-off straight away, the challenging rider(s) can find it hard to avoid them. This wouldn't be necessary if a rider is miles in front, but should riders do an extra bend if they know someone's right behind them at the finish? -

Used to love going to the Fours at Peterborough. Once they held it over a weekend and included an individual event which was won by Ryan Douglas if I remember rightly. Helped that the weather that weekend was superb. -

I often sit in the bend 1 stand and the dust can be bad with even a slight South or south westerly breeze. Whenever that is the case I stand on turns 3 & 4 now. -

On the edge, but unlikely to make it. You'd need to win all remaining points (possible), rely on Edinburgh getting nothing from their remaining fixture (likely) and make up the points difference (questionable). A good side let down by inconsistency.
