bigbird Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ha ha ha.drop Bickley.not a chance if common sense and decency has anything to do with it.yeah the lads found pts hard to come by which is understandable at this level he's riding at now but we have to stick with him and show our faith in the ability the lad has and will go on to show in bundles if we have the patience to keep him in the team for the rest of the season.

szkocjasid Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 If Bickley was a Workington asset, i'd agree with the above comments, but what's to stop him signing for another club next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you drop him? Who for? What about putting Kyle at #7 so he gets more races against fellow reserves then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you do that when they’re guarenteed to have a strong reserve as his partner, you put the strong one in the easier heats to maximise the amount of points you can get... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 While the Workington away results continue to amaze me, can I ask when is our next home meeting?? Am I right in thinking that the cut off point for the league is around 10th September, think we have 8 home league meetings to fit in before that, then at least 2 (hopefully) in KO cup, then semi final of trophy match against?, And hopefully a play off semi and final to squeeze in, that's a minimum of 10/11 home fixtures, If the weather returns to normal that's another factor to squeeze in, Not being negative I know that the bspa caused most of this, but is asking a hell of a lot to squeeze in and provided the opposition agrees, Come on comets it's coming home lets get the crowds flocking to Derwent park to see some silverware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.N.Other Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi Neil Jacko told me in the car park after our last meeting, that he was "reasonably confident" that we would be riding against Newcastle in the return leg of the KOC on Saturday 28th July. In fact Dave Hoggart also intimated this over the mic on the centre green. But up to now, there has been no public announcement that this meeting is still planned ?

On the Speedway GB site it now shows Workington at Home v Newcastle in the KOC on July 28th. In saying that it also still shows our Friday "Home" meetings v Peterborough (Aug 3rd), Newcastle (Aug 10th), and Lakeside (Aug 17th) as well, so who knows? With things as they are, would it not be better to make the match on July 28th a Championship meeting instead, or has the "Management Committee" forbid that as well?? Seriously worried that we won't get the chance to race enough Home fixtures in before the "Cut-Off" . Looks like Scunthorpe need to win all of their remaining matches to have any remote chance to qualify having lost two at Home and only getting one point on the road so far, so perhaps there may be a few more decisions to come lol! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that happening mate the league fixture is still inside the cut off point so I doubt we'll get any change out of em for that? Agreed with the fixtures tho, even if we start home meetings in August we've eight to get in and only 6 weekends max to do them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is though, that League fixture v Newcastle for August 10th has now been removed from the fixture list, as it is one of our Fridays that limit Scunthorpe and the likes of getting guests! Probably the Management Committee have a deadline in place for the KOC to even further limit the chances of the Comets getting their fixtures in by the cut-off date, so KOC it is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be deadlines for KOC matches like your local golf tournaments (1st round by mid May, QF by end July, SF by middle Sept and final by mid October. Not to hard to do considering Ipswich last season had to wait about for 2 or 3 months waiting for others to catch up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree whole-heartedly, as there are deadlines for the Championship matches to be completed. Trouble is, someone made it nigh on impossible for the Championship match deadline to be met by ripping out the heart of the home fixtures, so the "Not hard to do" becomes a "Very hard to do" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
