strangly enough edinbrugh dont seam to have 4 week gaps with no speedway -
denham still goes almost every week for all he had a part to play in loosing fans keith is still a big speedway fan i think both keith and laura have been the right people to buy workington comets at the right time but they were not the right people to run it keith was/is too power crazy and laura has the wrong people around her from some stories im told and not just around speedway as for tonight mason guesting aggain for ipswich 5+1 riding at no.3

bang on the mark there all the promises that were made regarding we wont shut you out and well listern and learn and keep you informed were stuck too wernt they oh sorry no they wernt personaly my view is workington is a great place to watch speedway weve had some decent teams and at times promotors have tried hard the bad side is some of the promotoes will go all out regardless of right or wrong to prove they are in charge its all a supply and demand thing it dosnt matter how much you want to do things your way if thoose who are paying dont agree you wont have a customer base its like marmite sandwichs 1 person might love them but theres no way you will make a living by opening a shop that only sell marmite you have to give the customers something there reasnobly happy with or they wont come back the only real difference is when denham took over he lost about 200 straight away by sacking some staff and banning others he didnt want in and there friends and family went with them thats another thing you have to considor sometimes 1 person going or stopping to go can also take another 2 or 3 with them if there a influential type of person

both mason and james out tonight for other teams strange that mason scored 10+1 for ipswich at no.3 and james once again scores a impressive 10+1 for glasgow with 2 heat wins workingtons season could have been mutch better if james had decided to ride like he does for glasgow and the comets management had done what the fans asked and switched mason and matt around

Sheffield V Glasgow Po Semi-final 21 Sep
scaramanga replied to SharpenRake's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
but guest bookings dont count for his average do they also i think james has realised not only the workington fans but some away fans and atleast 1 ref has noticed what he was doing publicity has got to him and he may now have decided to show what he can do its a bit strange that in the last week hes scored probably more in 2 guest bookings for glasgow than he has in 3 months for workington and the other is wanted out by the glasgow fans -
why ive seen nothing from him that sugests hes a long term prospect natural talent yes of coarse he has that but dedication loyalty and maturaty not seen any of that

article on local papers website today in which james is apparantly apologising for his actions -
well no news on the forums from comet/comercial dan and no replys to pm's there is a article on news and star website no jorgonson saturday so ty is at no.5 mason moves to no.3 and r/r at no.2 hopefully for what its worth now the season is dead mason will prove he is ok at 3 or 4 and if thomas returns before end of season matt will move to no.2 and keep mason at 3 or 4 something that should of happened as soon as matt mooved out of reserve berth still no news on why the unoffical forum is down but some are saying its been closed to stop the negativity and the management arnt happy at the fans responce as most are saying the same things also theres a story from james if its from him personally and truth full or managemeng speal is something well never know but he has made a appology apparantly for his actions dont think hell ever undo the damage hes done but he can ride his socks off for the rest of the season to try make up for it

like the quote but jengas not the type of person most on thease forums think he is the team averages dictate where you ride i agree liam carr isnt a bad rider and is really only a upcoming reserve but if he has a average that is above 2 others and not really good enough to ride in the body of the team as they call it then thats poor team building -

things are different thease days speedway had been lost to the town for a good few years when it came back in 1999 stoney was a big star at the time and crowds were very good stoney was is still a party man and the drinkers looved to buy and have a drink with carl times are also different no speedway is more expensive to get in and the cost of living is a lot higher and harder to make ends meet also lots of other things to entertain rather than speedway so a speedway start is not such a big thing around here nowadays nice words from a fan away from workington some are backing us at the moment but others are using our low/bad period and the james sajent affair to really kick us while were down and twist the knife -

there was no rider 13 out on the bike saturday either maybe he had a blow out rather than going elsewhere -

i agree weve had some really good racing this year and i backed the promotion big time early in season but as things were going bad they have dug deep and refused to listen to what the fans wanted also entertainment is more than just the 15 1 minute races its a overall product the promotion feel they are better than the fans and the fans dont deserve any info passed onto them thats my biggest gripe the promotion are having a gow at the fans any chance they get they even had a go at the fans who went to belle vue saturday for the riders championship i understand they want and need as many through the gates as they can get but to have a go at someone for choosing to spend there money else where well thats just below the belt maybe steve whitehead should start spennding his own money on workington speedway rather than fancy cars and holidays and women as for myself I and only myself decides where i spend my hard earned money no promotor of a sport or buisness has the right to tell me where my money goes and i decided to go to workington saturday even though i had 2 offers to travel with others to manchester -

Dont blame the fans trees. You need a product to support if the people in command don't provide a entertaining product then you can't blame the fans. -

It's not about not liking 1 rider It's about 1 rider being so obviously bad for the team and the management burying there head in the sand and refusing to deal with the problems. Saturday he was going really early true or not I've been told it was commented on from the box he was going as soon as the start Marshall walked away and they were fully under orders -

well just read the posts of away fans that are also saying what the comets fans are saying its obvious what sarj is doing and the promotion would rather turn on the paying fans than sarj i can name atleast 10 people who said they wouldnt be back aslong as sarj was there and id say im not 1 who knows a lot from speedway by there names if i know 10 out of the few i know whogo or went to speedway how many do the ones in the clicks know im not saying its the only reason but its the final straw of the season 1 team change all season and for the worse and absolutely no change in rider order apart from forced by a reserve mooving up and the average fiddler mooving to reserve there are more issues yes but theres always a final straw -

i agree mason really stood up last night and gave his all which is another point in switching him and matt around in the riding order but hey us fans only watch from the outside were not the ones looking for a reason to pull the plug -

id say your right about heat 2 james was unlucky in that 1 as max clegg mooved first and also jumped his 2nd ride but wasnt pulled back really feel for laura as shes put a lot of money into speedway but unfortunatly she is surounded by people who are not good for workington speedway right or wrong id say theres a few that need to move on if speedway at workington has a future and to think we had 1 of the biggest crowds sometime back with 1500+ for a long time how long do riders get to pay fines hopefully he wont pay and gets banned -

weve been saying this for weeks its so obvious what hes doing its in the best interests of both workington comets and british speedway to get rid of him workington speedway is almost dead and james sarjent is a big part of it the promotion/management must take a lot of the blame but this guy is responcible for for a good few fans not going anymore and i know that for a fact also tonight they switched ty to 5 and used ulrich as a guest for jorgonson at 3 the change in rider order is 2 and 4 but yet again the promotion/management wont give the loyall fans that are left what they are asking for its with a very heavy heart that i say it looks like speedway in cumbria is in its last few weeks
