So Craig Cook at number 1? Poole out on a limb for the Comets and other northern and Scottish teams as well but the comets supporters will be down to see you UTC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's come on leaps and bounds this season Take your blue tinted spectacles off and try to look at non Poole riders as decent prospects. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His u21 final win was as good a ride as seen at ashfield this season. And that takes some doing! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted October 15, 2023 10 minutes ago, Aries said: Great to see Worky return to the Championship. I’m hearing the Championship will be considerably watered down from this years version, with double uppers being extremely limited. We’ll see. I’m guessing that’s to try and accommodate a fair few of the NDL riders in to the Championship who’ll otherwise be out of a job/quit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawson would be a more reliable option. Anyone from the 2018 lot an option? Adam Roynon is from pretty near (just down t'road!!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Workington is not on Mars ok.??? Maybe they we're referring to its inhabitants? Great to see Workington build back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 660 Posted October 15, 2023 Well done Workington good on you I reckon roynon will be in your team somewhere depending on the points total will depend what position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a Saturday and at 3 o clock means it's a great and convenient day out. Edited October 15, 2023 by 1Tsunami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted October 15, 2023 Giving the amount of time, money and effort it has taken to get Workington speedway back up and running I feel they were left with little option but to go Championship next year, especially when it is obvious there wont be a third tier league anymore.
