These may of course have been disposed of/ removed between the date of the last accounts (31/07/22) and striking off! Why would he do that when he owns them all. Everything you see at the GT Tyres Arena is the result of one mans vision and his own money. The true personal financial cost to himself has to be a multiple of 6 figures as are the number of hours of physical hands on labour he has invested. Many people wonder why in the current speedway climate would anyone do that and that is a very good question. The answer is simple he loves Speedway. He also takes pride in what he does because that is who he is. He may well tell you himself that paperwork is not his forte but he has taken remedial actioned to make sure this shortcoming does not repeat itself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the bspa work or don't work, imo don't hold your breath, but fingers crossed for a positive outcome. Would think someone would have to know something today, in order to get things in place, medical cover, riders, programmes etc for a meeting on Saturday.

No it isn't. Birmingham cancelled sponsorship when they released him, his visa with Birmingham expired 60 days after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piston197 Posted July 9, 2025 Report Share Posted July 9, 2025 Looks promising ? old firm wound up due to not filing with companies house, new firm started should see that hurdle overcome, just got to hope that any rider that the previous admin held Visa rights for, can be transferred as quickly to the new company, looks like only one rider is subject to this problem, even if the Visa issue is not sorted, it is beginning to look like Worky can be back, with possible R/R or guest ( if allowed ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mgas Posted July 9, 2025 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2025 (edited) Workington isn’t my team and I don’t particularly care what the issues are. I am however very pleased to see positive signs with the new company being formed and report of bikes being heard on track. I can’t honestly believe any true speedway fan would want a club to go under, even if it’s for no other reason than it’s one less home meeting for the other championship clubs. Hopefully this is a sign things are being resolved and normal service can resume promptly. I look forward to Workington’s visit to Berwick.

Bald Bloke Posted July 9, 2025 Report Share Posted July 9, 2025 (edited) I don't know about all of this legal stuff, or care tbh. But really glad it's been sorted out. We don't need to lose any club. Especially after all the recent money and effort that has been put in to the new track etc. Edited July 9, 2025 by Bald Bloke Can't spell 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
