    Redcar away preview - https://cumbriacrack.com/2024/04/10/workington-comets-look-forward-to-redcar-bears-clash/

    Bain will stand-in as team manager on Friday as Denham is unavailable and will go with the same riding order as the Berwick home line-up – 1, Craig Cook; 2, Tate Zischke; 3, Antti Vuolas; 4, Troy Batchelor; 5, Claus Vissing; 6, Sam McGurk; 7, Celina Liebmann.

    Riding order seems to have Batchelor at 5 though, which isn't the same as the Berwick home meeting

    The wind is brutal today down by the coast, not surprised it’s off.
    They could have risked it by running it, but with the many temporary structures that are in place (this is not a stadium by any means) and debris flying, who would be liable?

    It would be madness to run in these conditions with a much reduced crowd, having plenty of free weekends probably makes the decision easier these days.

    Fair point and more eloquently put than the other idiot.

    No doubt most Workington fans are connected to the Workington social feeds, unfortunately I am not, other sources suggested Cook had dislocated his thumb.

     

    No need for the name calling, you’ve proved who the real idiot is here when you can’t check simple info.

    First you attack the promotion for not having a match report up straight after a meeting (try travelling back from Berwick to Workington and getting up to go to the track at 11am), then about an injury update (which is posted on socials around 3 and a half hours before the meeting)

    Then play dumb because you don’t check all the correct channels.

    The constant negativity on here is boring, and I’ll probably just give it a miss in future. 

    Hope this is eloquent enough for you.

    p.s the positivity from hundreds of Facebook comments is great to see. Funny that because people post on there with a real name. Coincidence? I think not.

    Some of the comments on here are great, others quite obvious mickey taking, others are just damn oblivious.

    Nothing on their official website, not even a match report from last night, that’s poor especially as the gate opens at 1pm for the second leg

    Stupid comment, the preview for the whole weekend was put on there on Wednesday.

    And all the information constantly updated on Social Media, probably one of the best out there for a small one man band kinda thing.

    Soz batch deffo got it the txtter from berwick even put it on updates but had to change it !

    Yeah it was very clear from the back straight, but I bet it’s hard from that ref’s box on the strange angle they have. 

    Was surprised at how fast Vissing was, he was the fastest rider on show.

    As for the others, especially Tate and Antti they were just trying to work out the track and when to shut off the throttle. The riders come into the bends so fast because of the long straights

    I’ve not been to Berwick for years, but can’t remember the track being that bumpy and awkward to ride.

    Berwick guys are clearly dialled into the lines on it, fair play and should have an unbeaten season at home. I think it’s good for speedway when sides are strong at home.

    Our guys will put on a good show tomorrow, hopefully Antti and Cookie they’ve came away unscathed after their falls. Craig hit the fence really hard

    They can always update if there happened to be injuries.

     

    Believe it or not but not everyone uses social media.

    There will be thousands more views on their Facebook page then the website gets. You don't have to use or be 'on' Social media to see the posts, it amazes me how many people don't get this.

    It's just a web address like the official webpage is - https://www.facebook.com/scunnyspeedway

    All the info you'll ever want will be on there :t:

    No I’m not talking about them needing enough riders if they were riding Saturday. Mark Phillips has stated that the league have given them a deadline of today to declare a full team to be accepted into the league 

    The only deadline is that the clubs have to log their team on the SCB portal 3 days before a meeting, hence him mentioning Wednesday. This is what he meant

    Had a look at this,   for info the associated text says that it is not supported by smart TV's just computers and mobiles.

    Yeah it'll most likely work on most TV's or Fire stick through the Internet app, just isn't supported.

    So if you did have any issues, they would wash their hands of it and say to use a computer/mobile instead

    Didn't wolves get the 75% guest facility for Becker, and James wright at Birmingham too? Didn't he get injured in a testimonial at Plymouth before had ridden for Brummies? Don't know why Plymouth wouldn't at worst get that facility

    Yeah this '75% guest rule' is in the 2024 rulebook under no facility, so at worst Plymouth could just get a guest up to 5.87 avg.

    Looking at a list of these riders from what I can see aren't already riding on Saturday;

    Castagna
    Heeps
    Atkins 
    Lambert
    Mountain
    Knudsen
    Bailey

    etc.

    Berwick don’t accept card but do live streaming

    A lot of clubs use a company called Infinity21, it requires a steady internet upload speed. Northside has nothing yet being isolated, believe it's somewhere on the openreach/Fibrus roadmap!

    Berwick being in a built up area (and being a football stadium) will have ADSL lines at the very worst, so could also have card payments.

    If that`s the line up its very weak at 3 and 4 as you have two riders brand new the the league, much better to having Vissing in one of those numbers.

    The logic is they can't really go to Berwick having not even seen the track and where the racing line is and go out in Heat 1. Gives them 2 heats to visually get an idea

    They will both be fine, think they would both far outscore the likes of Kemp and Etheridge at Northside

    Claus should have a good opening weekend riding at Number 2, strong rider to have in that position.

    James said the line-up for Fri/Saturday will be;

    1. Cookie

    2. Vissing

    3. Antti

    4. Tate

    5. Batchelor

    6. Sam

    7. Celina

    And then might change for the Home fixture on Sunday.

    Don't listen to rumours,  as said the track and the GT tyres arena looking good on the video on Facebook.  Also heard a bike going round this afternoon,  maybe our elusive rider no 7 or no 1 :blink:

    Yeah I don't know who makes these rumours up! It was just a few of the guys (and girl) whizzing round the mini track
