A.N.Other Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM Unbelievable yet again, but the rain is scheduled between 1pm and 7pm, with it being at its very worst.....around 3-4pm !! This is now getting bizzarre ! Same forecast each Saturday for last 4 weeks ! I very much doubt this meeting will go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be careful. I can't imagine he'll be flooded with offers in Poland in a couple of years when he's no longer an U24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange situation, certainly won’t be back at Workington given what’s been said tonight at the Presentation night. Maybe he just isn’t cut out for what is involved in this sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago 8 minutes ago, StevePark said: What has been said? He’s basically been missing Comets meetings at weekends to ride in Poland, and hasn’t been paid by Tarnow. Probably stressed out by it all hence the social media post he made. And then had a lift to Poole organised by Workington for the Riband meeting, which fell through so Andrew organised another for him, and in turn Fraser rang to say stuff the lift, the presentation night and Saturdays meeting. JD then made the comment that Fraser wouldn’t ever ride for the Comets again. Maybe like Cook last year he’s more hassle than it’s worth, sounds like another case of a rider that wants everything handed to him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest here, Bowes is a bang average speedway rider, it absolutely beggars belief that he'd behave like that. I think it's symptomatic of Poland finding every youngster that shows any kind of talent and giving them a team place. Some of these young kids think they've made it and are above the UK. I can see the changes to the Polish U24 league in '26 being a big reality check for a few of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Despite the various pros and cons, some of the vile and nasty comments he has had on social media are totally unacceptable! I hope his mental state is OK. Edited 5 hours ago by SteveLyric2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the statement Fraser made on socials, I just hope he is ok and has support around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a dozen young Poles in front of him.Social Media training needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
