Recommended Posts

there was a few posts on here going on about taking all the points and comets getting nothing

i dont do facebook so it must have been on here

but hey we all know its just banter but some get upset when there wrong and others like to carry the banter on when it back fires

ย 

I hold my hands up, I genuinely could only see a witches win, but forgot to factor in the Sedgmen "can't be arsed attitude" :o

ย 

I also will admit to not ratings Comets at all at beginning of the season, I had them down for bottom two, but they keep on coming up with the goods - mainly I will say to Matt Williamson punching well above his weight! But again looks like my opinion was wrong - good luck for the season across in sunny Cumbria!

Really ...and you think Ipswich will , we spanked you good & proper last night , we aren't in the radar and we're forecast to finish with the wooden spoon so I'm chuffed to bloody bits how we are doing , and with meetings in hand over other teams , your comment could come back to bite you on the arse !!

Try that great big thing called social media .. I take it you know what it is

ย 

I'd be surprised if anyone thought the Comets would finish bottom. It was clear they had a rider capable of beating anyone, anywhere and one of the best reserves. That's usually a pretty good combination.

ย 

With Proctor getting going and Campton proving a lot of the doubters wrong, if they can get Sarjeant scoring a few points they'll certainly be a strong candidate for the play offs in what is, almost without exception, a highly competitive league.

ย 

What they really need is a few more through the gate. With an attractive, entertaining team and some pretty good racing they deserve it.

when team was announced as" building within a budget to secure the future" i was more than happy with the team i didnt expect us to win the league but also knew it was a team that if riders rode to there ability they would and are surprising a few unfortunatly the rider we needed to ride to there ability was adam roynon who has been dropped obviously adams bikes were not fast enough

obviously mason has upped his game to the shock of many away supportors thomas is coming good and ty is doing bits and pieces but i still think theres more to come from ty

the only member of the team im worried about is james sarjent but hes looking better on track just needs to learn how to gate when the tapes move rather than before they move

If the question means are the Witches the team I support then no they are not.

ย 

If you are asking if I have a dislike of Ipswich then that is also no!

Fully agree Cookie, but this is British Speedway, so the minority will always win over the majority. Once the sky deal ends and we lose more riders, a 12 team league would be feasible, but where do Newcastle, Berwick, Redcar etc end up? You know as well as I do, it will never happen.

purely as the Comets fans were saying that Witches fans were crowing about getting 4 points I was just highlighting it wasnt Witches fans...

Still coughing up at the moment, just can't afford to show it. Hence the Div 1 clubs didn't plead poverty when theyโ€‹ pulled the plug at the start of the season, and they can still afford to pay Lindgren, Doyle etc for a bit longer. That's also why they agreed to let BT show it for nothing.

I agree actually Scotsman.

ย 

Yes we will all give a bit of banter when it happens but at least it shows they are bothered.

ย 

What I dont like is the opposite when riders obviously dont give a s#!t and just give up
