auntie doris 2,342 Posted June 27, 2019 Pity Worky closed after that magnificent treble. Used to love the speedway, especially the Fours, when I lived up there 2004/5, Stoney, Steady, Wrighty, etc., Mystic Mel, Gromet the Comet, some real characters at DP. But with hundreds losing interest since then couldn't afford to keep running. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At last common sense prevails Shaz Ā , not going to help us Workington Comets fans though . Why couldn't they have just revamped Borough Park and Derwent Park for all 3 sports . I know affordability is the main factor for losing the Comets , but ripping up the track gave no chance of a possible return .I'm really pleased with the result its been rejected as will a lot of others I know Edited June 28, 2019 by Taylorj 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) not good news on the stadium being rejected..... Ā Ā its brilliant news .Ā people in so called high places trying to make their markĀ on cumbria. i wonder who pays the bill for all the track being dug up . or is it just another money making scam to get more cash out of the systemĀ Europe aint gonna be happy , paying for something that wont get built ! that news will keep this thread ticking over nicely until xmasĀ .LOL.
