to be fair even though they didn't really look like winning Berwick were better than the score suggests

yep would have been Friday 10th but I guess unless they arrange 1 for the 11th the road race fans wont miss out

I know there will be a few regulars missing at Derwent park on the 12th august a little event in Ireland the ulster grand prix will have a few Workington regulars making the trip over to dundrod

I know its in the post header but remember guys tis a 7.30 start tonight not the normal 7.00

while I wouldn't want to see the riders loose the chance to earn money it would be nice to protest if any such club asked them to guest after all weve seen it many time ride against you and score big points guest for you on garunteed fee and score sod all or ride against such clubs as a guest and ride your socks off to make them wish they hadn't stopped you racing at home that night

like a few years back when another team refused to rearrange a rain off with Workington until after the cut off point for play offs oh yes there promotor was also on the panel most corrupt sport around if half of what we hear is true

real sorry for all rye house fans and inturn fans of british speedway unfortunately I donk think this will be the only british speedway team to be lost to the sport this year

sounds like the thing a Politian knows about

tony swales use to do that years ago soak it to the base then top up as required

a good track man would mix clay into dry dusty shale to get it to bind as for shale well I suppose you get what you pay for we all know everything in speedway promotion is done as cheap as poss in most cases

I know its hard with the current hot weather but whats peoples views on the recent modern way of track prep where more and more don't like watering anymore

ive told you almost exactly what we were told the person went short of actually naming names

we have been discussing it if you had read back you wouldn't have had to ask maybe the teams who think they have the right to dictate to this rest of the league are waiting for Workington rider shortage before they agree to fixtures

Read the posts then I started this topic by saying THE BSPA HAVE NOW ASKED OR TOLD WORKINGTON to rearrange fixtures that were agreed pre season also 2 clubs who have people on the bspa panel have allready been offered new dates for matches which they have declined It's been the same for previous 2 years for Workington. Teams won't play fair with arranging new dates Workington fans have been told they might have fixture changes at short notice

it would be best if it wasn't someone biased to there own club and done it fair and square

theres not 1 reason it started to drop off before tony mole sold it on the new promotor started of by banning loads who didn't see eye to eye with around 200 were lost almost straight away with everyone who got banned there was probably 2 or 3 friends and family that stopped going there was also a break down in communication between club and fans so a few more drop off in time then the club passed on to the current promotion at first it picked up slightly but again for 1 reason or another similar story break down in communication/relationship between promotion and fans few mistakes been made some corrected some not but same result when 1 stops going the people around them think about it some follow and don't return its a shame as Derwent park can produce some good speedway and over the years ive made some decent friends from speedway it needs fans and promotion to work together there will never be anything that pleases everyone all the time but it cant be all 1 way either

wasn't there a bit of a bad patch on that third bens at Newcastle a while back that a few fell on a bit of a hole as the saying goes

Yeah surprising how some clubs get the fixtures to suit them Who works out the fixture list Oh say no more

I know how much Newcastle speedway meens to you but the track is not good is it very poor shape not always prepaired bad but its certainly not always good and not the best for entertainment is a understatement

3rd bend again at Newcastle how many riders have been injured on that bend over the years

yeah im sure there was a dead heat for Workington a good few years ago im sure jacko will know

the thing is the fixture list was setup and agreed pre season how they can change it now it could only be a speedway thing but the biggest kick in the teeth over this is we were told to keep a eye on social media as fixtures could change at short notice theres more than me that refuse to go down the facebook route so we rely on third hand info its pretty obvious the people making the rules in this country should have nothing to do with it as they are too biased and change the goal posts all the time somethings not going there way

so apparently the bspa are not happy that our season has been poor so far due to the fixture list we were told last night Workington and other clubs have been asked or told to try and rearrange some fixtures dispite 1 or 2 clubs been already offered dates to reschedule which they have turned down looks like Workington gonna struggle again to fit in fixtures I wonder if some of the fixtures the bspa want rearranged don't suit certain teams and they want a date that does suit them when Workington have riders missing now come on bspa and all other teams start to play fair whats wrong are you now scared Workington are a force to be reconed with as apposed to the team that most wrote off and slagged off as no hopers pre season

when we got wrote off pre season I said if the team clicked and they all rode to there ability we would upset a few

maybe the dust blocked our view but there was a few around us all thought it was ritchie
