jenga Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Though TJ and Procter were big let downs IMO i thought ty proctor had increased his average , so performed well enough through out the season . where as tj had some great meetings and some big off,s that sort pf ruined his season . but thats what speedway riders do , ride hard n fast , then get injured . anyhow , we are looking for names of riders for next year and not here to diss them . they all do a great job in the entertainment department .apart from the odd one or two ! ! !

Fromafar Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I think that's probably a reflection of your unrealistic expectations rather than their ability to be fair. I'd suggest they both performed as most people would expect across the season.Its my opinion,yours if different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comet49 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) No surprises last night, Craig said he wont be here next year, but said more than once that he wants to ride for the Comets again. Ty and Thomas both felt they should have done better, Matt repeated that he loves the track and hopes after the AGM that hes not jobless next season. Mason pledged his loyalty to the promotion if they ask him back. Steve hopes that the promoters come up with something for the good of the whole of speedway. Laura wants to keep running the club but finances are to be looked at, I feel it will be on next season, hope Im right. That we had to run for more than half the fixtures with a guest reserve because of the rules was mentioned by Steve or Jacko. Dan Bewley was there, Kyle wasnt, didnt see him anyway.

Thought Ty's reaction to his News & Star rider of the year award -- (imagine strident Aussie whinge) "Well, it's about time!" was superb.

Halifaxtiger Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think that's probably a reflection of your unrealistic expectations rather than their ability to be fair. I'd suggest they both performed as most people would expect across the season. I was disappointed with them both. True, Proctor's average was up but he was nothing like the rider of a few seasons ago. Jorgensen was down. I don't think that an expectation that both would be around or over the 8 point mark would have been unreasonable at the start of the season but they never got near it. Williamson and Campton were the big improvers, with Williamson starting to cut it in the no 4 race jacket at the end of the season. I don't blame the promotion for a wait and we'll see attitude. Gates for the last third of the season were disastrous despite a decent team and some excellent racing, and Laura simply must have as much information as possible to hand before she makes a final decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'd say Proctor's time away from the UK and his spell at Sheffield suggested that he is around a seven nowadays, his best days were a fair old while ago now. TJ has pretty much been at that level for quite a while; add in his knee injury and other knocks and its no surprise he dropped a little. Fingers crossed Workington come to the tapes in 2018.

geoff100 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Am sure there is a rule saying grand prix riders not allowed unless they qualify when in the championship and then they must stay with that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Think its been said that Masons visa is ok for next year. on what grounds as with all rules and regs in speedway its unclear dont they have to gain 7pt average to stay ? ive heard they just have to improve by certain amount but as said its unclear wonder if any of the promotion might be interested in replying On the grounds thats hes a lovely lad who tries his best.

He'd miss half the season's home matches though (unless Workington ran midweek). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 He'd miss half the season's home matches though (unless Workington ran midweek). plans were already in place to move race days to mid week . as it happens now , it looks like set mid week days could be on the cards next season . but i think 2 leagues and a gp schedule is too much for any man .

Halifaxtiger Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 On the grounds thats hes a lovely lad who tries his best. I was impressed with Campton last season. Increased his average by about a point and turned in one or two startling performances, particularly one at Sheffield. Proctor, Williamson, Campton, Bewley & Bickley and see what's left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Normally agree with u halifax but think matt has reached his level he needs to show more effort when behind ,still think we could find a way for craig sundays used to work for stoney !.bewley and bickly would be awesome .
