topaz325 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Workington's second meeting of the weekend is against Scunthorpe in the Championship Shield (its been that long I don't know what its about) with the Comets only needing a win to advance into the next round? Weather looks good, the Comets have Ben Barker as a guest for the injured Dan Bewley and Ty Proctor back from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Should be a relatively easy win for the comets, really really hope Im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think it will be a bit closer this time around, don't expect Scunny to just lie down because they don't have any advantage from the home leg? They'll be up for it no doubt and to be fair any winning score will do for me, ill stick with the first figure that came into my head tho 50-40!!

ScunnyDan Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 44-46 would be wonderful, sadly cant see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WTF1 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Can't see Scunthorpe getting 36 points having just seen the result v Newcastle tonight especially with Manzares and Phillips at reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Scunthorpe might actually be interested in racing though Newcastle were a very poor team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman1 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 All depends on scunnies reserves ,if they score some points the others are a match for any team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) My views on tonight's meeting (Preview) Workington Comets Nicolai Klindt - Looked good last night but never incredibly fast, however his gating was more up to standards as he still battles with his clutch troubles in the UK. Rasmus Jensen - Another impressive home meeting and will take some stopping. Could well be in for another big score tonight but needs to be firing well. Ben Barker (G) - Always impressive but is renowned to not be the fastest from the traps, Looked brilliant for Redcar/Peterborough but not the same last time out in the blue and white. Still good for a decent amount whatever one we get. Rene Bach - A good partner for Ben, been looking good from the gates and is fast enough as shown last night. Ty Proctor - Made a good comeback last night, yet only came out 3 times but looked a lot better since the last time he was at his home track. Also has a point to prove after being left behind on the victory lap following heat 15 Kyle Bickley - Could be in for perhaps his biggest score this season, outpaced Danny at Berwick in 'Stars Of Tomorrow'. Mason Campton - Looked very good (As he has done most of this year) Comets' fans will be hoping for the same as yesterday. Scunthorpe Scorpions Steve Worrall - Not 100% but still good enough to challenge tonight and needs to be as expected from the word "go". Stefan Nielsen - First time at Workington in a long time (I believe so) but is a trier wherever he goes but if the comets are riding like 24 hours prior he might need to surprise a few. Jason Garrity - Always is impressive on the bigger tracks, also fully it and in some form, theoretically should do better than last time. Jake Allen - Shown last time he is very capable but did also run 2 lasts when the Scorpions visited earlier in the season - yet bagged 3 wins and a 2nd. Josh Auty - Unlucky last time up in the North West after a nasty looking crash but is again a rider who knows how to get around Derwent Park as shown in the past. Danny Phillips - Sadly not looking on the best of form and doesn't look to turn it around tonight, but is still capable for a few points on his day. Gino Manzares - Again capable of scoring at least his expected average, and has come into some slightly better form in recent weeks, be nice to see if he can keep it going tonight. Predicted Score Workington - 49 (94) Scunthorpe - 41 (86) Edited September 22, 2018 by Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Should be a good meeting , I’m expecting a close one, mmm 48-42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WTF1 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Glad when this season is over, didn't want to be proved right with my prediction but the season has descended into a complete farce with the inclusion of Phillips and Manzares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 If it's true what I heard about Ty Proctor tonight it's disgusting. I don't care what the reason is for him to take that attitude and throw every single toy from his pram. Who else noticed he was not the captain tonight at the coin toss. Disgusting attitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wot I seen. Wot about who knows, but all riders vans were still at DP well after meeting end Quite a shock, when some Comets riders actually came into the Derwent Lounge tonight, well after the meeting had finished and when they have normally long gone ! Rene, Rasmus, and Nicolai, all came in for a while, to rapturous cheers and applause from the people that were there at the time !! I dont think I have EVER seen Nicolai in the bar before ? But they all seemed happy enough anyway. No sign of Ty, Kyle, or Mason though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 the fans think an awful lot about this years team and i heard rounds of applause coming from bends 1 and 2 that were much louder than normal. the fans want the finals just as much as the riders want it . there seemed more input from the locals tonight , were they all drunk or just happy as to how this season has gone and how well the underdogs have risen to the top . head in bra could be a wee bit more difficult to crack , one final down , roll on the next . ME .... still sober . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Watching from the pits all season ty comes across as a.loner who gets on with the job , i didnt see him and jacko having words butl later on ty was having a go at jeering riders up before heats and was out on track with the rest of the boys helping eachother so perhaps put it down to wanting to win for his "words" with jacko.had a crac with mr godfrey and some interesting thoughts on the comets and speedway in general, not a bad fellow as perhaps we make out ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey papering over the cracks . he done the dirty and will be remembered for a long time about his actions and the way he went about looking after HIS team and putting others in the mire . i dont have any respect for him at all . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
