Liz !!!

I think those Sunday meetings on the website are from the original fixture list, we do have a meeting this coming Saturday 28th and also the Sunday after 5th August

Also this coming Saturday Northside Training track are holding an amateur meeting at their track which is a mile or so from Workington's Stadium starting at 11:00 am through til around 3:00, everyone welcome, free admission should anyone wish to extend their Cumbrian Speedway experience and make a day of it before the meeting at Derwent Park !

Where did I say the meeting not called off because of a waterlogged track ? This morning the track was waterlogged, the forecast was for persistent rain from 6pm, the decision was made on the information available at that time, ie waterlogged track and persistent rain forecast. The forecast may well be inaccurate but there is no way of being 100% certain. I dont know why you think the track is fine, and many meetings have been called off based on weather forecasts. As I have said the decision was not taken lightly and without a lot of consideration and consultation. At this moment in time it is indeed dry and windy and I have no doubt the track surface is drying out now, hopefully we will have a fine week and good racing surface can be prepared for next weeks meeting.

I dont normally reply but on this occasion will make an exception, I was at the track when it was called off this morning, as were the promotors and team manager. The decison was not taken lightly and was made as the track was very waterlogged after yesterday's rain and the forecast for today shows persistent rain to come in from 6pm. The decison was made based on the information available at the time. Northside is on today but is a training facility and they are not running a league meeting, its a much smaller track, and the cost to them to be open today is minimal compared to that of running a full Premier League meeting, plus the time they are running is before the expected changes to the weather. The management and volunteers down at the track are there every race day working from early morning until well after the meeting finishes and strive to ensure that meetings go ahead, no promoter doesnt want to run meetings as they will incur a hefty fine if they dont complete their fixtures, they also stand to lose considerable amounts if meetings are abandoned etc. They are damned if they do and damned if they dont.

Will there be any updates for this meeting ?

GRT media didnt record the PL 4TT it was a Super Seven event filmed by the company contracted to film all Super Seven events Clean Cut Sports

Les rode in the Shortrack UK meeting as a guest yesterday at Buxton and finished 10th in the final

I live pretty close to the track and the forecast for my postcode area is for some showers but nothing significant, its very warm tonight and has been a very hot day, fingers crossed for perhaps a little cooler day and a pleasant evening for speedway

Where are these forecasts for heavy showers ?

The meeting starts at 7pm with gates opening at 5pm

I may be wrong but I thought the bloke from IMG said the 10% discount for early booking would be on next years prices but a few people Ive spoken to seemed to think Id misheard and the discount would be offered on this years price.

Didnt he say that last night after winning in his interview ?

Well done boys. delighted with the win

Enjay Designs will probably have them at the Fayre

Fancy you knowing where all the pubs are Shazzy !!!!!!!!!!!

Bring all the reference numbers relevant to your booking and take it up with them at the stadium office on the day, they have had your money long enough, make sure you get a good deal !

Ive visited Paradise Park both before and since the museum opened and to be honest the Park is excellent value for money especially for younger children, the museum is a bonus for speedway fans, its not a place to go to for a couple of hours, its perfect for a full day out from the time it opens right up to closing time

Not sure if this will be of any interest to anyone.... As of this afternoon Travelodge are promoting a 'rooms for £9' deal with advance bookings up to 6 months, as they have a lodge at Telford it would provide a very cheap overnight stay for anyone thinking of traveliing to this meeting (the deal will not be available until after 12 noon today) http://www.travelodge.co.uk/
