Lord Lucan Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Easy....we don't need sour grapes just because Britain's two best prospects might dare not ride for the money bags of British speedway an instead fancy representing there local club Sorry pal but you've lost me here, where are these sour grapes anywhere relative to my post? In a jocular fashion, (hence the smiley) considering the doubt around the Comets future I merely stated that it would be quite previous to pledge yourself to a club that may not be here next year, what's wrong with pointing out that little foible? I would like to be proved wrong on that but, I think that is for the winter to decide, not right now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll all have to wait till after the promoter's conference to see where we all stand as regards next season . Workington have been one of the stalwarts of the second tier for many a season , long may they continue to be so . Whatever malaise has infected speedway at Workington , the hope is that it can be eradicated and the club grows stronger again . 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Think we'll all have to wait till after the promoter's conference to see where we all stand as regards next season . Workington have been one of the stalwarts of the second tier for many a season , long may they continue to be so . Whatever malaise has infected speedway at Workington , the hope is that it can be eradicated and the club grows stronger again . Whilst i echo all your sentiments the simple truth is that if the crowds arent coming on a regular bases then the Workington promotion can`t support a failing business for ever and I know Laura Morgan has made enough sacrifices already to keep the Comets on track. Thing is there will be a number of clubs in roughly the same position as Workington, I hope all will come to the tapes for 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think you're barking up the wrong tree there Mr Justere.. Surprise result against the Possil Playboys,but fair play to the Comets.Lawson's really not much cop in the pressure heats again is he lol? I attended the Comets v Scunny match in August and was really alarmed by the lack of a crowd..i thought the track was better than it's ever been and the racing was good but compared to several visits in 1999 and early 00s the crowd was shocking compared to that Really hope that the Comets come to the tapes next season Unlike Gazc, totally disagree about your snide quip about Lawson. Firstly if he hadn't beaten Cook in the fastest time by an opposition rider in heat 1 and won his next two despite being on Aaron's bike in one of them there wouldn't have been a 'pressure situation'. Secondly he was on Ryan macdonalds bike in his forth for goodness sake. Well done Ryan for helping out. So Mr Young away and think of other excuses for the monarchs bottling it at home last Friday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 One of Richards clutch bearing had disintegrated at the start line hence he was on arrons and we though we got it fixed but when he jumped on it to go out for ht 13 with 30 secs to go it just did not feel right so jumped on Ryan's which the gearing was not fast enough on the straights but the rest of the riders sorted it for ht 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac101 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 He has 2 bikes but as I said he thought he had it fixed and there was not just not enough time to warm up his spare bike and he used Ryan's bike because it was one of his engines that ryan just bought off him and the same frame set up but just had the wrong sprocket on but got it sorted for ht 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenR195 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Most riders just use the 2nd bike for show, plus engines are setup for different tracks so his number 1 engine will be setup to get round the fast tracks like Workington, Glasgow, redcar and so in whereas his 2nd engine would be setup for Newcastle, Edinburgh and Ipswich, so jumping on someone elses bike could be better than jumping on your own 2nd bike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) a good mechanic will always know if he has fixed the problem , never thinks he has fixed the problem . 2nd bike should have been warmed up anyhow! this was written by a proper mechanic .

cyclone Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Workington next year see how many I get right Cook, Bewley ,Proctor,Sarjeant Jorgensen and Bickley all NO, As you seem keen to predict another's team's non starters for 2018, how about telling us your predictions for your beloved Glasgow, next Season. Given that you always try to give the impression that you are "in the know" , how about predicting whether Lawson, Worrall, Bewley, Perry & Summers will be at Ashfield, or not, in 2018 for starters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 He'll not double up and do the GPs that would be daft needs to get teams places abroad if he wants to be competitive at elite level.Is he good enough to hold down places abroad a poor meeting in some clubs and you are out on your ar#e,signing on fee would have to be decent.
