Wee Eck 703 Posted November 23, 2023 A Cook comeback would be good for him and good for the sport. Hisp toxicity saw him dumped by Glasgow then banned at the request of Edinburgh so he’s got work to do to get back to where he should be. Workington moving to CL is a great opportunity for him and I hope he grasps it. He’s let so many people down over the years, but still loads are rooting for him. Here’s hoping he uses that support to spur himself on rather than complaining of feeling pressurised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why does Rob Godfrey get blamed ,I’m hearing Workington wanted to stay Saturday and there isn’t much choice as I’m sure there isn’t floodlights fitted at Derwent Park yet so early and late in the season there is no other choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They now race at Northside Arena, Derwent Park is the rugby stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H20 49 Posted November 23, 2023 Really disappointed they are running on a Saturday at 3pm again. So many fans work Saturdays and can not make most of the meetings myself included. Understand they have no lights but even a 5pm start time would help more people be able to attend. Also there will be more fixtures next season so more clashes with Reds matches and local Rugby League. There must be some positive reason other than for fans to be able to enjoy a pint because its a Saturday to run on a Saturday at 3pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 where have you been hiding the past 12 months or so, been plenty of coverage of the comets at the fantastic Northside arena, yes we have no floodlights at the moment, but they are in the planning for the future.

It was because Workington AND Lakeside(main/chosen race night) changed some of their race nights from Saturday to Friday & other teams, not just Friday night racing teams but their opponents as well, but because Godfrey's name was in the memo for teams to change back to their original race night, he gets all the blame.(remember it is or was a BSPA vote + promoters that vetoed the change) 21 minutes ago, phillwhitewasmad said: Because it fits the narrative As usual. It used to be Buster, as head honcho, but now Rob. Many Thanks. 10 minutes ago, Neila said: Cos Godfrey did not like other clubs riding on a Friday in 2018, as he wanted any guests to himself !!

You just have tunnel vision & do not see the bigger picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
