Workington v Redcar 10/05/25 3pm BSN series

[topaz325]

Another tough meeting this Saturday afternoon for the Comets against a Bears side boasting a strong top four of Wright, Riss, King and Edwards.

The Comets will need to be on top form to beat the Redcar side who are one of the favorites this season to make the top four play offs.

The weather is still looking good for this weekend so hopefully some Redcar fans will make the journey over from the East to watch this meeting.

Unfortunately with the very good weather, it's harder for track preparation, needs a lot of water to produce the grip and keep the dust down, last Saturday imo very little grip and a little bit of dust, at Redcar the nite before no dust, but no grip at all, can see this weekend being the same.. come on comets we can do this UTC

Just seen on social media that comets TV is to be launched at this meeting. Is this a good thing or a bad thing ?? IMO it may stop families/ groups coming to pay £x at Northside but can pay say £14 and several people will sit at home watching the stream, therefore the club loses a lot of admission money. Any more thoughts on this

They can just stop doing it if it affects the gate too much. Good on them for testing it and see how it does.

Well as an away supporter who wasn’t going to make the trip, the club will be getting revenue from me if I buy the stream.

Lots of tracks are doing it these days so I assume it’s a benefit to the clubs rather than having a negative impact.

Surely you just put a block on purchases within a certain distance of the stadium.

Not sure if good or bad thing streaming.Clubs will not release  viewing figures.Im surprised they make the steam so cheap.As I travel fair distance to home matches any dodgy weather I just stream the match.Overall streaming save me a lot of money though ,but at least the Club get some income from me.
