  1. Past hour
  2. I was just remembering that too - didn't one of the track staff at Derwent Park take the wrong tanker from where it was stored and spray the track with slurry instead of water without realising?
  3. Unexpected win last night. Came down to Rushen struggling with the tighter turns of Armadale where he can’t just twist the throttle and Mitch Cluff putting in a superb performance last night. He’s improved massively round the dale to the guy who couldn’t turn round the place first few weeks, fair play to him.
  4. So Bowes may have got 2 last night which would not have been much different to Tate but we would have expected more from Zischke given he got 9 last time. Harris got 13 the last time he was at Edinburgh and Dan T got 11, so he outscored Dan T on his own track, maybe last night the track didn't suit Harris, no idea why he gets 13 one month and 6 the next.
  5. As a SPEEDWAY fan I thought this was a very good meeting on a surprisingly good race track….well done the track curator. As a Bears fan ( sort of ) I’m astounded at how inconsistent the home riders are . A couple of impressive race wins from Edwards and Mulford added to two poor rides, Allen started well, finished poorly, same with Pijper. Lambert was trying hard and deserved a bit more than his 5 points , same with Scott but the whole team were consistently outgated or outpaced down the back straight but a battling Scorpions side who deserved their win. Decent crowd and only a little dust coupled with loads of kids an ice cream van and no freeloaders from the moto x track this week.😄
  6. Get Glasgow back down as the very distant promotion have previous of this type of thing 😜😜🤣🤣. For the unknown look up poo gate in 1987 😜 when Glasgow tiggers/comets got kicked out of the league
  7. They arrive Thu/Fri as they know that their eviction summons won't get processed till Monday at the earliest... Tuesday on BH weekends.. My stores had a major problem with them as concrete car parks were perfect for them.. Therefore. My company (through a third party so no trace to us), employed a "security company" to arrive and ensure that the car park remained "safe".. In reality, it was three "big lads" with three big Alsatians that stayed overnight... The dogs stayed outside their transit van,continuously barking which triggered the pikeys (I mean travellers), dogs,and also scared their horses all night, ensuring plenty of noise.. The lads were all body cammed up, looking like Police, and sat up all night playing music... Any verbal altercation was met with "I have to tell you that I am recording this conversation both visually and with sound. For your protection and mine"... They hated those words... I was always in for 7am and would catch up with the security lads for an update and, invariably, they would telll me that "head pikey", I mean traveller, was going to see me later that morning... Around 8am he would come over and agree to clear off if I let them use the toilet and washroom facilities... Which I obviously did... Word soon got round their communities that our company wasnt somewhere to go to, and the problem quickly stopped....
  8. Would be nice if the club could tell us todays team? is jeppesen riding and who is replacing cook?
  9. yeah about sums it up. Let us see what happens today. I have spoken with the Police as a concerned fan and reminded them of their powers, the distress it is causing, the fact that there is a meeting on today and the disregard travellers often show for local communities to save them a few bob paying to stay on registered traveller sites.

  17. I would encourage any Worky fans reading this to pick up the phone or use email or social media to express your dispsleasure at the situation and demand some action. Police Station ; Police Chief and Crime Commissioner David Allen; Mark Fryer Cumberland Council Leader and or senior Council Figures; Josh MacAlister MP to name a few.
  18. If the police fail to respond to blatant criminal damage and unauthorized access, landowners and residents must pivot from relying on immediate police intervention to triggering formal council and civil legal processes. 1. Trigger the Council's Legal Eviction Duty Local authorities have their own distinct statutory powers to remove unauthorized encampments without relying on a police arrest. Section 77 Directions: Under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the council can serve a formal direction ordering the individuals to leave the land immediately. Section 78 Court Orders: If the group ignores the Section 77 notice, the council can apply to the local Magistrates' Court the following day for an eviction order. Once granted, council-appointed bailiffs can physically clear the land, towing away vehicles if necessary. Common Law Powers: Councils can use common law powers (under the principle of tortious eviction) to hire private certificated bailiffs to clear the site within 24–48 hours, bypassing the court system entirely if it is deemed safe to do so. 2. Force Police Accountability If the police are refusing to act on a clear, ongoing crime (like criminal damage or the Section 60C offence of illegal encampment with damage), you can escalate the matter to force their involvement. Report via 999: If the damage is happening right now, it is a crime in progress. Demand a log number. Escalate to the Duty Inspector: If standard officers refuse to attend, call 101 and ask to speak to the local Area Duty Inspector. Inform them that a criminal offense under Section 60C of the CJPOA is actively being committed and public property is being destroyed. Contact the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC): The PCC is an elected official whose job is to hold the local police force accountable. Emailing them with photographic evidence of police inaction usually forces a rapid review by senior management. 3. Record Evidence Safely The primary reason police cite for not arresting individuals for smashing padlocks is a "lack of identifying evidence." Use CCTV and Dashcams: Do not confront the individuals directly, as this can escalate to violence. Instead, gather clear footage of the specific individuals using tools to break locks, alongside vehicle registration plates. Pass Evidence to the Council: This evidence allows the council to secure an expedited emergency injunction from a county court, which can include an expedited power of arrest attached to that specific plot of land. 4. Utilize Existing Injunctions Many councils have proactive, borough-wide "persons unknown" injunctions protecting their most vulnerable green spaces. If such an injunction is already in place for that specific piece of land, the council can bypass the standard 24–48 hour notice period and instruct high court enforcement officers to clear the site immediately. Are you looking to find out which department at your local council handles unauthorized encampments, or do you need a template to lodge a formal complaint with your local Police and Crime Commissioner?
