Taylorj Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 40 minutes ago, Blue Groove said: I agree that it must be galling to lose the match when a rider in an abnormally high scoring reserve position is consistently banging in double figure scores (particularly when the Comets No. 1 and No. 5 can't reach double figures between them in either meeting), but 'them's the rules' as they say, and all teams will have fallen victim to this situation at one time or another. But don't forget he did actually beat the Glasgow riders to achieve his scores. Glasgow have an abornally high no 1 with Cook at 10.45 ...averages make up the team, ours strength in depth , “them’s the rules” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting Bach and jensen have had spells at reserve,and very nearly klindt at one stage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason is at reserve because the management at Workington went for a well balanced team where almost all of the top 6 could better one another at some point in the season and I'd say it has proved dividends for them. Who ever was riding at no 6 did their job unlike so many other teams who went top heavy and ended up with reserves that were regularly beaten at home. Well done on putting together a TEAM 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells gated but Klindt and Proctor had the second and third places they needed, and they rode every inch of the track to hold on to them for an incredible three points which kept hopes of a dream treble alive in what could be the club’s final and best ever season.

That's part of the problem - he still sees himself as a big name. With all due respect there comes a time when you have to accept that your time as an International class rider comes to an end and accept it gracefully. Would Bomber have been in the GB team for the match if it had been anywhere else other than Glasgow? I seriously doubt it (mind you same could be said about Cookie bearing in mind Roscoe's apparent treatment of the guy). It will be interesting to see if we go to one big league how many of the older guys like Nicholls, Kennett, King and Harris find they are No2 s (no jokes please!!). It's going to be interesting watching how teams are built next year and what averages they'll be given to play with. (If it's 15hts make it 45 please) Edited October 15, 2018 by cinderfella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However fixture wise Lakeside in the Shield Friday at Rye Lakeside double header at DP on the Saturday with the Shield being the first one and the League match the second one. Then it's off to Scunny on Sunday for the first leg of the Cup. These meetings are confirmed. We need the other Semi between Boro and Lakeside sorted before we can put that one to bed. There was a great post put up about what Ty had to do to reach a 7 average and I will find that tomorrow and post on it again as it was spot on. None of the Cup Shield or Play Off matches contribute to a riders averages. Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem on my part for him to come back to Panthers , that's if they are running in 2019 but what about his supposed main sponsor which was said to be one of the main reasons he went to Glasgow in the first place , will they not have something to say.

magnus Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 A bit off topic but.... Comets face Lakeside in a double header on Saturday and it still leaves two other finals they have to ride for. Whats the situation and the potential facility on offer to Workington, should time run out and they are unavailable, due to having to go home and try to qualify for another season back in British Speedway 2019. (Please don't say NL guest, as that will make an absolute mockery to British Speedway)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comets' season didn't start till June, whereas Sheffield's finished in August. Is it a new policy to stagger the season so that more riders are available to fill guest bookings? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Please don't say NL guest, as that will make an absolute mockery to British Speedway)... Considering the 2nd meeting in the double header is effectively a meaningless match as it is the normal league meeting surely it would make more sense to have Scunny as visitor for the KO Cup Final? Then of course if the actual league match didn't go ahead Worky would undoubtedly face sanctions for not finishing their matches in a competition in which they reached the final without having to have completed all their league matches. Only in British speedway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
