Put it this way it's a bit on the small side, would fit on the centre green at Northside and still have room to spare, it's the narrowest track I have been to in 55 years of watching speedway
-
If it does survive looking like 5 teams, very few top riders and play each other 3 times home and away. Got some good friends who are witches fans, and not looking forward to watching kings Lynn 6 times
-
Maybe why Dan has signed to ride in Denmark
-
But you forgot Poole fans just want this page to themselves, but are all over over pages like a rash 🤪😃
-
Etheridge has a lower average which was achieved in the main body of the team, hooky average was from reserve, so guess this is why hooky was not invited back, not a fan of etheridge if he is announced, but not my choice, will be still buying a season ticket. UTC🔵⚪
-
Comets have posted on Facebook that season tickets details coming soon. So with this and Plymouth announcing season ticket details, must mean the league set up is decided just to be officially released by them in charge higher up
-
Ok give you that 🙃 but those 2 teams have always made a team announcement. Others drip feeding names
-
The reason a team announcement is dragged out, is it usually gives publicity to the club over a few weeks. This season the make up of the league is not officially known, but seems the promotion know which direction the league is going , I was told all 7 riders are signed, BUT due to the official league set up / number of fixtures involved not known until rubber stamped at the AGM the full team may not be announced until after the AGM.
-
Batch if he does not re - sign for worky ?
-
Read what I said, it's often cheaper to fly someone from Denmark to say Bristol,than pay UK based riders to drive from say Yorkshire to Plymouth
-
Sometimes it's cheaper to fly a rider in rather than pay millage allowance to travel, and some amounts UK based riders are asking is unbelievable, a foreign rider is often cheaper. Think about it how many young riders, good or not so good want to be full time speedway riders, without having a 2nd income !!
-
That was when he rode for Poole, over riding on a crap track 🤪 a lot more settled on a decent track at worky 😁
-
Worky / Northside have been chosen to host the FIM European 125 championship in August. Maybe a minor FIM meeting, but if things go well and the bigwigs are impressed, may lead to bigger FIM meetings being held at Workington in the future ?
-
Just like speedway then 😛
-
Your in the building trade, maybe you could build something new for the stadium, won't take long as to make it fit inside the stadium, it will only take a few bricks 😁
-
Think you best take your blinkers off, it's a small ?? stadium ( could say more 😝 ) but they are having a good go to attract crowds and entertain the fans so hats off to them for doing that 👍 maybe @lewy could help them out more ££££ 😃
-
Ask @lewy he knows most things, he thinks 🙃
-
Was rumoured, thought you would know 🤪
-
Most shops were taken over after a buyout, now being renamed TG Hughes or something like that, some shops closed
-
Done UTC 😀🔵⚪

Think at one time WH Smith were wanting a lot of money to stock the magazine, don't know if it still applies now, but up in worky, speedway star is on the shelves at Morrisons. I get mine via subscription, and today for the 1st time for a while, it turned up on Thursday
-
Unfortunately think a Friday nite will fit in better for continental commitments rather than a Saturday at worky
-
It's another time zone in the far north
-
Another thread that has turned into a Poole one 🤪 but at least they are keeping tabs on who are going to beat them
-
Don't know what speedway you were watching, but Newcastle were definitely a glamour club with Tom and Joe Owen having a 11 point average and winning by big margins, even though it pains me to say this as a comet's fan. Havvy had about 4 very good seasons with the comets, latter to be team manager for various clubs then making Redcar what it is now. RIP havvy
