great rider and really nice person not too many around in speedway like nemo

i know its not the teams fault but maybe when a rider is banned either replace them or be made to use guest from national league

maybe thats part of the problem the prem league is too big the eliette league is to small and still cant draw full teams of quality riders the prem has been better value for money and entertainment for years but its dying fast unfortunatly there dosnt look like a solution im affraid

unfortunatly i fear that this will be workingtons last year in the sport so i feel for all berwick fans aswell as scunthorpe and any other track who looks in danger

exactly maybe the panters fans know something we dont was the same last night at workington konoopla went right off the pace but was still taking extra rides ash morris maybe didnt score too much but he looked the better rider

id agree with this and im a comets fan ash wasnt as poor as his score sugests after his first 2 of 7 heats konoopla didnt look that good and if they used ash in some races that raf took then maybe he would have scored more

car park has gone up 50% this year jenga its now £1.50 but still cheaper to park than for the rugby in the same carpark its £2 for the rugby hope to see you all saturday at derwent park

nobody is saying it shouldnt have been stopped they are saying it should have been stopped sooner sorry but thats a poor excuise not to attend speedway

you trying to say stevie worrall not up to the job i was there and worrall done his job any offical news on henry ?

please look after ricky wells without him at workington we neednt bother turning up

you would think if he had broke his arm he would have went to hospiat rather than make a protest as for whatever happened incidents during the race can be put down to all sorts poor riding bad/dangerous riding adrenaline but after race incidents are a totaly different thing and in my opinion more serious

who was the ref by the way

was a bloody good right hook too almost took his head off

i thought stefan danno at first but was it not stefan anderson

if hes been fined by the ref thats the end of it remember martin dugard getting away with a ban because the ref fined him on the night once for thumping his own friend (at the time ) the name of the swedish rider just dosnt come to mind

all fairness to barrett he had a very good meeting against workington last season where he scored and rode very well it was proberbly the strength of that 1 meeting alone that got him signed but apart from first couple of meetings this season hes been very poor

but edingbrugh like to darg meetings out in the hope the get called of and there promotor with influance will cry we win by default because they couldnt complete fixture they were awkward last year with atleast 1 team in rearanging rain off fixture were offered quite a few dates but wouldnt/couldnt ride on them dates which were all before cut off date

and there lies a lesson for all fans that call for more dirt when they dont understand fully how track prep goes i dont claim to be a expert far from it but ive wtnessed it before people calling for more dirt when the riders had too much to start with

not just scunny im affraid pal workington once had regular high crowds around 1500 to 2000 then denham took over banned around 200 straight away they took there friends and family with them and vowed never to return under his ownership now we have new owners and about 5 returned so all the ones who said they stayed away because of kieth denham were just using him as a way out workington is looking like its crowds are at danger point and its not nice thinking it could be the last season but otheras are in the same boat

only slightly older than me and the amount of my old school friends who are no longer with us is scary speedway cant afford to loose dedicated fans condolences to her friends and family

is that scunny workington or both speedway is dying in this country sadly

most teams will beat workington at there home track by that margin unfortunatly untill we get a fully comitted team almost every team can list ex assetts thats gone on to better things no point having a rider signed as a assett if they dont want to ride for the parent club

guested last night at workington but maybe redcar's redeclared team kicks in today sad news for benko but i will hold my hand up and say i thought plymouth were up to there old tricks again before i read the thread a few years ago (2 or 3) they turned up at workington with only 5 riders and only 1 reserve they were just taking the you know what running with weak patched up team but this was under a different promotion im sure we all know there was problems in the past meetings should not go ahead if a team dosnt start with 2 reserves in my opinion if another rider pulls out during the meeting its really bad for the paying fans all heats should start with 4 riders unless 1 is exclueded

agree with all you say apart from he it the exit of the 4th bend after the air fence strangly though theres been many crashed there most famous was chris mills when we had the air ambulance that made sky tv most go straight through but nathans foot looked to go underneath the gate it happened on the 3rd lap and the previous 2 laps he seamed to hit a patch that lifted him slightly on the 3rd he was slightly wider

nathan greaves broke both his tibula and febula in his first ride crash tonight
