  1. First visit down to new Worky and really enjoyed it, great wee set up and clearly a lot of love and hard work has gone into it, congratulations. The dust was the worst I have encountered since the days of Newport but once I got myself to the 3rd bend all was good. I thought the racing was excellent, no idea what some of the maniacs on here are moaning about. Well done Worky, bad day at the office for our boys, it happens!

  2. Shame I never saw you yesterday, haven't seen you since the Derwent Park days . Look yesterday was one of those days , it happens, Workington were better than us on the day . We still have much to look forward to , beat Edinburgh on Friday and we finish top . But we need to gate much better on Wednesday to have any chance of overcoming Poole in the KO Cup .

  3. First trip to Workington’s new home, great venue, really impressed its definitely got room for growth. As for today’s racing it was really hampered by an ultra slick powdery surface which the water just couldn’t adhere to and soak in so was simply back to being dry and dusty in minutes. The inside line was the place to be for the vast majority of races. Impressive performances from Fraser Bowes and Anti Voulas, with good back up from Jye Etheridge and Jacob Hook. As for Glasgow the just couldn’t get out of the gate, Kyle Howarth was always there or thereabouts in his 5 races resulting in winning ht15 and spoiling the two home riders maximum hopes. It'll have been said before but sure this venue would benefit from floodlights and have evening meetings under lights where the moisture will start coming up naturally rather than battling with the heat and wind during the afternoon meetings, but it’s a track I’ll come back to again

  5. Again another great night at Plymouth and another big crowd who loved every moment. The crowds are getting bigger and it’s consistent, it really is rising in popularity in Plymouth and the work the media team, Barry and mark have done is incredible. not sure how to post videos from Facebook on to here but there is a brilliant one summarising the evening and it really engages with the locals. Also the touch of added brilliance of the fire work display really added to the event. I feel like Plymouth could be a team to watch next year 👀

  6. I did comment on Kings Lynn so Premiership related. Morris has done pretty much zero as far as I can see to help with anything.

  7. I think Nicolai is deserving of a testimonial for his commitment to this country. Albeit, he's not served 10 years at a single club, he has given 17 years to this country. Also, his commitment to Kings Lynn, as it probably is for any club he rides for, is deserving. He has earned the Captains armband, for his presence both when things are going well, but also he's not afraid to front up when the team, or even himself, have had a bad night. For 2026, would I take him back? Yes i would. Those awful Witches look like they will be in or around winning the title, and these are the starting and current rolling averages. Jason Doyle 9.36 8.42 Emil Sajfutdinow 9.12 8.38 Tom Brennan 6.52 7.09 Danny King 6.14 6.64 Adam Ellis 5.47 5.88 Dan Thompson 3.11 5.42 For Nicolai to be effective, he needs to have a top 2 above him, dare I say a Lambert and Kvech, a couple of riders to take the pressure off him. He can then Captain and ride with freedom, and I can still honestly see him putting something on his current 6.42. We need 3/4 riders who will improve from 2025 to 2026, and a number 1, whoever that may be. A strong number 6 has worked to an extent this season, and maybe a fit Ben Cook would still see us challenging for a PO spot, but I don't think we are that far away.

  8. Good track or bad track ? Tiggers only had 3 heat winners can't win a meeting without winning heats !! Well done to the comets did not see that result coming, think their was several passes throughout the meeting, thanks for the Tigger fans for coming down, the better team won on the day . we produce some strange results through the year, if Godfrey and co did not pinch 2 points off us, we could be on the edge of the play offs. Whatever UTC 😄

  12. Sometimes you remember the stupid things that happen, as a Canterbury supporter four very stupid memories come back. when the supporters on the coach had a whip round to buy Mike Ferreria from Coatbridge so he could ride that night. The time the coach driver was declared as our number 8 at Berwick so we didn't get a fine for not having enough riders, An injured Bob Spelta shouting abuse at fellow Ausies at Crayford and a Crayford supporter telling him he should try riding if he thought he could do better, with Bob pointing out he got ten points last time he was there. But the highlight must be the time Barry Thomas started his bike in the back of the coach full of supporters while on the motorway on the way to an away match. Frightened the life out of everyone including the driver. Good times.

  13. I have posted similar on this forum before, only to be shot down by those 'in the know' that. Throttles never stick, cut outs always work, it's no risk. Despite the rule book stating the lanyard must be attached whilst the motor is running. It is, after all only a rule

  16. Hopefully Ellis is ok. We’ll find out when the Sheffield preview drops on Tuesday. If he ends up missing the play offs, then Rew has to come in to the equation surely? Average fits, and he still feels like a Witches rider so more palatable than someone else. After a slow first half of the season, he’s ridden in to good form the last third of the season also.

  17. far less satisfying though when you doctor your home track to do it far better to give everybody a decent surface and may the vbest team win

  18. We do need to get a grip on the dust, it's not acceptable to paying fans or a good selling point when trying to recruit new fans. You should be able to watch from were you wish without getting covered end of.

  23. No, I'm saying the track is the same for both teams, as a neutral I've seen better and I've seen worse, if you're blaming the track for the Tigers performance you're way off the mark my friend.

  24. BSN is a commercial enterprise independent of BSPL/SCB and they don’t have the right let alone the power to fine anyone. The fight should have boosted their business and they will be grateful for it. I suspect the ruling bodies will see it differently as they seem to have lost sight of what constitutes entertainment.

  25. Tbf I tend to waffle and lose track but in what way have I talked my way out of a job? Pretty sure what I’ve said was correct, and I include myself in that category, the club does need to change its attitude. Imagine my job with Ryan is reasonably safe so at least I have that to fall back on.

  26. We have started this page to support Scunthorpe Scorpion Jake Allen, who during one of his last league fixtures of the season, experienced a series of unfortunate events leaving him with only one salvageable bike going into his remaining fixtures. During his first ride an engine was blown therefore leading him to race on his second bike. In his second a crash caused him to lose the vast majority of his second bike including front wheel, diamond, handle bar and both guards. There was also damage to his forks and helmet. The costs are yet to be determined but are estimated to be £1,500. Jake wanted to publicly thank those who approached him Friday to offer their support, have sent messages since and Colin Poole for his support in piecing together his bent and broken frames since Friday’s fixture. Fundraiser by Dan Palmer : Help get Jake Allen back on track!

  35. No, the promoters didn't! Had to pay their four top-earning riders for three away legs on the proceeds of one home meeting. The meetings were popular in the 'seventies, when costs were much, much lower. To try and run such meetings now would be a financial disaster. Be cheaper to hire Bartosz for a meeting.

  36. It could be some end of season tournament for those that didn't qualify for the play offs... then joined by the losing semi finalists or something, I know the fans definitely bought into the 4's, trouble is the riders probably didn't 🤷‍♂️

  37. They are the ones who have been doing well! Rew has stepped up as the third heat leader; it is the No. 1 who has been the biggest disappointment.

  38. You know what is painful, reading your comments. The Comets are fast today, what do you think is going to happen if we get out in front and are fast. The Comets riders have had no problems passing today as seen in the last few heats. Stick to being an armchair fan and it’ll do us all a favour. Plenty of proper Glasgow fans here btw. Kudos to them 🫡

  41. This Glasgow side with Nagels will walk the league. Shame he misses so many meetings , but thats par for the course these days with riders. Riders just ride here there and everywhere when it suits them. After spending some time in the doldrums after the 2011 league title win, its great to see Glasgow back up near the top the last few years though. Scotlands finest.

  43. Would Allied Vehicles get involved with a club who (according to you) are not going to run Championship next season? Maybe, but, this is a Poole thread, not Workington.
