Sheffield V Workington 18/ 04/2013@ 7.45pm


Recommended Posts

So much for the weather forecasts, about 5 miles from Owlerton & it's chucking it down! Just watching local TV forecast - it's showing persistent rain showers throughout the evening - sun now shining through break in very dark sky! Too late if you're coming from Worky, but if it's just showers might get the meeting on & completed if the showers don't last too long! Here's hoping as we will be going - rain or shine!

They need a good kick up the arse for snatching defeat .

hopefully the big mouthed tigers promotion will be a bit more sheepish at derwent park on saturday - they were quoted as saying on the comets website that they were confident of winning as derwent park as well as getting the win at home.

 

an almighty scare and nearly facial egg situation. hopefully the comets can back this up on saturday.

pissed off to say the least. How the hell can they throw away a lead like that. Something wrong at the sharp end. Very harsh words need to be said. Why Howarth ht.15? Where was Rusty or Rene?

My thoughtr entirely!!

Howarth was probably in heat 15 because he was the best rider on show for you tonight.

 

A meeting of 2 halves, a gating master class by Workington for the first half on a wet track, and a master class in racing by Sheffield in the second half.

 

The overtaking moves by Stead in heat 13 and Hall in 15 were 2 of the best I've seen in a long time. Knight is proving his worth, Haines seemed to turn things round after 2 poor rides, Wells got unlucky in heat 13, Facu was Facu, the boy is a joy to watch, Koppe needs to do something as he's just not at the races yet.

Obviously fixerman & worky boy were not at sheff tonight just sitting behind updates screen !!! Rusty had sore ribs and leg after his fall and rene probs with his seat on his bike, Sheff 47 worky 46 and the tractor 57 😡, our lads rode their socks off everyone of them and deserved more than a point but hey there won't be many teams that take that from sheff ! After heat 8 when stead spat his dummy out and coached the tractors round for the other 7 heats we were nailed on for all points, we still took a point a they only scraped it by 1 , think hoggy's predictions about sat could be way off the mark , they won't take a bloody thing from Worky , lets hope our tractor puts in as much performance as Sheffield's did tonight , put strictly come dancing to shame !!!! Man of the match , step forward the tractor man 😂😜😝

Great win. The comets must be sick at losing that. Worth the admission price to see Steady and Hall moves in heat 13 and 15 brilliant. Damien Koppe is trying hard but is a worry. Looks as though the Sheffield track is not is favourite.

tbf your tractor normally does, depending on what gates your team is off:)

Listen, if the tractor makes for racing of that excellence then surely that's a good thing for speedway fans. Richard and Simon's overtakes on opposite sides of the track were breathtaking. We wouldn't have won without Jake Knight taking points off Chris Mills. Another fine team performance.
