dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Surprised to see no thread started for this one. Wouldve thought a Worky fan may at least have wanted to stick it up us smug southerners. wink Perhaps all a bit unsure that they can still pull it off? Will the Witches win? I doubt it - even a consolation point is unlikely. Can the Witches win? Of course they can! Phoenix from the flames scenario needed but you never know! C'mon the Witches show some pride and give em a shock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Probably a lack of thread from our point of view coz we pretty much know what's going to happen and it ain't gonna likely be pretty for us I'm afraid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lucan Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Par for the course now I'm afraid guy's, very little interest from Comets "fans" on here thesedays, getting a bit dull?? Forum been very slow lately for me in loading up any pages etc and I've given up waiting more times than enough!! As for tonight's meeting, weather is set fair so track should be perfect and looking forward to what should be a very good match up. You Ipswich guy's do yourselves a disservice, do you not remember that the League fixture came off the back of a sixty point tonking here and you promptly waltzed off with 3pts which could have been four!! It is more than possible for you to get a result here, although we will be doing our utmost to make sure that doesn't happen, so don't be too downhearted, you do have form here!! As for Comets, well we deffo need the full house to keep the pressure on E,boro and we do seem to be in the right frame of mind to do the job so I'm looking at a relatively comfortable 50-40 result and hope that Ippo will do us a big favour and down the Monarchs at Foxhall next week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 maybe the lack of an early thread being started by a Workington fan is something to do with the blasting we got from an ippo fan on the updates site... up to date heat by heat results are available on the OFFICIAL WORKINGTON SITE. typed in capitals because the southern softies are a bit thick now and then.. ippo to squeeze a point out of this meeting. remember ..

Baldyman Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Although we won there earlier in the year which I watched, the track was really slick and we just gated and stayed infront, much the same as what the comets done to us on Thursday. The way our team is set up at the moment I wouldn't be surprised to see a 30 point loss, but I shall try and stay positive even though I don't think we have a cat in hells chance.

Jenga, if there was a problem, you really should drop me a private message to let me know and I can always see what can be done to ensure it doesn't happen again in future....I am quite approachable really and I do so hate people getting antsy or rude with others, especially on my site. I do wish we could get over this rivalry or competition in regards to meeting updates, sites working together or helping each other can only benefit the fans.

Baldyman Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 So someone doesn't like what was said obviously because it was offensive, but someone can call people thick, sounds like double standards to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Taxi for morten. Well done Ritchie, great to see a bit of fight from one of our riders. Also well done to the comets, good luck in the finals. Edited September 28, 2013 by Baldyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Taxi for morten. Yes I have to admit my patience with Risager has finally run out. He should be a decent rider at this level, but he continues to generally disappoint with a few good moments here and there. Well done to the Comets.

Bash Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Looks like you Comets have to rely on us to get a result against Edinburgh at Ipswich Thursday. I wouldn't hold your breath as they are meaningless meetings for Ipswich now as they can't qualify. Also if we don't win the league cup tomorrow they will be even more deflated. Time for Morten to say goodbye to Ipswich as I wouldn't have him in the team next season. We were doing fine until he caused a rift in the camp and forced them to put him at five because he thought he was "Billy Big Balls". The same fate should fall on him as happened with Dakota North last season, don't come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Taxi for morten. To be honest, Barker wasn't much better, he should be scoring more than that. Cracking meeting and a superb advert for the play off system Gate up about 20% (first time I have seen cars parked on the grass outside Tesco for years) some decent racing and a knife edge finish. Fingers crossed for Tungate, the crash was truly awful. Two other things : I thought the new announcer was a bit of a tool last time but he did a very good job tonight. Poor refereeing performance. Whether you agree with riders anticipating the start or not, there has to be consistency. He allowed Lawson, Lanham & Harrison to get away with them then stopped heat 15 for the same reason.

Baldyman Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Yes Barker should be scoring more, and often does in the elite league, which is strange, but at least he entertains, morten does nothing, talks the talk, but very rarely delivers, and doesn't exactly entertain either. Management have to take blame for leaving him at 5 also, they should have moved him to 2 ages ago, would it have made a difference, yes I believe it would have. Let's hope he we don't lose the cup tomorrow too. Edited September 28, 2013 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Well done Worky to dispatch the Group favourites Cannot envisage Monarchs taking four points off Ipswich as apart from Cookie, we are poor at Foxhall Heath and unlikely to get within six points there. With the October Green Sheets taking effect, Max Fricke moves into main body and Derek Sneddon drops to reserve which will restrict Edinburgh's scoring options. On the other hand, Witches can now replace Ellis with a PL guest and together with the in-form Hawkins as the other reserve, expect this to be decisively in favour of Ipswich at home.

CardinalSin Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 To be honest, Barker wasn't much better, he should be scoring more than that. Yes he should, and he does for Birmingham lately in a tougher league which shouldn't happen and is quite frustrating. I also think it's been clear this season that Foxhall isn't a favourite of Barker as he's generally failed to get to grips with it on a consistent basis. He's had his moments at Foxhall, but they've generally been against mediocre opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemoc Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Fantastic meeting tonight some great racing, and Ipswich fans don't be too harsh on your lads they pushed us hard, Hawkins was without doubt the outstanding rider for the witches. As for us the whole team pulled together never seen the lads so animated and up for it. Ht 15 was a classic it was like going back to 1999 with the entire crowd on their feet as Rich and Rene took the 5-1 to take all 3 points. All I can say now is good luck to Ipswich on Thursday you will have every Comets fan shouting you on Edited September 28, 2013 by stemoc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Fantastic meeting which had everything. Firstly I really hope Tungate is ok because that was a very nasty crash. The speed he went into the fence was frightening and smashed two boards and a post. Passing close racing tight score brilliant heat 15. That's what speedway is all about and great to see a big crowd brilliant atmohere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 So near and yet so far - we seem to have gone off the boil just at the wrong time. Tonights score was as good as I expected in the circumstances. Well done to Ritchie for a great performance to at least keep us in it until close to the bitter end. Well done Worky - well deserved table toppers at this point. I think most Witches fans will hope we can do you a favour - we dislike you a little bit less than the Monarchs! wink Last but not least fingers crossed for Rohan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
