Probably 10 days since the announcement that Northampton is the 6th team . BUT still no further details about team or organisation structure, the season has officially started 😧

Forecast rain from early afternoon clearing ? by tea time depending on how much rain falls could be touch and go if the meeting goes ahead. Will wait until late before buying the stream

Maybe by the 25th April the daylight could be enough to have a 6 o clock start time, to avoid a clash, I'm sure the reds will have a bumper crowd for a possible last match at the original borough park.

Unfortunately blame the electric company for the unfortunate clash, electricity north west are due to install/connect Northside arena to the mains but as far as I'm aware, have given no firm date to do the job before the season starts Workington speedway have to have a plan to run meetings going forward, it's no good changing times at a moments notice

Harry has been all over the press / TV talking about his horse this week. Maybe in the next few weeks he could use the same contacts to promote speedway, the sport he has been made a figure head of 🤔

Have you stopped driving your laal bus 🤔

Yes I see what it says, but imo draught beer won't work, as you have the liquid standing in pipes for what could be a couple of weeks between fixtures, this would need flushed through,at a cost / waste to the club. As you may know beer goes stale, and theirs nowt worse than stale beer 😧

Don't think draught beer will be on. Think they are still doing cans only, It's the problem of people bringing their own booze into the stadium, as said in the statement it goes against licenceing laws, and reduces any money the club could make,. Also as said in statement nearly all venues restrict taking own drinks/ food into said place

Don't know are you buying if it is ? 😄

Promoter Statement: The season is fast approaching! – Workington Comets https://share.google/DUFIOTqDZMkZddXX7 For information April home Comets fixtures to start at 3.00

But surely this fixture should have been planned, even if unofficial, so the championship could avoid the fixture. But no, looks like British speedway shoots it's self in the foot again. 3 championship fixtures planned, 1 team on a northern tour, probably to help save costs, now these fixtures will have to be rescheduled. Upsetting 6 championship teams / fans to have the British final on a Saturday. I can remember many Sunday afternoon British finals at Coventry with upto 10000 fans on the terraces, what do we get now 1500 if your lucky

So you can get home at a decent and have your cocoa before bedtime 😜

Agree with GP reserves being Rushen and cairns

Could be a tent this year if prices keep on going up 😜 Does the premier inn get an extra star for being within walking distance of Plymouth speedway 🤔

but the article from the local press is just the press release saying speedway is coming, dated 5th march it's now 11th march nearly 1 week later, no more information been released, no Facebook / social media posts made, no pre publicity to promote the venture (as far as I can see). Just seems to be Northampton been announced then radio silence

As a lot of promotion done today is via Facebook, just done a search, guess what no Northampton speedway comes up, Northampton shaleway the stock car page does not mention anything. It's now 7 weeks to the 1st meeting at Northampton and no sign of ANY promotion being done. Anyone live near Northampton and have you heard of any promotion?

Hope you've robbed a bank as it's not the cheapest of premier inns

But I think about 30-40 Comets fans would normally go to the British final, now due to a possible clash of fixtures, British speedway will miss out on the travelling fans £25-30 admission money. Riders like say Richard Lawson or Craig Cook may want to go to the British final but at the moment the championship fixture clashes

Probably the top table in British speedway are in charge, that's why nothing been announced bar a new track.

Got to feel ( a little bit 😜) for any Poole fans who were planning a mini tour to Edinburgh/ Workington in mid summer, with this new fixture many fans do not know if they can make plans to follow their team oop north

See you at worky Lisa 😜😀😂

Date announced for British final, good news it's on a Saturday night. Bad news 6 championship teams are riding the same night so either fans won't be able to go, or a mid summer fixture will have to be rearranged 🤔 . More bad news probably polish meetings so maybe unavailability of several riders 🤔.

Worky and most clubs had kids for a quid or free in school holidays, now thanks to some sponsors comets are running this all season,

Some motor sports in countries without a TV deal are shown on FIM TV yet another subscription channel
