funny old world speedway when a club folds others rally round to give them grace and allow them in for free if they have a season ticket for a defunct club but the rest of the time they just want to charge us as much as they can for as little as possible

we were told a few weeks back that drinks and light snacks would soon be on sale in the back straight bar wonder what happened as there not on sale yet as far as i know if the burger van kept there prices affordable they woul maybe have sold enough to make it worth while but a couple i stand with stopped using the burger van on the 1st bend early on in the season when the prices kept going up and down from week to week

there are some good riders round at the moment but overall i dont think that the quality in depth is in speedway as it was a few years back its allways hard to judge different eras as the equipment is different and tracks are prepaired different edinbrugh are on a role and pulling off results that really most dont expect some of its luck some of them are just the right place at the right time when other teams are having a off night at home due to injuries or track conditions

bellego goes very well round workington

the thing is the fans pay there entry fee and in return they expect to be entertained if the promotion are putting on a below standard product then they ask for all negativity that comes with it weak teams poor track no back up from food/drink stalls its all down to the promotion the fans cant turn it round if the promotion of any team dosnt want to do it any more then let someone else take over dont run it into the ground before letting someone else try and bring it back to life

you would be happy with a win at home by that margin but to do it on a away track is just briliant well done to all the riders in the comets team all played there part only workington riders not to win a heat were mason and guest kasper but they both got 3 paid wins each

good even meeting tonight no fallers or retirments and only 1 restart makes a nice change to go through a meeting with no messing around

all the people running but the guy eating a burger hardly flinched the gready sod mind you the price of food at a speedway meeting id make sure i eat it aswell

when he rode for workington he was almost unbeatable round derwent park and it was a great racers track back then high on the banking round the 3rd/4th bends was breath taking now more often than not anyone going up theres looses ground

only only allowed when its 1 off the bspa comitee members that wants the change

depends how far away you think is acceptable there was plenty of others closer who were not medical staff thats the part in which made me think they were far enough away to not be a distraction and what about the people standing infront of the pit gate blocking the ambulance coming out even after the ambulance sounded its horn they were slow at mooving and they wernt ipswich riders

wasnt really sure what the grandstand crowd was getting upset about in all fairness to ipswich they were well away from where rene was being looked over so not a issue in my opinion i have more of a issue when theres more track staff leaning over than medical staff were all concerned when a rider from any team goes down but leave it to the medical staff and give them room to work

agree with you here we were all worried and really coudlnt see a home win but the lads pulled in back in good style we were lucky again and we owe a lot to our guest and new reserve signing

we knew while the meeting was still running word gets round pritty quick on some matters hope all are well and all that but you were close to being this weeks topic just like workington were last week

personaly i think howarth let us down a rider who rolls round in pain like he did saturday was never gonna be fit enough to ride 3 days later

storry ive heard 1 top member of workington staff wanted to ask the paying public what they wanted to do as in wait or go so im not sure who actualy made the call regardless of if you think it was right or wrong call its done and dusted now if the bspa think theres something wrong with the call then im sure they will step in i wish it had continued but im not crying over it draw a line under it and move on

no booing could be heard down next to the bar on the back straight booing and cheering is all part of speedway sometimes its not so good when a rider is lying injured but most speedway fans dont actualy watch the full race they only watch the lead rider or the riders from there team

nothing rasist in my post just facts i couldnt hear any booing but there were fans celibrating there sides heat win where is the rasist connection in that i have scotish relatives so far from being rasist towards them

where i was i couldnt hear any fans booing but on the back straight there was plenty cheering when kyle went down and after the race while the medical staff were atending to kyle

wont be allowed a guest for howarth only josh and ashley unless 1 off the others are missing aswell it will be r/r for kyle

going by google maps the distance between derwent park and wc hospital is 10.9 miles and 21 mins travel time now any one local will know its a small understaffed a&e department on arival by ambulance unless your life is in imediate danger you will be kept on the ambulance or in a coridoor untill someone is free to see you therefore the medical crew that transport you there have to stay with you untill youre handed over also a few are saying about ambulance cover and comparing to other tracks some tracks pay for county ambulance workington run with st johns ambulnce with fully qualified doctor also in attendence so the st johns ambulance hasnt the same cover for transporting injuried parties at times unless the doctor goes with them workington have a seperate medical room as the back up but the ambulance being of site along with the doctor will have stopped all racing untill another ambulance was on site at least thats how i understand it

feel for all the people stuck there in the bad conditions the organizors should foot the bill and get them all a hot meal the weather is in the hands of the gods but keeping people in for 2 hours after start time and then calling it off without a wheel being turned is not acceptable

but he came under pressure once wells went for glory thats why this is a team sport and team riding you look after your riding partner if you can to score more points for the team

most acurate account ive seen on last nights win if redcar had 3 riders on song we would have more than not had another home defeat some workington riders final score flattered there performance a fair bit as for robbo well he was unfortunate in heat 1 jim mcgregor at his best cancelled the 2 mins and put them on freash 2 mins when they lined up at tapes he said the freash 2 mins was because robbo was excluded for not making the original start then going off 15 metres robbo fell before the first bend all on his own and didnt do much in his next rides too

and didnt carr actualy pass wells on the fist lap
