Things change in Speedway, Edinburgh previously blocked Glasgow riding on Fridays, but eventually they were overruled. As for Redcar, hardly anyone races on Saturday's so there's no-one to complain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar have moved to Saturday for BSN. It's the BSN Series semi-final. All semi-finals live on BSN. Glasgow v Scunny on Friday so Redcar moved to Saturday. The draw for the semi-finals only took place on 7th May. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But do tell, I may eat my words and apologize. All of the above? I don't know, which is why I asked. But I notice you say "he knew he couldn't deliver on," which suggests you know? My guess is that either Brough Park put a stop to a stage being set up on the dog track, or the Council stopped it (I know they they blocked the mini fair he wanted to put in the car park). As far as cost is concerned, it was going to be a band made up of his mates and others, so would not have cost anything. Anyway this is a Workington thread, so, apologies to all.

martinmauger 584 Posted May 27, 2023 Belatedly adding 2p's worth: new Worky track is 'stupid wide', i.e. plenty of room, as my mate Tim puts it, he's not wrong there. When the surface settles down and the dirt builds on the outside, there will be nowhere to hide, the attack from riders at the back could come from anywhere. The prospect of watching Champs League & even Prem League riders on that track is literally mouth watering. Very good indeed to see and brilliant stuff for all involved with the Comets ....
