Injuries go with the territory. Can anyone guarantee that all 14 riders would be available if we postponed it at Workington request and to my knowledge they haven't. Last year teams refused re run dates cos they would not be at full strength and eventually they raced with teams full of guests at the end of the season in front of pitiful crowds. Is that what you want Please, do tell me which meetings we have cancelled because of our injury situation? Last year, the guest situation was caused through the amount of riders doubling up & this has been eased through the fixed night Premiership. Injuries, I know, do go with the territory, as we & others, have suffered in the past. This year there are plenty of free dates as posters are complaining of not enough regular speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point you haven't cancelled matches cos of injuries so why should we and yes we want regular speedway and that doesn't mean whenever 2 teams might be willing to meet each other provided all 7 riders are free that day!! If we race tonight it will be the first time we have had 3 Friday meetings in a row and Friday is meant to be our race night and you think we should cancel! There may be 'free' dates but I take it you magically know these free dates will be suitable to everyone? We offered to race at Workington on a so called free date but it didn't suit Workington so no match - and before jenga jumps in I had no problem with that. but so called free dates aren't necesarilly free. Doubling up might not be a problem but Poland still is and workington have I believe at least 3 riders contracted to ride in Poland and Glasgow at least two. These fixture would take priority over any rearranged Uk matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that's got to do with the last few posts which is about canceling a match in June with 'riders missing' so we can hold it in October with 'riders missing'. But since you mention it im sure you would have rather beat us in front of a big crowd (remember them) so that lots of people would have witnessed your tremendous victory but by the end of the season (27/10) nobody cared, nobody came to watch but hey Glasgow lost that's all that matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been around a long time and still doing second halves. That seriously devalues this meeting. Keeps the Worky wage bill down though, bit less for the liabilities column this month.

So we replace a guy who double figured on his last visit with another guaranteed at least 3 doughnuts, not the lads fault of course,but welcome to British speedway where nothing seems to matter,and the supporters who matter even less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats perhaps another downside to their cashflow issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
