  1. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/20228283.tributes-paid-popular-seaton-dj-speedway-mechanic/

  3. for any interested funeral details for gaz are 12.00 at distington crem tuesday 21 june no dress code gaz would like you to ware whatever you wanted
  4. sad news for workington fans long time fan and helper garry sloan has passed away rip porky well known around a few tracks from his days on the spanners
  5. speedway can be like 1 big family always sad to loose 1 involved as much as dave tatum was
  6. thanks for that online forecast not showing rain till later on so might be in luck
  7. any weather reports on this looking to travel so updates are more than welcome
  8. not many are as passionate in the sport anymore bit rough round the edges but he did have many true speedway fans who loved his attitude and style at times he showed real promise
  9. fully agree with that statement but was it affecting him to the point he was a danger to himself and other riders drug tests are not only there to stop you getting a advantage they are there to keep everyone as safe as possible in this and other dangerous sports
  10. as with all tenants there will have been something in contract about leaving as you found it im also gutted that speedway has been lost to the area especially in the way it has Workington town almost always had a bitter grudge against the speedway jealousy is a very nasty thing im no rugby fan but I do have close friends who are connected to the rugby club aswell as close friends who were involved with the speedway in the past so I do know a thing or two about the goings on behind the scenes in the past (not so much in recent years)
  11. think your on the wrong track there but safe to say speedway or at least the current speedway setup wont be back at Derwent park
  12. if some of the rumours are right speedway was all set for 2019 if only some who claim they wanted speedway were willing to come down from the high chair a little (and for the good of the sport)
  13. totally agree with you on this if good riders are available and you can fit them in no real problem aslong as the riders dropped before even turning a wheel are compensated for any costs they have prepairing for there contracted ride
  14. funny thing with this announcement there was something about kyle and it said he was Glasgow rider over a week before official statement id guess he was Glasgow rider within 48 hours of Workington going under
  15. from what ive been told the vans were probably the unpaid workers tarted up term for what was once known as community service when you been a naughty boy or girl
  16. apparently reds fixtures are finished in april but I can also say after talking to a contact there is talk of things starting to move over to Derwent park in may but my contact has also gave some very bad news that there's talk of some rugby fixtures being at reds ground as the NEW pitch will take 8 weeks to lay and be ready for action so that looks like the end of speedway to me
  17. would he not have to reach a 7 pt average this year to qualify for next year who was it that had to sit out a couple of years ago ryan douglas maybe ?
  18. that's the bspa for you or just general state of british speedway
  19. aint seen masons article but I fully understand and agree with what your saying
  20. don't worry about it maybe Newcastle are interested and wanted it kept quiet
  21. he may be a fan but hes a business man aswell he knows how much money he lost first time round and maybe fancys keeping some cash back for his retirement how much money the company has in the bank has nothing to do with personal savings or income you can only take so much money out of a company before you end up in trouble via the court room
