topaz325 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Not sure yet if Craig Cook is riding, will also need a NL guest at reserve , hope we can re group and get a win after last weeks home defeat against Scunthorpe. Workington Comets v Redcar Bears 12/08/2017 7:00pm Championship. Things in the Speedway world on a bit of a downer at the moment.....Speedway when its good can be one of the best sporting occasions to attend...but can also be just as likely to shoot its self in the foot on too many occasions too. Lets hope we have an exciting meeting like the one recently against Glasgow. Edited August 10, 2017 by topaz325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Well that was a LONG meeting, over two and a half hours for 15 heats of Speedway, some delays were obviously un avoidable but still far to long for a meeting. (Probably not as long as the match at Glasgow though!) Delays included. Blue Light fault in Heat 1 Crash in Heat 2. Tapes fault Paramedic attending to a rider Re starts Riders missing two minute warnings Rider getting warned then excluded in the same heat Sun break. Apologies if I have missed any.....back to the meeting, looking at the Redcar line up in the programme I thought they would take all the points last night but the Comets hung in and grabbed a much needed win to boost the confidence in the camp. Cook was superb only being beaten in ht 15 by Barker, team riding superbly in heats 10 and 13 to grab 5-1s on both occasions, oh and a super fast track record in heat 1! All the team rode well and chipped in with some good points, especially pleasing to see Matt Williamson getting some much needed points on the board. Hopefully James Sarjeant can cure his starting problem because its losing points money for him and the Comets. On another note the crowd numbers were very low tonight, maybe just peak holiday time, but worrying all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, think last weeks defeat had most affect the attendance, hoping it goes up after winning, some good races last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 all the delays mentioned above , these are delays that you will always get at motorsport meetings . with speed ,comes crashes . someone who i stand with kept on commenting about the crowd levels . my reply was , i dont look at the crowd , i look at the racing . i have no interest in the crowd levels . just the racing .. ii/we cant do anything about the crowd , its up to the promotion to try and drag extra fans through the door , not us . a number of things have been made with free tickets etc. , but these have always been abused by the regulars . maybe british speedway itself is killing/turning fans away with rule changes to suit their own needs (bspa/scb) take note . could have been worse , you could have been at glasgow . WHY ONLY 1 AMBULANCE ,just hade to get that in after all the grief some supporters gave us one time . redcar shooting themselves in the foot with the double exclusion . matt looking better and in amongst it . like alfie bowtell . sure it wasnt his fault in ht2 as ayres leant on him quite hard and alfie just kept on ridind his line . not a good decision by the tref . imo . what a shame we cant sign a number 6 , fed up of watching this guy continually break/jump and run last places . he needs to go to a school for gaters . aligators ! the only time he is on par with opponents in the race is 3 seconds BEFORE the tapes go up .. but not a bad meeting and a result I never expected ..

I understand where you are coming from. I've never been one to get hung up on guests, r/r or doubling up and why fans get upset trying to explain these concepts to newcomers. Concentrate on the racing. That's what people come to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
