Honestly Jenga is that the best snide remark you can come up with “are you J.C.F. in disguise” and accuse me of posting “bilshot” Well Geoffrey we all know who the “King of Bilshot” is don’t we. You keep posting constant diatribe and vitriol under the guise of “it’s a joke marra” it’s just a bit of craic marra” “can you not take a joke marra” “it’s all done tongue in cheek marra” but it’s not Geoffrey is it, you are just an odious little man who gets pleasure from trying to wind people up and some sort of sad pleasure when you get a bite. Well go on I will bite. As after watching you cry like a baby in front of Steve Whitehead when he gave you a solicitor’s letter for the rubbish (bilshot) you had been posting on here then turning away after apologising profusely and still in floods of tears stating to your marra Scarra “I told him’ he’s just a Muppet” wow what a comeback and especially when Steve did not hear it, well what have I got to lose. On my first ever post I had to apologise to all my loved ones, family, friends and Stuart Robson as I vowed to all of them that I would never post on here, unfortunately the straw that broke the camel’s back was something that you posted on the Lakeside Hammers v Workington Comets - Friday 1st June thread and as a new poster I could not get my content uploaded and passed in time to enter the debate, however you have given me the golden opportunity here to respond. There had been four previous occasions where I had come mightily close to posting on here twice to Mr Snackette who could be rather condescending at times to say the least and twice to your good self and my intention was to be the “Voice of Reason” but that pen name was taken so I run with THJ as I will always endeavour to be honest in whatever I post and likewise if I am wrong I will be just as quick to retract and apologise. Remembering the issue you posted on the Lakeside Hammers v Workington Comets thread - Friday 1st June which was Libel, plain and simple. You accused Steve Whitehead of “taking money” off the riders to fund Mr Whitehead’s “Playboy Lifestyle” and as Libel is defined as defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures. You basically accused Steve Whitehead of theft and of living the high life on the proceeds of taking money off the riders which is totally untrue and as such; Libellous. Now Geoffrey I don’t know how you could perceive Mr Whitehead is a Playboy as I can confirm Steve is a hard working straightforward guy who has a regular 8 till 5 job and works dam hard at juggling this job, his commitments to his Sister and ongoing commitments to Workington Speedway on top of regular family commitments (like most of us). Oh but he wears casual shorts when it’s only warm outside and sunglasses on the top of his head, in Workington of all places, how very dare he, LOL The efforts Steve Whitehead has put in behind the scenes at Workington are often underappreciated and I have heard various comments from people deriding him and his efforts and actually quoting from ludicrous and inaccurate posts made by you Geoffrey, and at the start of the season you were a one man wrecking crew with the damage you were doing to the Comets Brand and when you were chastised about it you went sarcastically the other way and tried to tone it down but your obnoxious inner self is starting to show through again Geoffrey and you are reverting to type. Steve is “marmite” to be honest but there is not a malicious or dishonest bone in his body and if you don’t like him; his view is “that’s your choice” and he would not lose any sleep over any statements or comment made (especially on here) If they were nothing more than personal thoughts stating perceived facts. However to actually state that someone was stealing from riders to fund a Playboy Lifestyle was bang out of order especially when it is common knowledge that the club have had some financial issues especially towards the end of last season and the start of this one. The “Poor Jenga” brigade need to be made aware of a long (very long) past history of antagonistic and obnoxious posts not just on this web site but on the “Workington Speedway Unofficial Forum” which was shut down by the promotion due to the continuous diatribe being posted by Jenga and his terrace buddy and partner in verbose malfeasance Scarramanga. The promotion could have (and should of in my opinion) taken action at this time but chose not to do so in the belief they would keep the peace and by not stating the real reason as to why the plug was pulled on the unofficial forum however they got absolutely slaughtered by you Geoffrey and Scarramanga for shutting the forum down. So they were condemned for keeping a discreet silence. It is a complete contradiction for the promotion as they are dammed for perceived heavy handedness in one breath and then slated for not passing out information or keeping the fans informed in the other. So if they had of informed the fans of the real reason why the unofficial forum was shut down they believed it would have stirred up a hornets nest so as a Service Recovery Strategy they decided to say nothing. Honestly they can’t win!!! Not just this promotion have felt the wrath of Geoffrey and friend thought as the previous promotion was targeted by these two with some pretty nasty and cheap shots and can I add unequivocally that Keith Denham was (and still is) a gentleman and was always approachable (as is Steve) and neither deserve the abuse they received through these forums. Keith like Steve is a hard working (and successful) businessman who has a passion for Speedway and both opted to become Speedway Promoters and I don’t think Keith would have left the club as a promoter if it was not for the vitriol being spouted not just against him which he accepted (just) but when the attacks become very personal and directed towards his family this I believe was a major factor in why he decided to call it a day as a promoter What if these forums had been around when your dad was a promoter Geoffrey what would you have made of it? If there were vitriolic and disparaging comments made about Eddie Thornborrow (Thornbarrow Thornburra Thornborough Wheelbarra, Peterboro, whatever the spelling is. LOL "just a joke marra") during his tenure in charge of the Comets which was not very successful in the one year (1980 I believe) he ran the club as a promoter. I could make other cheap shots here but what’s the point I don’t want to sink to the depths you “troll” Geoffrey. Two wins in the whole season and then the club folding the next, wonder what the "Jenga" of the day would have made of that, More to follow eh! Further if disparaging comments had been made public about what Eddie was up to; or not; whether true or not: whatever the case may have been when he was running the club and someone like your good self was making disparaging comments about his family would you carry on the way you do now. Or is this why you do go on like you do. Unfortunately (or fortunately) there was no internet in Eddie’s day and with the team being bottom of the league and with only two wins to their name all season, surely even a team full of your favourite rider “James Sarjeant” couldn’t have performed that badly. Could they? You scream that as a paying customer you are entitled to information, what happened when Daddy was running things in the 1980's before instant media? You waited for the local paper, the Speedway Star or on rare occasions a radio or TV report, the opportunity to vent your spleen was very limited. Everyone has the “Right of Free Speech” will be the cry and yes I agree they do; to a certain extent however there is no such thing as Freedom of Speech without accountability. Legal systems sometimes recognise certain limits on the freedom of speech, particularly when freedom of speech conflicts with other rights and freedoms, such as in the case of libel amongst others. Justifications for limitations to freedom of speech often reference the "harm principle" or the "offence principle”. Limitations to freedom of speech may occur through legal sanction or social disapprobation, or both. Therefore Geoffrey you can state anyone is a miserable s*d, ugly s*d, tight s*d, old g*t etc. as a statement of fact, however you put thieving in front of those then you better have the evidence to prove it or be prepared to face the consequences that come with making that statement (especially in writing). This is why Steve Whitehead asked for a retraction by you and an apology as the post was offensive, totally untrue and constitutes Libel and I don't think Mr Whitehead was being unreasonable in what he was asking. I suppose the crocodile tears were just for added effect once you had been outed. Geoffrey I find you a morally reprehensible misanthropic miscreant who tries to play the “cheeky chap” card with his cute spelling mistakes in his barbed comments writing them down like a school kid new to the scene and when challenged about your reprehensible behaviour you try to play it off as a joke and turning it around on the other person with the “can’t you take a joke like” adage or “it’s just a joke get over it” or the delightful “am just joking Marra” Sorry Marra I am not buying that in the slightest. As I have stated I was there when Steve Whitehead politely and discretely pulled you to one side and explained what he (Steve) was upset about; and you in floods of tears vowed to mend your ways, post an apology and said you didn’t mean what you said and fully understood Mr Whiteheads point of view. Again sorry Marra I am not buying that one in the slightest either. Not with all the crocodile tears in the world then adding !I will try my best but I don't really understand this internet thing" and "I am not sure what to do"? PMSL In fact as someone previously had posted your content is a load of “Tripe” and if you had any sense of shame or even honour you wouldn’t show your face around the place ever again; you have relentlessly disparaged this promotion and the previous one for that matter and the two guys who have been at the forefront of your obnoxious, snide, misinformed, bitter and twisted comments; in Steve Whitehead and Keith Denham; who rest assured both only ever have had the best interests of Workington Speedway in their hearts and souls and all you wanted to do Geoffrey was hide behind an avatar (or a made up name at least to hide behind in relative anonymity) to put across your biter and twisted agenda you are some piece of work pal. Well I have been totally honest in my opinion and I do hope people see you for what you are “an obnoxious pathetic little specimen” and I do wonder at times is it a case of jealousy in that your old man couldn’t make a go of it but the last two promotions have at least made a good fist of the job at hand and delivered on putting out competitive teams and delivered on the entertainment factor You are a plastic fan who needs to take a long hard look at himself and stay off here and well away from Derwent Park. Oh and if you do turn up I will introduce myself and pass on some “billshot” its nice to say hello. More to follow. Finally you might consider a name change and I know you have been accused of being a “Troll” and a “Keyboard Warrior” in the past but can I suggest Gollum because I can see the resemblance with this character and yourself Geoffrey with the exception that you have more wrinkles but slightly more hair and if you are unsure who Gollum was he’s a “Lord of the Rings” character described as follows: Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk (Derwent River), who lived near the Gladden Fields (Cloffocks/Stainton Hole). Originally known as Sméagol, he was corrupted by the One Ring (The One Forum) and later named Gollum (Jenga) after his habit of making "a horrible swallowing noise in his throat" (Whilst crying like a baby) See you Friday and "More to Follow"!!! Regards THJ

Honesty If what is being proposed comes off I think you might be pleasantly surprised; Regards THJ

Honestly You are right and they are coming back before the end of the season which will be there third visit this year and they are off to Eastbourne I think next for another double header.... Regards THJ

Honestly PMSL and honestly "Trick Track" had nothing to do with it, the track could have been square, round or dodecahedron; attitude was the issue from the first run round the track to wave at the fans. Had a long chat with some of the riders from both sides at the return meeting at DP and others who were there and the differing opinions were wide ranging but its done and gone, lets see what happens when Worky are back up there for the next round of the KO Cup. Be interesting to see if they up there game Regards THJ

Honestly Knew the lad was hurting last night and fair play on his Tweet and he has gone up even further in my estimation Regards THJ

Honestly It had nothing to do with Dan being injured.... Regards THJ

Honestly It must have been the same apathy I sensed at Edinburgh on the 30th of August when I trialled up there and had to watch a Workington team get humped 65 - 25 off the Monarchs (two points less than the Diamonds) and after having only been up there in early June and seeing the Comets win a good match by two points in the Shield; and here was me thinking that they would have "perked up" for that second visit buoyed in the knowledge that they had already had a win up there. Funny old sport in'it? Regards THJ

Honestly Micheal Breckon had a nightmare in the referees box, when Jason skittled Aarnio and Kus in heat 3 and wasn't excluded was a shocker although Jason made me laugh with his comment to Christian Henry in the pits waiting for the restart when he said "they lent on me so a had to send them didn't I". Also in there haste to repair the air fence one of the track staff stood on poor Matej Kus whilst lying prostrate on the track with a leg injury and subsequently he was pulled from the meeting but the best laugh was when announcer Barry Wallace on seeing the Red exclusion light spinning said over the mike "hang on; don,t fill your programme in yet I think the ref has pressed the wrong button I will just ring him up and check" on the Aarnio exclusion in Heat 8; honestly PMSL but you knew then it was only going to go one way. Steve Worrall Josh Auty and Jason all put a shift in and the other three had a go and had their moments supporting the main heat leaders; also the 3 points Danny Phillips got might have been gifts but you have to stay on the bike and finish the race to get those points so fair play to him. It's a pity Scunny have been robbed for large parts of the season of their top riders due to injury as I believe they could have been in the play off mix with this team if they could have fielded their regular seven for the bulk of season rather than relying on guests and R/R. Good side when all firing together but hasn't really had the chance to develop this year. Newcastle on the other hand gave this one away to my mind Ludvig had night to forget and looked a rather forlorn sight in the bar afterwards and definitely not his usual self and in total contrast to his meeting the week previous when he got a 15 point maximum, then of course losing Kus after not getting beyond the first bend of his first race also had a major impact and notwithstanding the referee it all adds up to a disappointing evening and leaves a somewhat bad taste in the mouth. Well done Scunny got the job done in a professional manner and like to old advertisement said "Just like the Murphy's I'm not Bitter" (well not much anyway; two bob bit referees in a professional sport) (Oops sorry just slipped out Literary Tourette's) Regards THJ

Honestly Its a bit of a moot point now as the season is coming to a conclusion without much issue (but the usual panic) however if the drinks night comes off this Friday at Scunny with the riders and the promotion (and anyone who attends) ask Rob what the catalyst was for the pulling of the Friday meetings and I think you will find it was a Sunday meeting that tipped everything over the edge where a team who had a guest booked in to ride at No 3, and if that rider had been injured in either of his Friday or Saturday meetings (which were designated race nights for his own club) would have meant the club he was booked in to guest for on the Sunday would have had to run with a National League rider due to the fact that they were having to use 3 guests and R/R and there was absolutely no one else available. Crazy but true. Also I think you will find that Scunny have utilised their second race day twice this season although I do agree that they have just got on with their meetings and been fortunate that they have not been in a position where their fixture list has been pulled and required meetings to be rearranged. On the Keyboard Warriors comment (which I had to Google for a meaning as I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not) (and its not) its okay leaping to the defence of your club and/or promotion but if there are mitigating circumstances why a side haven't been given the opportunity to fulfil their fixtures and others are willing that side do not to conclude those fixtures by sticking to a hard cut off point is a tad unfair, then expressing contempt at the cut off point being extended and again not accepting the reasons of why that side couldn't meet their fixture obligations, so the "defence clause" works both ways, and again in my honest and humble opinion to me it devalues what you are trying to achieve which to my mind is getting the best 4 teams from over a season of fixtures into a play off competition. (is that not what the whole season is about?) Finally on this can I add that Rob Godfrey supported the application from certain promotions (plural) to extend the season slightly to give the opportunity for clubs to get these rearranged fixtures in before the new cut off date. So Rob isn't the pantomime villain who some try to paint and what he does is; in general; for the best interest of the spot and I would suggest anyone to talk to him as he is a genuinely nice guy and quite approachable IMHO. Also he listens which is a great attribute. On the meeting and as a selfish point I was pleased the the tapes played up at the start as we were running late due to an accident and would have missed the first heat but due to the "knicker elastic" playing up we saw the full meeting and once the track dried out from about heat 8 or 9 there were a couple of fantastic races with the outside line working really well and although stating that Klindt hugging the inside line in the first race when the track was still wet (from the heavy showers experienced) wasn't bad either and I still haven't found out what the time was for that heat although from the centre green Rob announced that it had looked quick. Comets were gating and found that outside run in the drier dirt to their liking and Scunny were having to graft to get the passes in also how close was Kyle Bickley to getting a "big scalp^ and I spoke to Steve Worrall straight after that race and he had a chuckle and said "that was nearly embarrassing" and complimented Kyle's riding and track sense and Steve for one was definitely relieved when he finally got past young Bickley, and what a cracking race heat 15 was; Jensen leading for what seemed 3 and 9/10ths laps and getting caught on the run in for a draw that Scunny didn't really deserve but fair play they got stuck in and got the draw to make the return leg an interesting affair. I also need to comment on the Keyboard Warrior jibe; Honestly after 12 posts PMSL (once I had read what it meant that is! Doh!) Oh and when I came in and had a chat to a few friends from Scunny who stand by the tapes and I had asked if they knew some of the Scunny "Keyboard Warriors" so I could be introduced and have a craic unfortunately they didn't know any of the main protagonists so the opportunity to meet up was lost, however in the bar I had a good craic with the three Wolves fans who were on their 102 meeting of the season and still counting. Brilliant... Regards THJ

Honestly Tony Jackson rang every possible rider who 1. fitted the missing rider's points average limit 2. riders who were not racing that night and appeared to be available and 3.ultimately (and thanks to him) Dale was the only rider who was "available" to (and wanted to) do the meeting. So even on Glasgow's preferred race night Workington still had difficulty in obtaining a rider with Championship credentials to replace a rider (Dan Bewley) when they were allowed a facility. So they went, sucked it up and fulfilled the match . However when certain other clubs had difficulty in obtaining guest riders they choose to pull the pre-agreed meeting of three other teams, whose first choice race night wasn't a Friday, to allow these Friday clubs a bigger pool of riders to choose from but this was on their chosen race night. Not exactly cricket is it Regards THJ

Honestly Your not wrong, however cooperation, or lack of it between promotions is one of the main factors here as to why we are at the cramming stage of the season, most accept and understand rain offs its part of the game, but you can drive a bus through the rule book and although most of the "Rules" or guidelines are made in good faith there are always promoters who want to bend them to the nth degree to suit their own situation or ignore them totally and run the gauntlet; and who knows they might get away with it. I think this used to be called cheating in the old days but it goes on all the time and no matter how much moaning is done it falls on deaf ears, when its gone they might listen then? Oh to late then I suppose, never mind we had a good run. Its just not the British way to do things really is it, fair play and sportsmanship and the likes, Eh! okay call me an old romantic. Regards THJ

Honestly Bear with me on this and it's not that I disagree with you however there are numerous mitigating facts and circumstances to this fixture fiasco. The whole idea of the reduced number of fixtures was to save promotions money, it was also to give promotions a chance to run one Home meeting one week and an Away fixture the next. The reference was home/away fixtures work in other sports especially football. However what I don't think was fully appreciated is other sports tend to have squads or pools of participants/players that they can call upon, football teams have large squads of players so teams can readily bring in a replacement for anyone injured or unavailable. Speedway in this country does not operate in this manner (although it does in Poland with squads) and when riders are not available there is a clear dislike for teams to run with a Guest or Rider Replacement for unavailable/missing riders by promotions and fans alike (unless there is a serious injury then people tend to accept these facilities more readily, which I have never really understood) However Poland has had a major impact for all the reasons outlined in other parts of this forum which I wont go over again here and although it might not seem like it there was a valid reason and some methodology for the approach taken (its your call as to whether you think it has worked or not, I know mine). When organising meetings at the start of the season the majority of the promotions met in Rugby before the season kicked off to organise their own fixtures and sort out who they would ride against and when. (in previous years it was left to one promotion to sort out the fixtures and this left some promotions unhappy). So for Workington Steve Whitehead took himself down to Rugby to arrange all of his clubs fixtures. Steve had to avoid 3 Saturdays due to the stadium being used for two music events and one Rugby League event. He was approached by other promotions who gave him their preferred option on when they would like to come to Derwent Park, he did not have to twist any arms up backs to force anyone to attend when they didn't want to; and ended up with 6 or 8 Fridays (cant remember the exact figure now) rather than Saturdays to run meetings which included the 3 forced changes, Workington were under the opinion that everyone was happy and had been accommodated on nights of their choice and Workington were happy. It was then decreed that Workington could not run on Fridays due to a shortage of riders and the bulk of their fixture list had to be rearranged and this is where the problems started as clubs who had happily arranged Fridays were now reluctant to come on Saturdays as some of their riders would not be available due to other commitments and they were not prepared to race without a full compliment of riders, so that left Workington in the lurch and after they had been forced to used Dale Lamb up at Glasgow due to a lack of riders on Glasgow's preferred Friday night; was a bit rich. Although Glasgow hadn't done anything wrong it just happened that Dale was the only rider available, but did it devalue the result any or rob the fans of any entertainment that night? Consequently other clubs whose official race night was Friday who had also had issues obtaining guests expressed there frustration and clubs whose race nights were not Fridays had all there second race day meetings pulled (Workington were not the only ones impacted by this decision). So Workington not being able to run the mutually arranged Fridays and the reluctance of some promotions to agree new fixture ended up in Workington having run only 2 home fixtures by the end of June. The dreaded Double Up/Down riders and Poland were the main issue I believe and of course rider availability, so not really the race night again in my view. As for anyone hoping that clubs miss a Play Off series due to not having the correct amount of fixtures need to remember that this has already happened to a certain extent. Workington have been in the position where due to the weather they were denied the opportunity to get to the play off final. In 2012 the year Newcastle were top of the league and Scunthorpe won the Play Off, Workington did not fulfil their final away fixture against Edinburgh. A meeting they may or may not have won however Scunthorpe who had their full quota of matches run; went through to the final against Somerset; and the rest as they say was history, however to me it devalues the whole process and that doesn't happen in any other sport either. Personally I would much prefer to see teams in finals who are there on merit. What's the glory if Kings Lynn beat Belle Vue only for the Somerset/Poole meetings to be washed out from now to the end of the season? Do Kings Lynn say they are play off Champions? Probably yes but again me personally I would run until December if needs be to get to the final outcome. There are always exceptions in any sport (more so in Speedway) but a rigid cut off date that means a team that could possibly end up in the bottom half of the table going to the play offs honestly can not be right, is it? Surely? Regards THJ

Honestly Dave £16:50 for a concession at Edinburgh and I can think of a few different choice words other than Strewth! Took a half days holiday and headed off with anticipation on the 270 mile round trip from Cumbria to "The Dale" for this meeting, topped up the tank with £53:00 of fuel just in case and away we went. £18:50 to get in so times that by two (£37:00) and two programmes £6:00 then the parking £2:00 Very little change from £30:00 for grub and 4 pints of Tennent's. That adds up to around £128:00+ for one and a half hours of so called entertainment. That doesn't include the near two and a half hours to get up there and the same back and for what. To watch a Workington team who quite frankly came across as wanting to be anywhere else other than "The Dale". The meeting was torture. So approximately 8 to 10 hours out of my life that I will never get back let alone the cash wasted. To say we were disappointed is an understatement but the Edinburgh team can only race against whoever is out on track. So a very expensive night for not much entertainment that's for sure. But it does need both teams to play their part. However it gets better, the following night at Dewent Park an Edinburgh fan on paying his £13:00 concession to get into the ground stated "what an expensive spot this is" and when I pointed out a concession into "The Dale" was £3:50 more at £16:50 he said "no its not" I said "yes" he said "no" and it turned into a "Chuckle Brothers Sketch" honestly I PMSL, the old boy, I assume, was a season ticket holder at "The Dale" and either didn't realise what they pay up there for a concession or their season tickets are dam good value for money. Whatever, I would have been interested to hear if he thought he got value for money after watching the return meeting in Workington as I can confirm that this meeting at Dewent Park was one of the best meetings I have seen there in the last 10 years of attending and credit has to got to Steve Lawson for getting the track "right" and the Edinburgh team for coming with the right attitude, what an advertisement for Speedway and in total contrast to the previous night. Costs well £16:00 times by 2 and a dozen pints of Coors £36:00, programme £2.50, parking £2.00 and a burger at £3.00 and the worlds biggest Kebab Wrap at Maryport Pedro's on the way home for another £4:00 (you need something to soak up the drink) and of course the obligatory raffle tickets and other sundries at the track so around another £80+ spent, which I would happily double if the entertainment was to match meetings like this week in and week out... To you, to me, to you, to me, Regards THJ

Honestly You couldn't be more wrong either Regards THJ

Honestly You could not be more wrong Regards THJ

Honestly Tom Bacon and Kyle Bickley have been with their respective teams since the start of the season To be fair the changes made by Newcastle and Workington were forced upon them rather than either promotion dropping riders, Lewis Rose decided he needed some time out from the sport and went into "semi retirement" for want of a better phrase or description and Mason Campton was replaced by Bradley Wilson-Dean under a facility to temporarily replace Campton who had been injured and once fit; came back into the team. I also agree that Rob Godfrey (RG) can be fiercely loyal to his riders. Furthermore it must be said that the promotions of all three clubs mentioned Newcastle Workington and Scunthorpe do have a good reputation for supporting their riders through thick and thin; and possibly retaining them for longer than is beneficial to all parties when they invariably go through a rough patch for whatever reason; where some other promoters have been known to be a lot less patient and a bit more ruthless. I also accept and agree with the point RG made when he stated it was doing no one any good having Danny struggling in the team, the fans, the club in general, Danny's team mates and most of all the lad himself. IMHO this is probably the best for all concerned and good luck to Danny as its the knock backs in life that make you stronger and knowing Danny he is very pragmatic and will take this in his stride and keep plugging away in an effort to improve. Regardd THJ

Honestly Makes what the Workington Promotion have done in standing by Kyle Bickley all the more laudable and hopefully Kyle will start getting amongst the points coming towards the business end of the season. His efforts at Ipswich made a big difference and were greatly appreciated and it is noticeable that he is starting to get on the pace at Dewent Park as well. Regards THJ

Honestly Got a text off the little fella at 02.21 this morning, After x-rays and an MRI scan he was released from hospital, no fractures or breaks only soft tissue damage to the shoulder and upper arm muscle, he is feeling decidedly second hand and reckons he should only miss tonight's match against Glasgow with a bit of luck. After seeing the speed he was propelled into that air bag I would say he is a lucky (lucky) lad to come away with the injuries he has as it could have been much more serious than it was Regards THJ

Honestly Attempt number 3 at a post!!! I am thinking of changing my name to Totally Controversial John However here goes Firstly I must apologise to all my loved ones, family, friends and Stuart Robson as I vowed that I would never post on here, but here is something totally non-controversial just for the mushrooms. Having been a Speedway junkie from 1968 to 1984 then doing the Army, Job, Family and Kids thing more professionally I was lost to the sport for 25 years coming back in 2009 where I have remained loyal ever since. So that's me!!! The latest position as far as I am aware on up and coming Workington meetings is as follows. it certainly looks like Workington will be using two national league guests against Newcastle on Sunday as the FULL facility as mentioned is only available for the top two leagues in Poland and as Rene and Nicolai ride in tier/league three you don't get a facility. Not great but it is certainly no making or fault of the promotion and not much they can do about the situation, although they have tried. Furthermore Dan will be missing the next couple of Saturdays due to other commitments however there will be a facility for him and I believe Rider Replacement will be utilised Regards THJ
