if theres a team at Workington next year rasser suerly must be the first to be offered a contract 

 

wasn't there a rule in the past where you cant replace a replacement ?

ht 13 Jordan stewart replaced ulrich then in rerun stewart wasn't fit so Garcia took his place ?

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.

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!

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 :approve:

Thanks Halifaxtiger . Your posts are always on the money for me. 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.

%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 .

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 !! :)

Comets absolutely deserved it all things considered, and would not be surprised if they went on to win it now...

I am pretty sure that I cannot be the only one who had noticed the quite superb irony that the three tracks treated so shamefully as regards race nights have all made the play offs :D:approve:

I'm all for renaming the Play Offs as the "Up Yours" Trophy ! We can all change our race night music to "Friday On My Mind" Muck fe even Robinson Crusoe can ride on Friday !!!!!!!!

Yet another reason that Godfrey ( and Chapman ) need to consider their position and stand down from their BSPA senior roles.

Sadly, due to Peterborough beating Lakeside tonight, the Comets have been denied the chance of topping the league table !

It would have been brilliant...but heyho.

 

A good win at rough park and at home to lakeside and we could finish top but not in time for the pick in the playoffs. If we face glasgow 5 and 6 october good weekend to race them!
