Speedway4ever Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well done to the Comets. Annnd another win. I like the Panthers, but Glad to see my other home team win again and Play offs here they come. Many wrote the Comets off last season, but this season they certainly turned heads. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't that rule perfectly legal as far as i'm concerned, he was replaced by a reserve after taking a tumble , with no advantage to gain as the match was over and done with anyway. Well done for making the play offs maybe we will meet in semi's and put on a better show than what we did tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 A big well done to the track staff for ensuring the meeting went ahead after all the rain during the past couple of days, and to all the riders from both sides for giving it a go. Hopefully no-one picked up any serious injuries. Into the play offs we go then, and still in 2 cup competitions - not too shabby for a TEAM that many had written off before the season had started and who have had to overcome a number of obstacles put before them this year. It would be nice to get Ty back from injury which would give us a fighting chance against anyone. Bring em on! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Not up to the high standard of meetings I have seen at Workington this season but the fact that it went ahead at all is commendable, particularly after it chucked it down about an hour before the start. Might have been a few wobbly moments but, in reality, the Comets always looked like winning against a Peterborough team that didn't seem that interested. Huge credit to all the riders, though, for getting on with it without complaint. I am sure that we can all think of some that would have voiced opinions in no uncertain terms. The speed at which the meeting was run was all important, because just after heat 15 it absolutely threw it down, and did so several times on the way back. Again, credit to all concerned. I thought Steve Whitehead overstated it a bit but there's no doubt that Workington have been treated pretty shabbily this season by both the BSPA and other championship teams. For that reason, and the fact that they a brilliant little club, its fantastic to see them make it to the play offs 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the racing not great last night but it was the result that mattered. There hax been some crackers recently though and i'm hoping we will see a few more before the season draws to a close.

waytogo28 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Lambert's marital sub. proved to be better than he would have been - as expected it strengthened P'boro. Another rule bites the dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 %100 excitement inside the ground and outside the ground .! ! !. .. i thought Peterborough were a bit slow @ times during the meeting or were Workington just a bit quicker . track was good when things settled down and gave us a good racing surface . main thing is we got the points and deserved to be in the top 4 play offs . track staff done a great job with the track and all riders deserve a huge well done . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Was watching updates from Greece was a bit nail biting towards the end and bandit's trying to muscle in as well, onwards and upwards for mighty comets. Now got a minimum of 4 meetings or if we reach all the finals a maximum of 12 meetings (if we can fit them all in ) must be an incentive for riders 12 more pay days, come on comets we can do it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.N.Other Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Sadly, due to Peterborough beating Lakeside tonight, the Comets have been denied the chance of topping the league table !

If we face glasgow 5 and 6 october good weekend to race them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
