A massive decision coming up for the Comets, as to what they do when Mason Campton is fit and ready to return to race, do they stay loyal to Campton or do they stick with BWD. For me sticking with BWD would turn them from a decent team, into a team that could well put in a serious challenge for honours. Possibly but no knee jerk reactions bad day at the office who knows but the main concern for me is the amount of mechanical problems this team continually have. Paul Starke as an example clearly not fit but taking guest bookings rather than rest his injury. Fully aware on the earning potential etc but surely you should put your own club first,there is a lot of soul searching to be done over the coming days as that capitulation was alarming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong team management required Gazc. The Starke situation today was pitiful. Lewis Kerr should have been in ht15, i dont give a #### about preserving his maximum. Harris shouldnt have got near it after his plethora of EFs. To think we binned Lawson and Summers for their inconsistency! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bookings are a necessary evil it is just frustrating when it is your club that it impacts. Not that a fit Paul Starke would have made any difference today Workington were brilliant today plain and simple. What i will say though is if i turn up to my work with shoddy equipment i would be sent home. Richie Worrall today was slower than a tortoise without speed and bar one meeting it has been like that all season, somebody needs to explain wtf is going on with Richie ,Bomber etc. This is happening far to often just to be bad luck fans pay good money to watch 4 riders race not 2 away riders clearing off and 2 home riders spluttering at the back going through the motions.

Got to agree here, Starke should not have ridden on Friday or Saturday. Chris Harris is having an absolutely terrible time of if witt bikes, even when he borrowed others something similar happened. For me questions need to be asked of Richie Worrall, started the season as no.1 and has been very poor this season. Vissing and Kerr have been carrying the team with Sarjeant and Thomas attaining more than their average in most meetings.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 maybe Richie Wozza is lowering his average for next year seeing he is on a set wage ! you guys enjoying sarj and his performances ? harris should have enough bikes in his shed to bring to a meeting . 2nd bike fails and thats a former GP rider .maybe toys are us are doing his bikes this year . but a cracking result for the marras and thats 2 wins on the bounce @ glasgow for us . mason maybe available for a loan to you guys or even BWD . bredders has been awesome for us . going to miss him . you can put lipstick on a pig , but its still a pig .  just banter of course as we all know ..

Weeyin Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Workington were sharp from the gate and BWD had his best ever meeting at Glasgow. Good to see the progress that young Dan has made , would have loved to see him race like that last season as a Tiger. Well done to the Comets hope they can get the crowds back. Workington will take some stopping if they keep that form. Thank goodness for Lewis Kerr  one man team today for the tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deja vu from last year, start off like train and it all goes ** up by June. We regretted not making a change last year, i doubt it'll happen twice.
