Nothing new is it,kids go free at most tracks,no wonder they had poor crowds previously if they were charging for kids!

Worky and most clubs had kids for a quid or free in school holidays, now thanks to some sponsors comets are running this all season,

Must be draught beer available this year then if theyre abolishing cans and bottles, that'll be nice 

Don't think draught beer will be on. Think they are still doing cans only, It's the problem of people bringing their own booze into the stadium, as said in the statement it goes against licenceing laws, and reduces any money the club could make,. Also as said in statement nearly all venues restrict taking own drinks/ food into said place

Quoting from the Comets statement..

"..and goes against the agreement to abolish cans and bottles within the arena —"

Yes I see what it says, but imo draught beer won't work, as you have the liquid standing in pipes for what could be a couple of weeks between fixtures, this would need flushed through,at a cost / waste to the club. As you may know beer goes stale, and theirs nowt worse than stale beer 😧

25th April is a bad date to run at 3pm start time with both Workington Reds and Carlisle United having their last league games of the season that day to. Could also be reds last ever game at Bough Park.

On the upside, the opposition will be the bonny, bouncing Bandits of Berwick!

Unfortunately blame the electric company for the unfortunate clash,  electricity north west  are due to install/connect Northside arena to the mains but as far as I'm aware, have given no firm date to do the job before the season starts 

Workington speedway have to have a plan to run meetings going forward, it's no good changing times at a moments notice

Totally agree the Comets have to plan ahead with there fixtures and start times but just a quick check at what else is on flags this up, and there are a fair few Comets fans that also watch the Reds or Carlisle so will have an effect on there crowd.

Not sure if it's the same stewards that also do the Reds because if it is there last ever game at Bourgh Park could be a big crowd.

Maybe by the 25th April the daylight could be enough to have a 6 o clock start time, to avoid a clash, I'm sure the reds will have a bumper crowd for a possible last match at the original borough park.
