suerly admin have the option to see all pm's and act on them in the same way they would with a post thats made in bad taste

from what I've heard the comets are about to get a New owner

just how will telling the truth get me into trouble. your showing your true colours. are you connected to the promotion in any way ?

the workington promotion had the option to rerun which they declined

why put something in a programe if its not for the suporters after all no one else will be buying it will they

i was actually thinking something similar jenga howarths riding last night just didnt seam right somehow cant put my finger on it but something wasnt quite right going in fast and running out wide and loosing ground when he clearly looked faster

anyone else who cant get on the website i got a message from a friend saying they couldnt get on so i tried and also cant log on ?

only 1 person didnt want cookie to stay at workington work out who that was i dont think it was cookie

from the horses mouth im affraid they cant afford the meetings it would mean running all double ot even tripple headers

thatrs what i said for this to happen 12 hts shoul have been run then take the result of the other back to 12 but its a rule for the future not 1 to be brought in after the meetings have taken place the promotion dont want to

its a pritty fair 1 when you think about it but i would say the meeting would have to run to ht 12 to be classed a resultif 1 meeting goes the full distance then the other only gets to heat 12 the team with 15 heats at home has a home advantage so in future aggregate score meetings maybe it should worked out on the same amount of heats but in this case i would expect ipswich to progress to the final with no protest from the workington management

dont think cookie was out of order to be honest he protested about what he thoughtthe crowd were cheering him and he cheered back some riders would have shouted abuse cookie didnt yes cookie parked the bike but it was his mechanic that stood there with the bike untill the riders in the next heat came out and he pointed to them where he thought lawson had gone over the line but if he did go over the line they should have been looking about 4 ft futher round towards the back straight not the place they were pointing at

wouldnt say too much or the earlier crossing of the white line might be brought up about 3 or 4 heats before ht 13 also if the edinbrugh manager hadnt dropped tully to use sargents 3rd ride in order to bring tabak in for him in ht 14 then edinbrugh might have won fair and square tully looked fastest edinbrugh rider after cookie who looked vey fast all nightlawson was very close to the inside line which side of it i wouldnt like to say but adam roynon passed cookie fair and squre in the same heat

didnt look like workington wanted to go through in both meetings why in the intervel between the 2 match's was the blade not used but then used inbetween heats in the 2nd was this to delay the meeting untill the rain came

you are not getting what im saying yes i will pay it and so will you but theres plenty that wont or just cant the 2 people i usualy stand with wont be there pure and simple because they cant afford to pay the £50 its as simple as that a couple on only 1 low wage can not afford £50 i can afford it im not complaining for my own benifit im trying to get the point across the only way to increase the crowd is make it available for a larger percentage of the public not just the ones with plenty of spare cash

you just cant see the point can you money is hard to keep hold of and people just dont have enough of it to pay the high prices thats why other track are dropping there prices£10 for 2 meetings where its £15 for 1 at workington so going by your own coment if workington were to hold a double header and the 2nd match was a national league match it should be cheaper than a normal night at workington

i agree the atmosphere is much better under floodlights on dark nights dont know why it just is

i show my suport by paying my way that dosnt mean i have to keep quiet about thingsnewcastle berwick birmingham all understand why crowds are dropping it dosnt matter how good a deal is if its priced more than you can pay its out of your reach just how much did scunthorpe charge for there double header on 7th september i know the 2nd 1 was a national league meeting but i think it was priced at £10 for 2 meetings

stemoc wrote "Two sides to every story Scarra, you never seem to have the ability to look at the bigger picture, but then again you clearly have very little time for the current promotion" i dont have much time at times but i also recognise what he has done and does for workington speedway i know for a fact somethings are not as he would like us all to believe 6.30 to 10pm is only half hour longer than normal so the "wages" he pays for which isnt many exclueding riders and the bspa offical ref will not be much more if any as we all know how much he has cut costs that way the stewards are part of the rent and are paid by the rugby club with the exception of the safety officer and posibly the deputy safety officer i cant see them getting double money as a few weeks ago i know he tried to get out of paying for them when the meeting was called of at start time and bare in mind they had been there since around 5.30 and didnt finish untill after 8.00 as they still had duties to carry out regarding opening up and locking up after every body had left im not sure if they actually got paid or not but there was a agrement in the past that if a meeting got called of late on the did get a percentage of what they would normaly get i accept that the income will not be the same amount as 2 seperate meetings but the base fees are much less and didnt he say in the past it was thease costs that were crippling him the high rent and high stewards bills and last year it was the travel money he was complaining about when he went to the agm i know its highly unlikely but you may even get more away fans as you have 2 seperate clubs to pull from but at the right price newcastle on sunday is a very good example they undersytand a lot of fans will be at sheffiels and proberbly wouldnt go to the meeting sunday night so they offer entry for £5 as they realise its the best way to actually get some cash in instead of running to a almost empty stadium birmingham are not the biggest draw in the top flight but they are charging £10 also swindon i believe have had a offer on for £10 its nothing personal its just a sign of the times people just hant got the money to pay top dollar every week you go shopping the food bill is going up quite alot of people have to move money from 1 area to pay the esential bills so something has to give and for the ones with sense its the lesure side that is cut not the daily household bills keith has built really strong teams the last couple of years nobody can say he hasnt that side of things hes got right but its some of the others he needs to work on unlike some i still go everyweek i can i go for the speedway pure and simple others would rather stop going but still follow what goes on because of some of the things keith has done some have personal 1 on 1 issues with keith some just dont like his aproach

i dont see why the averages shouldnt be taken from every team fixture as all are competative fixtures individual , pairs ,fours and testamonial and also when riding for your country are different but all other team fixtures should count regardless off what competion with the exception of any fixtures where you ride against a team from a different league

its £5 cheaper than 2 meetings yes but how much rent and travel money will the workington promotion be paying out it wont be double will it1 lot of travel money to the workington riders and 1 days rent to the rugby club so costs are reduced quite a bit compared to 2 seperate meetings i think £20 would have been better price like others have said and after all even some elite league clubs have dropped entry fee to £10 to try and get the crowds in so a workington double header is £5 more expensive than 2 seperste elitte league meetings

yep i actually knew that dont know why i used edinbrugh as example maybe old age and brain fade

there are some very good teams in the ys/pct as you put itberwick and edinbrugh were very strong teams when at there best berwick especially had there season ruined by injury along with workington but workington have managed to progress a little further

it happens there is a big sponser who sponsers speedway riders and moto cross riders who has a wife and a partner and sometimes takes both along to his local speedway track at the same time he has children to both as far as im aware and 1 off his daughters is married to a ex speedway rider who is still involved with the sport at a high levelsome might know who it is but dont wish to embaress the inocent by naming any individuals

if the league is decided by a play off system then i agree the team that finished top should maybe go straight to final then the next 3 play each other home and away to see who joins them in the final
