Cumberland Classic

[Ricky Bobby 0]

Just an idea but personally i think its a good one!

 

The CC is on the same night as Robbo's benefit meeting so i can't envisage a strong line up for it.

I presume that riders would need paid to come to Workington to ride in it, so why not cancel it for this year and the Worky promotion can use that money to put on a few coaches to Rye so everyone can support Robbo!!!

 

I for one would love to be there for him and i'm sure i speak for other comets fans when i say that!

[Piccolo 47]

Let me get this right, cancel a meeting so that there is no income then spend the money you haven't got on coaches to Rye House?

 

Must be from Workington!

Must be from Workington!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LOL!!!

 

 

yeh piccolo does have a point about the no income i suppose

[MattyHart 0]

Why not just change it,surely there will be another free saturday.

Ok maybe i don't think for other Comets fans then.... but then again i suppose i'm just looking past my own nose!

 

Lets face it, its not gonna be a big crowd with the Comets line up plus Stancl, Rusty and a few others.

 

You'd have to pay these riders to come anyway and as Matty said you could put the meeting back a week or so.

 

I was thinking of an idea to help a genuinley nice guy who people like and its not like Workington Speedway struggles for money when we get well over 1000 spectators every week.

 

I see your point about income but you'd make the money back tenfold a week later with a line up including Stead, Holder etc
