A rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd numbers have been concerning in recent weeks, I feared this when I was up there a few weeks back and 3 away matches in a week without a home match to raise some revenue may be a factor, whatever the issue I hope it sorted Edited June 27 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 𝗕𝗦𝗣 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧: 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗪𝗔𝗬 Within the last 48 hours the Directors of British Speedway Promoters Ltd have become aware of administrative issues that must be resolved before Workington Speedway can compete again. A seven-day suspension of membership has been imposed on Workington Speedway to give them time to overcome these issues. Said BSP Chairman, Rob Godfrey: “We are happy with the progress being made by the Club in sorting these issues and I anticipate that there will be a speedy resumption to racing at Workington.” The suspension does mean that Workington’s matches at Berwick on June 28, Oxford on July 2 and Redcar on July 4 will be postponed.

Woke23 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Very concerning. I fear speedway will be no more at northside soon. We should've been allowed to stay at NDL level for another season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 It was good while it lasted. Great track and facilities but hardly any home meeting then gaps of 2 and 3 week just aint going to work, people quite simpley find other things to do. One big league is the only way forward, unfortunately that looks like it will be without the comets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Is it a case that they need some home meetings to make some money before fulfilling any further away fixtures? Crowds across the country aren't helped by the gaps in the fixture list. People get out of the habit of going and find other things to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 (edited) if its a visa issue then surely it should only affect the rider or riders not the clubs license and visas should be passed before season but the wording of statement does point to administrative issues could be money could be paperwork we may never find out Edited June 27 by scaramanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
