Badge Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Couple of things, Sneddon ......7 day rule. Also in heat 10 Ipswich had nominated a rider to take a tactical ride, thought they weren't allowed in KO Cup, there again I'm sure Jacko would know. Another frustrating night, bloomi' weather! It's the league cup!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Rain dance coupled with Witches magicing ( made up word ) up some dodgy weather saved the day ! Would much rather take Worky on with a full team any day but will have to wait and see what occurs with any decisions that are made on monday .

Wild Man Vic Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 If we had reached 15 heats I'm sure Worky would have won by a mile as they had a stronger finish in heats 13 and 15.

scaramanga Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 didnt look like workington wanted to go through in both meetings why in the intervel between the 2 match's was the blade not used but then used inbetween heats in the 2nd was this to delay the meeting untill the rain came Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet10 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Seves them right if they gotta re run it and it costs a fortune, our own fault tonight there was no reason for such a large interval and all the grading afterwards. And we wonder why people get pissed off! Â Could not agree any more in 1st meeting no track grading then 2 in 8 heats, long delay in break, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady s Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Re the gap between the double header last night .first the Edinburg team had to get there bikes out of the pits and the witches get there's in and both teams had to get there tyres on comets having to put new back tyres on .and all of had to be checked by the pits Marshall ( I believe) and at the end of the night it's the ref who makes the final decision if the meeting is safe to run or not.at the end (well to me any way is the riders safety comes first) . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the most stupid choice of all choices to decide who goes through......of course that probably makes it most likely!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 That would be the most stupid choice of all choices to decide who goes through......of course that probably makes it most likely!! its a pritty fair 1 when you think about it but i would say the meeting would have to run to ht 12 to be classed a resultif 1 meeting goes the full distance then the other only gets to heat 12 the team with 15 heats at home has a home advantage so in future aggregate score meetings maybe it should worked out on the same amount of heats but in this case i would expect ipswich to progress to the final with no protest from the workington management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEITH M Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 If this is the way forward for speedway the sport will become more of a laughing stock to outsiders. Also If results are to be awarded by the weather I can see delaying tactics coming into play by the side ahead if the weather starts to look dodgy. On the other side will love to know how Workington can fit a possible 5 home meetings into 2 weeks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Were the rugby team at home yesterday?? Seems daft starting a double header only 30mins before the normal start time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Worky should go through on the Duckworth-Lewis system - but whether they want to is another question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm sure whatever prehistoric rule the powers that be dig up or invent will no doubt coincide with what Worky want out of it ! Â It's been a nothing going right season for the Witches from the Anglian cup opener against Rye back in March so why would now be any different ?
