Comets racing each other in heat 1🤔

And me, only £2.50 e/w (main money was on BZ @15/8), but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick as the saying goes 😁

Proper bowser out now

Need to go to 6pm start time, any water put down on the track has evaporated by the time the water truck comes round again. Or a stronger watering system, looks like an aerosol spray.

Think Plymouth will fancy this; Grmek will outscore Workington's reserves, and r/r again for Cook won't make what Cook would've scored.

Scott and Pijper will win this for Redcar

And not a single mention of the meeting in the local 'Times & Star' yet again 😡

Pole deliberately fell into him, conned the ref, equivalent to a dive in football

Awful, 2 heats gone and it looks like a foregone conclusion

Well done to Berwick, made Workington look like the away team for much of the time. And what an anti climax to the meeting for the supporters, if I'd known Workington were putting a reserve out to get battered against Kemp and Kildemand I wouldn't have hung around in the pouring rain.

Would bet on PK to get a maximum today (if we don't get rained off). Workington don't look to have anyone capable of beating him. Or Kemp or Jeppesen for that matter.

It's gone 3:15pm, heavy rain incoming and we still aren't underway. Don't know what the delay is as the P.A. system is unintelligible

Hopefully Bewley and the rest will compete and not just sit back and let BK and BS get on with it. Bewley currently 14/1 for the win, seems generous to me, maybe the bookies thinking along the same lines as me, i.e. he'll be keeping out of the way?

Heat 14 should've been red light

Maybe just as well, Comets dire

Yes, same for me

Seems a bit hasty, looking at the radar there's hardly enough rain incoming in the next few hours to dampen the ground.

Been the same the last few weeks, presumably at the request of the riders. It's why I'm not there today, out on the dirty beer as it's more entertaining 😁

Derwent Park was within walkable distance for a lot of people living in town, not the case with Northside where most will now be driving to get there, so I don't think a bar would be top priority.

Only just, not a very entertaining meeting by Workington standards as far as passing goes.

Track very slick again, gating at a premium again and Comets being found out again

Nice to see, presumably the club must've requested a quick detour for a mini-flypast as the smoke was switched on for the short time over the stadium.

Definitely hasn't been as much dirt on this season compared to last, presumably at the request of the riders, and what there is is quite dry on days like today despite the watering which makes good gating paramount.

Saw a photo of the track before the meeting, looked like the Somme so I didn't bother wasting my money.

Second turn incident, surely an exclusion for one of the Poole riders?
