  1. and a greedy bunch of so n so,s they will ride even when they are not fit . its all about the money and nothing else .
  2. sure josh comes in on 4.00 . he has a British/English connection . THJ is your man for info .
  3. get yer sen a byke an av a go Col, it cant be that hard, cannit ?
  4. half of those riders are also in the championship top 20 as well . so basically its a top 10 . bad signs for speedway in general !
  5. good olde fashioned back handers . who would have though such a notion would have even entered the supreme councils mind !
  6. so where in Derwent park will they be situated , car park , back of tescoes , because they cant put them in the town (rugby ) building or are they building new ones @ DP or portacabins on the new k100,000 pitch .? the new offices are to be @ the new stadium?
  7. i am on about rasser or am i getting mixed up
  8. top 6 should not be plying their trade in the championship , thats whats goosed the leagues up .
  9. aye , agreed a deal and then pulled out due to the millionaires offering him a bigger deal !
  10. expecting crowds of over 1,000 . time to support it .
  11. and when the riders who have already qualified for the GP season have to qualify the day before the GP for gate start positions . just pull the draw out of a velvet bag with hand warm balls the day/week before . save shaed loads of money , sheds loads of time . no mechs having to strip down bikes for proper racing the following day . no riders passing the cost onto the paying public and no huge stadium rent to pay . speedway is struggling big time ATM . so lets try and save it f.f.s.
  12. my take on the venue not being available is (as i have mentioned before ) that the speedway club would have been in derwent park on a licence and not a lease . with a lease you are tied to renting the ground on a regular period , say 12 months or 12 yrs etc . even if you dont use the stadium , you still have to pay the rental charges etc . go in on a licence and either you or the landlord can can terminate your use of the ground . so i see it as either, A.. the speedway did not take up the chance to get the rental stuff in place , B the speedway exercised their right to pull out at any time , or C the rugby club had wanted them out so the reds could move in . and get their playing surface nice and cosy ready for the new season . but as most of the ripping up of the track was done after the speedway folded , it will be hard to prove otherwise !
  13. a few great names in there from the 3 times 2018 champions . wuckington cornets . give your riders a chance . or as ian thomas used to say , if you dont like it , dont come .
  14. its taken a while to have some firm response from someone who has more say and is closer to the management . THJ has backed up all those comments/thoughts and wants from the die hard fans .i personally now feel that we have had a response that everyone was wanting . (in the wrong kind of way ) . but i feel this chapter is now over for all . we will all have memories from years gone by , some good and as i have mentioned before ,some bad . if workington speedway was a bottle of fine wine . now would be the year to uncork it and have a few glasses in front of the fire . remembering all the great times and enjoy the craic with fellow supporters when they meet . its going to be darker and deeper for laura and co in the coming months/years . all we can do is wish them well for the future .. i was happy to have this form of entertainment on fri/sat nights for a long time .even put money into it big time ! made loads of friends through it . riders and fellow fans from other tracks . but memories and photos are still there to gaze at . .
  15. between you n me . its already been aired . hope it all works out for you in the end .
  16. see, thats all it took . how come it was you who got shafted when you are nowt t do wid the speedway . just something i picked out of you post BTW ? , like will one half of the stadium be painted red and white or just the toilet block . anyhow , life moves on . but if it does return and i aint toast , as Arnie said , i will be back, back, Bennett
  17. any sort of excuse thats available , within reason .
  18. hhmmm , i dont know how to explain it without getting thrown off the . bsf ............ any sailors where you live ?
  19. jeezzz . the only thing that is left in the diamonds wooden barrel is the golden rivet . who is going to be brave enough to bend over and retrieve it ?
  20. GRAFTERS l.m.a.o . i know its hard work getting your yearly dose of beta and gamma radiation . i get more watching telly....... . grafters , is that a new kids bike ?
