SteelShoe Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 The weather played a big part in this meeeting, first of all in how the forecast influenced track prep and then the heavy rain turned the remaining races into a bit of a lottery. I didn't think the last heat was going to be run especially after the time delay following heat 14 with the rain still falling i was a bit surprised when the bikes came out. Before the rain the racing wasn't brilliant but a good few races were close . The Comets built up a decent cushion which we eventually needed because we generally lost our way in the wet conditions . Congratulations to Young Kyle Bickley on his 4 points from 3 rides, he his developing more of a racing edge now which is good to see. We got the 3 points we needed, not sure the Tigers would have got a point if the weather hadn't intervened but they probably deserved it as more of their riders adapted better to the changing conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorj Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 The rain spoilt a decent meeting .. the scoreline flattered Sheffield, when the rain started and our boys knew we had the cushion they didn’t risk themselves .. crazy how heat 15 was ran when Sheffield couldn’t win the meeting but Mr Bates thought they were only 3 points behind thinking Charles had scored double points in his tac ride so wanted the race run .. 3 points nice one boys 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.N.Other Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 23 hours ago, Argos said: I really do think that all the problems that Workington have had this season is down to them not being in attendance at the AGM I know Tony Jackson personally, quite well, and I can assure you that he could not attend the AGM because of personal family commitments (and believe me you would not wish to have those commitments yourself !). His place would have been taken by other management members, but I also know for a fact that they had untimely personal family commitments too !! I appreciate you werent inferring it, but please....no-one should think that our management just simply "couldnt be bothered" to attend the AGM. If you knew just how MUCH of his personal time Tony Jackson puts in week in and week out to sort team issues out, you would find it almost impossible to believe ! And he has a full time job to go to, plus he has long term family commitments to battle with on a daily basis too...so lets give him some credit ! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Couldnt get last night work again but second son went for first time in 15 yrs with his 2 lads and they luved it will be going everyweek ,now if only we could find a few more like that ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 i think most people @ workington have a wee bit of knowledge as to why no management were available for the AGM . its just a few outsiders putting their spin on it and causing upsets . about the AGM. tony jackson deserves a huge amount of credit for the day to day running of a speedway club . a fan of many , many years . a truly nice and approachable guy . if speedway had a tony jackson in every club , none of the r u bb i s h that goes on in speedway would be happening . tony is up there with the legends of workington riders and promoters . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.N.Other Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I totally agree Jenga. Tony Jackson has always been totally and utterly devoted to his work for the Comets, over many many years. He should be given an award for all his work, much of which is done in his OWN TIME ! I cant help but think though, that with all the shenanigans that the poor bloke and the other club management have had to constantly battle against this season, he and they must be at the end of their tethers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as though they are replacing him with a 30 year old from Hungary. Connor Mountain is just 20 and, with respect to Lawlor, at this stage a far better rider.

Blackadder Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Very unfair criticism of Julie Reading. She doesn't control the purse strings or sign or release riders. Joe Lawlor was signed some time ago, but that doesn't mean he is ready for the CL now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
