Workington 2018 .


Recommended Posts

just shows how wrong people in speedway can be

how many wrote this team off pre season inclueding some comets fans

into 2 finals so far and play off semi final 

and the team is sitting on a average off 42.79

very close to this years limit of 42.50    possibly could sign the full team again next year and bickley is starting to show he is capable of doing the buisness

In a perfect world lakeside could come next Friday and stop us all having weekend free of speedway.

Yeah, it would, but being as next Sat/Sun is their POSF v Peterborough I would think preperation for that will be more important than an outstanding league fixture? :)

Correct and rightly so

They also deem getting these play off meetings completed more important than a Mickey Mouse challenge match. (under the guise of a Scottish Cup). Worky will be able to take the morale high ground over fixtures in the next few weeks as due to the commitments of other sides Jacko will have difficulty fitting in all of these required fixtures.

Here's a daft idea! could the the BSPA not have made more than one deadline. The cut off for the league season was extended by one week to allow a couple of teams to complete their fixtures, however once this cut off date was reached and the protagonists for the play offs known all they needed to do was say from this cut off date you have 14 Days to arrange and complete the semi final and once those meetings are resolved another 14 days to arrange and complete the final. Everything done in a 4 week period.

How hard can that be?

Just for Information

It's looking like a busy month for the Comets

This weekend 5th/7th October No Fixtures at present primarily due to the Internationally Famed Scottish Cup Final
(all that moaning about red hot summers and not putting in important fixtures)
(because the Comets are just out and out naughty! Doh!)
(oh and the importance of said "Scottish Cup" so Glasgow can at least guarantee a "pot to pish in")
(come on the Monarchs)(never thought I would here myself say that)(however just for Dotty)

Next Weekend 12th /14th October
Glasgow Twisters vs Comets; Ashfield Friday 12th October 2018 Play Off Semi Final 1st Leg
Comets vs Twisters; Derwent Park Saturday 13th October 2018 Play Off Semi Final 2nd Leg
Hammers vs Comets;  Rye House Stadium Sunday 14th October Shield Final 1st Leg

Following Weekend 19th /21st October (Bit more sketchy unfortunately)  
Comets vs Hammers Derwent Park (either Saturday or Sunday)(Double Header)
Comets vs Hammers Sat/Sun Shield Final 2nd Leg (followed by)
Comets vs Hammers Sat/Sun Championship League meeting

These days/dates for the Hammers matches are a bit in flux at present and dependant on the outcome of the Glasgow/Workington play off semi finals and the Scunthorpe/Peterborough KO Cup Semi Final as there are other teams involved here and not forgetting the Hammers so with a few different outcomes possible. There are also issues over the availability of the Showground and Rye House Stadium over this weekend and the following one 26th/28th October (to be fair outwith the respective promotions hands unfortunately)

So if there are rain offs or stadium availability issues it will probably result in mid-week matches having to be arranged. Furthermore if Glasgow do beat Workington they will claim their play off final takes precedence over anything Worky want to do due to their clout and self importance so Worky will have to wait until Glasgow decide (who is fit and when they are available and where they want to run the meeting home/away first with dates on vellum paper probably) before Workington can arrange their own cup finals (you know the cup competitions everyone went in for at the start of the season) (not just two teams). Luckily the Australian GP was sorted and will not impinge on anything further Glasgow will want to arrange. (now that is clout) 

Keep watching the usual media for the latest meeting information and just hope it doesn't rain.

Can anyone tell me which shops in Workington sell the speedway star still.

ASDA Dunmail Park and the "Luckiest Lotto Shop in Cumbria" (Think it's called Richard James Newsagents or something like that on Finkle Street) will get it in for you if you ask them. Or have a word with Liz in the track shop I am not sure but I think I have seen them on sale in there, but that might just have been the specials like the bumper edition at the start of the season and the calender's (or it could have been the Newcastle track shop! I am easily confused)
