topaz325 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) So this match has been hastily rescheduled for Sunday evening with the first leg taking part at Glasgow at 13:30 pm, the only sensible decision really given the awful weather forecast for Friday and Saturday. I assume the Tigers will still be using Ricky Wells in place of the injured Craig Cook and Workington will be using rider replacement for Dan Bewley. Lets hope for some good racing and may the best team win. Edited October 14, 2018 by topaz325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 This is assuming that Saturday night at Derwent Park is rained off........but the weather forecast for Workington is rain all day Friday and Saturday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerforever Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Now that it’s confirmed for both meetings to be on Sunday let’s hope the weather is kind and both clubs get big turnouts as that’s the whole point of reaching the play offs. think the Tigers could sneak it but ideally need at least a ten point win in the home leg. Is Ricky Wells doing both meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Not an ideal situation to run two meetings in a day , this will surely have an impact on traveling fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a lot of options really.. there will still be a few from both sides making the journeys north and south...unfortunately I won't be one of them due to a prior engagement..I will be there in spirit tho and my partners in crime will keep me posted. Though I am gutted not to be there these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneylegend Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Another tough few meetings for the boys hopefully they approach them with the determination they showed against Edinburgh - this won't be easy so need to be on it!

Gismo Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 The amount of rain it has dumped down and is still continuing to do so, the track staff will certainly have there work cut out, trying to get these meetings on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneylegend Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Tough meeting, on paper harder than the Edinburgh one .... its all in the head and if our lads have the same approach as they did against Edinburgh to pull those points back then we can do this ! 55 - 35 prediction !
