Saturday as per DP and under lights is favourite like in the good old days... however there are some fans saying that Sunday tea time may be a better shout after the Reds play... We know Fridays are a non starter and no one seems really keen on a midweek night... So as things stand my best guess is Saturday nights are odds on favourite... Regards THJ Had a couple of good Saturday nights in Worky watching the Comets... (From what I remember given the post match hospitality in the local pubs and B and B)... Be great to spend another Saturday evening/Sunday morning up there. .) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No.but see below... and there was a bit of history when Worky were blocked using a Friday as there second night in the last season they run and these Cumbrians have very long memories... no matter what league they are in... 2 hours ago, phillwhitewasmad said: Would suggest that with the volume of teams been rumoured to be in the league there will be lots of double up riders from the championship so Friday will come into play True... and another night is not inconceivable however Saturday was thought to be the best option because of the other sports that are popular in the town and they dont want to clash with anyone but it is still open to debate... 41 minutes ago, mikebv said: Had a couple of good Saturday nights in Worky watching the Comets...

Not clear on the photo but on the infield coming out of 4th bend (Rh side of photo ) is an electric pole about 8 meters from the curb, this was on the outside of the original training track near where the refs box was.

The temporary road over the railway line Opposite Asda was removed a while ago after a new bridge on the road to the docks was built, so park up near the big pile of logs and walk round the locked gate 5 minutes down the road you will see the track on your right hand side. Also a small car park on the right just over the bridge, but the caravan people were parked here the other week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
