I go to watch the racing. I want the Comets to win of course but it’s not as if they’re trying to get a promotion position as in football. Cup matches are different and trophies are good publicity but good racing, no serious injuries are important. Hoping Charles Wright is on form again for Redcar after his bad one.
There was an article on Connor in last weeks SS, he said winning the championship was “a good way to sign off” at Workington. He enjoyed it there and enjoyed riding in front of the Workington fans. I take it that he’ll be elsewhere.
I remarked today that he looked nervous going round the third bend. I heard later that he’d had a bad accident last season so maybe understandable. Obviously though if he wants a career in speedway he needs to. Improve
Been down to practice, track looks great and fast with great viewing from a higher level. Forecast rain didn’t happen, roll on next week, everything crossed for good weather.
Before that he’d said the referee had robbed them of a great heat 15, just watched again, wife had been out. There was some Comets fans there showing flags.
Something like “I feel that over the two legs decisions have gone against us”. Tatum wasn’t impressed and thought Stead would regret saying what he did.
