And the dust monsters from Derwent Park seem to be getting up to mischief, with reports of a flare being thrown in the direction of the Berwick supporters.
But Workington has a culture of ignorance, thuggery and buggery, so we shouldn't be surprised.
Didn't the coach containing Glasgow supporters need a police escort to get safely out of town a few years ago?

We did indeed . July 2006 to be exact .
Danny Bird had made a rash dive inside Ritchie Hawkins entering the first bend , which resulted in a trip to A&E for Hawkins . The resulting delay saw an outbreak of nastiness breaking out on the infamous back straight . The meeting recommenced , but there was a distinct nasty atmosphere in evidence , especially as the Tigers ran out 46-44 victors with the Messiah giving a 15 point maximum masterclass to the Barbarian riders .
As we left the stadium i did have a few Worky fans come up and apologise for their less intelligent supporters , but there were a few police outside the stadium and our coach was ringed by police cars - which escorted us away down a back road past Tesco rather than go out the normal way . All very unsavoury and not what you expect at a speedway meeting .

And in 2006 at DP a fat bloke took his shirt off ready to scrap with an 18/19 year old female Bears fan just because she challenged his view that a couple of our riders were shite.

Edit: September 2006 to be exact.

I've just seen John Branney's attempt at thuggery on Look North and - as expected - he ended up looking ridiculous. I guess that had Guglielmo Franchetti decided not to just walk away in apparent bemusement, Branney would've run off screaming for his auntie to save him.
