Workington Vs Glasgow (pl) 10/09/16

[Marksman]

Would you expect anything else? Wells had 3 jump starts in the meeting? No wonder the Glasgow fans wanted him out of heat 15 after he had jumped it twice in the one race, if he didn't get away with any jumps he would be a 5 point rider and that's the truth

Nonsense, he's just the fastest trapper in the PL. 3 jump starts tonight? they were all perfectly good starts from sitting directly in front of the tapes.

5 point average you obviously don't see that he scores double figures pretty much everywhere he goes.

[Gazc]

Anyone heading back up from Workington and can see this been a fatal traffic accident on the M74 at Bellshil just after the raith we are stuck in it literally just were it happened.

Traffic at a standstill if you can find an alternative route as motorway closed north and southbound.

Only going from the 'nonsense' that is on the Updates site from the Workington fan, scores doubles figures pretty much everywhere he goes yet is on a 7.84 average hmm, the thing is he doesn't make perfectly good starts he's just a genuine gating tart, I would say the same about Jorgensen but he can still pass if he misses the gate where as I wouldn't have much hope in Wells from the back. If his gates was genuine he would be an EL rider minimum not a premier league one but a typical Wells home PL score is eg 31312 or 13320 and not something like 23332 or 33223

Oh god, not good to hear, hope you get home safely Glasgow fans, hate the roads across there, absolute nightmare some of them are

Looks like we will be here a while crash scene 100 yds in front off us and its carnage car crossed central reservation onto our side we have only heard off 1 fatality from the police but we are going to be here a while so if you can avoid it before you get anywhere near the Raith i would.

[Icicle]

Wonderful irony! Just after (at last) getting away points then a (first) home loss.!

 

 

Hope both getting home & carnage on road not too stressful or horrible,

Very disappointing performance from the Comets especially after the win last night, certainly didn't expect that kind of a loss?

 

Had a look thru the updates and it looks pretty much the one sided affair the score would suggest, some below average scoring from several Comets riders but, in all honesty, Glasgow just appear to have been the better side all round and deserved the win?

 

I suppose that curtails any lingering hope of squeezing into the play offs that we may have had but, to be fair, we haven't ridden well enough away from home to be anywhere near dangerous to anyone left in it so, probably a good thing to be despatched good and proper now rather than lingering about hoping?

 

Certainly not looking forward to the LC Semi after this unless we are prepared to give it the last hurrah, nothing else to play for, all guns blazing attitude that it's going to take to shift not just Glasgow but Sheff/Somerset as well, going to be a very tough ask now, confidence will be down but, you always have to hope otherwise, what's the point of it all?

 

It's a shame I couldn't make this match to judge the quality of Glasgow myself but looking at the score I think pretty safe to say they'll be up there with a big say in anything they have to compete in, look a very solid and capable side, maybe a slight question mark on some away tracks but, when needs must I wouldn't write them off anywhere, best of luck fella's!!

 

Stay safe people, that sounds like a bad accident up there!!

What are you even on about here? Being a good gater is all part of being successful, most sides would bite your hand off for that, it's hard enough as it is to pass on some of the tracks in British speedway.

Also you can't really compare Jorgensen to Wells, he's much more consistent and although his rolling average dropped a far bit to 7.84 last month it's still a full point more than Jorgensen.

Wells last 3 home PL scores before tonight were 23233, 33323 and 23223.

Texter comes across as a bit of a wally with his ad nauseum comments about Bach.

 

Well without the 'wally', there would have been no updates on the site.....ok we are all guilty of going on at times (me most def included) but please do remember that us 'wallies' give up our time willingly and with no recompense to bring our 'nonsense' to others so that they can be kept informed if not able to make it to a meeting.

Well said Sue,I could of not put it better myself.All the updaters& texters do a good job& yes some are different but at least there is the updates which many would be lost without them& keeps you at least informed with heat details etc.Keep up the good work.

[Bagpuss]

Indeed, I'm one of those 'wallies' too on the odd occasion that I go to Lynn and you are in a pickle (Bagpuss). However criticising a particular rider in four of his five heats is a bit much and opens that person up to comment. We all appreciate what texters do for us all but I think there is a responsibility to do it in a mature, sensible and almost professional manner. We've all done it in the heat of the moment but this was a bit much.

I agree (I was in the stand too).

 

I am strongly against taking advantage at the start but I have never seen Wells move yet - he simply drops the clutch at precisely the right moment. I really don't see what is wrong with that.

 

Another entertaining meeting at Derwent Park with the score not giving a true impression of the quality of the racing and in front of the biggest crowd I have seen there for a long time.

 

Workington were disappointing especially given the motivation they had to win but Glasgow are a very good side with Rene Bach in the form that he was.

 

Definitely coming back again to watch some more of that

i personally dont mind the one sided stuff sometimes . i have a genuine feeling for anyone who gives up their time tr a speedway meeting to do a load of txt,ing , while at the same time trying to get into the swing of the meeting and the craic with those around . they dont deserve the feedback some of them get .

 

so if its F.T.G. all the time you want, keep moaning.

 

all txt,ers and up daters do a fantastic job for us fans not there . some even get a cup of tea now and again .

 

if this meeting had been at the start of the season, we would have forgotten about it and there would be no moaning .

 

as it happens its come at a crucial time in our efforts to get into the top 6 places . whats up next ? oh its somerset and then those beatable tigers again .

 

 

we have had a good season , so lets appreciate the riders/tex,ters efforts .

 

without these people we would be waiting for a friend who was at the meeting to fill us in on the meetings ...

 

long may it continue

 

tigers were good , but i feel its somersets to lose .

I think you have to bear in mind its a free service with someone going (slightly or, in Sue's case, massively) out of their way to provide it.

 

There's no responsibility and, if there was, there probably wouldn't be updates at all.

[tyretrax]

So that makes Ricky a gating tart in some peoples eyes, not mine. Gating is part of the job, so is good luck, but some refs just don't get it.

[allthegearbutnaeidea]

Well Ricky has been talking on twitter about his 3 jump starts so...

[SharpenRake]

i think the big travelling away support will only muster about 25 or so supporters .. the other 25 will be blue and white .... gaps starting to appear in photos of cash field stands etc . still more than us tho . but will they be able to remember their away defeat .????? (drunk in charge of a biro)! lol. loads of lolly ..

 

Jenga hope you enjoyed it not bad for just 25 fans

There might be 26 at the semi final

[jenga]

aye , but the other 25 were still blue and white .

 

we always welcome away fans at worky. thanks for your money and input into the meeting . but you still got a free program . ... our 25 fans did their bit and stayed sober .

 

see you in 2 weeks time . bring more followers , we need the cash lol.

[kevcfc]

Thanks for the support ;-)

Having read back through my texts, spoken to a few folk and read comments on the odd forum, I'm happy to announce that I'm quite comfortable with my views on last nights proceedings, and certainly not alone in them. I also have a reasonably thick skin (immeasurably more so than some riders, it seems....) and wouldn't dream of tempering my opinions for fear of upsetting someone or, God forbid, being called a name :-)

I had to go back and read those comments on the updates site after looking thru some of these posts just to find out what all the fuss was about?

 

Didn't see anything offensive, abusive or critical for that matter just a bit repetitive of the same thing, kinda like watching DAVE!!

 

Having watched Rene Bach deteriorate over his last couple of seasons with us to the point of being happy just to achieve his average while riding at DP it was almost inevitable that coming back to Britain to ride after saying he wasn't and ending up in the PL again, our paths would cross at some point, last night was that occassion, and a 14pt haul riding like we knew he could was always a possibility?

 

It's that feeling of disappointment that Rene didn't put that sort of effort in while wearing a Comets bib that's coming across to me in those quotes, it's the texters opinion and he's probably not alone in thinking them but, what can you do, these things happen and when you lose badly at home as a result well, that just exacerbates the situation?

Fair enough Chris, just thought it was a little over the top and unnecessary. Just my point of view that I feel responsible to text in a non whinging manner when I do it.
