jenga Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 cant see a thread , so here goes. its going to be tight between both teams today. newcastle look to have the upper hand by having 5 extra heats at home due to the rain off at worky last night. but in the end speedway is the winner. comets may sneak a good result from this meeting. any thoughts .

Tsunami Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Teams I expect to be the same racing order as last nights meeting at Worky. The Comets have a 6 point lead, so I would hope that they will pull that back in the first heats, and give us a decent victory. Best hope for Worky is if they are allowed, in this friendly, to use the TR's. Should be some good racing though as a lot of Worky riders have done well in past visits. Weather this morning is beautiful with sunshine, no wind, blue sky and no threat of rain. Track will be perfect as usual, so Worky have a chance, and I am sure we are going to see a pretty competitive meeting with some silverware at the end of it. See you there. Get there early if you want your usual space. Edited March 23, 2014 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Tonight, will be the 2nd leg of this shield. Let's hope Newcastle can pull back the points, to win this trophy.

Chewbacca Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Certainly not a foregone conclusion as the Comets are well capable of scoring 43 at Brough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorj Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Think the ITT might stay in Newcastle for another season, shame we couldn't finish it off at DP last night think the 6 points could easily have been doubled, and Newcastle outgated us last night on a few occasions so up against it tonight. Heading over on the Comets supporters bus , be nice to say hello to my Tyneside friends Mr Tsunami and Mr Arson Fire (guess what AF, I still believe ) COME ON THE COMETS !!!

Lord Lucan Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Going to be an interesting match this, hoping drier conditions will help improve the Comets performance a bit, think the damp track didn't help many of ours yesterday so, gating boots on and lets see what we can achieve!!

Tsunami Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well our expected victory overall didn't materialise, but we won our leg at home, the same as Worky did at their place last night. In saying that, I think it would only be fair if we had stopped our meeting as well at 10 heats, and we would have won the Ian Thomas Throphy by 2 points. Seriously though, Worky made us work hard and never gave up, and produced a very competitive meeting. Remember, this was not a normal pay night for them, but the riders riding for minimum expenses to make their contribution to both Worky's and Newcastle's air fence funds. Nice to such such a good crowd, like last night, which was heaving inflated by the travelling Comet fans. Nice to see them back on the road like they used to do. Worky must be doing something right I think. With the cold in the track, the track was a bit tricky, but the top riders showed how it could and should be ridden, and the overtakes coming out of the forth bend were breathtaking. So congrats to those who didn't treat the occasion as a nothing friendly, but rode it like a team league meeting. Worky fans no doubt are very happy with their septet this year, and I think our septet are equally as good and I think both teams will be there to there abouts come the playoffs. I forecast a successful year ahead for both teams, injuries permitting. The riders in the second half were a young Czech rider who rode at Berwick last night, and who also can claim to be the first rider to damage a panel of our air fence, and a young MotoX rider called Jack Hall on an ex Christian bike. He also rode on Practice day last week. Thanks once again to all those people who responded to the request to help out with the sheeting. The job got done, and I would like to thank them all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good meeting in front of the biggest crowd I have seen at Brough for a long time. Barring mishap, I think both sides will be in the play offs come September.

Lord Lucan Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Reads as tho this was a very entertaining match!! Good to see a solid team effort from the Comets away from home, auger's well for the coming season, injuries aside nothing stopping either of these clubs being in the mix come October time, from what I've seen so far two very competent sides!! One trophy down now for the rest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
