Workington 2019


Recommended Posts

Well at least we know there is a chance we could be running next season, so that's positive. Points limit had to be reduced, the difference between the top two leagues this season was virtually nothing.

Really pleased that Worky are running in 2019.

Keep up the good work

I'm waiting for some news from the comets management before celebrating tbh, not that I'm wanting to sound negative.

I just don't get where dropping the team average reduces costs. All it does is change the rider m market, the riders know clubs are after them due to their average and they simply ask for more money as they know they are wanted. Imagine being in Kyle's position a two point rider that just about every club will try and sign virtually name his price.

All it does is weaken teams on track so we will not be seeing the likes of Cooke Wells etc in that league which is a shame. 

If Workington run I personally don't care what the team is as long as we have a team.

Fixtures or lack of are a worry for regular speedway but for us that's better than nothing. Just hard to promote.

I presume the Peterborough fans will be in touch thanking you for telling them of their upgrade to the Premiership, as you of course did say a while back.?????????? lol....

too much information in speedway comes from teams that should not release details of other promotions buisness

but we are use to that in recent years 

far too much bitterness and jealousy in speedway 

if Workington are running then get rasmus signed without delay

38 point team average going to be some weak teams 

but if all teams build well to 38 points they will be no weaker than any other team 

just the overall quality of the league will be a little lower 

some top riders will miss out on this league and some lower riders might get the chance to step up a little sooner 

for some it will work well for others it could ruin there carrier 

this type of thing has been tried before with the graded groups and it actually made costs higher for the best lower graded riders 

for me the best times in 2nd tier speedway were when the points limit was 45 it gave much more flexible options to team building

Well I believe.

38 point team average quite low but how about:-

 1. Proctor - 6.96

2. Campton - 6.32 

3. Klindt - 6.94

4. Jensen 6.59

5. Aarnio 6.83

6. J Thomas 2.30

7. Bickley 2.00

Total Team average = 37.94 (I think :blink:)

id be happy with that team 

but been told klindt wont be riding championship next year due to other commitments and also family time

Quick look at the averages and rumours on this site about nicolia leaves us with last years 6 plus a 3 77 av rider of which their dont seem ro be any !!

chillax !

its good to see that the speedway season now starts in April  instead of March . at  least its giving the weather a chance to brighten up and get a wee bit warmer . 

its deff not a winter sport .  it needs to start mid April and no silly  l o n g  breaks .IMO .
