szkocjasid Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I think Batchelor is a decent enough signing, average should improve with less top heat leaders about this year. Leaves enough room for Vissing as 3rd heat leader. If the the potential improvement of Vuolas & Zischke comes through, looks a play-off side to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 He was probably the best available on that sort of average out of what was left . You can look at it positively, you have two ex-GP regulars spearheading the side in a watered down league . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Depends on how he feels on race day if you’re going to get the good batch or the crap one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Just like the liebmann signing the batchelor one has got fans talking. You have to remember with batchelor it was only a couple of seasons ago he was banging in the points for Kent in a much weaker league, although the same could be said of cook. One thing for certain with this team though it’ll be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Welcome to Workington Troy! Good for the team to have some experience in there and Troy has plenty of it as with Cookie. So we now have 2 former GP riders. In response to the negative stuff about batch that’s in the past he’s a Comet now and I’m sure he will get the backing of the fans. Only one more rider to go I can’t wait to see the new team on track! Scunny away is our first trip let’s get behind the team! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 (edited) 7 minutes ago, HARLEY11A said: Vissing is ok or Hans Andersen on 6.32 av. Yep. Hans is the perfect signing. Just need everyone to climb aboard the De Lorean in back to the future, turn the clock to 2010, then you have a championship winning team. Seriously, Cook, Batchelor and Vissing, if he is the missing link, have no improvement in them. You have Antti Vuolas 5.0 and Tate Zischke 5.00 who look good prospects, and a team needs riders who can improve. I wish Workington a successful season with good crowds, good racing and goodwill. But the touted team won’t get near the playoffs. The inclusion of Celina Leibman is great for publicity but seriously? Would Englands best female player get a team place at Swindon Town or Wigan?

When Tate was 5, Sam was 4, Celina was 9 and Antti was 11. Plenty of youth in the team Not a fan of Craig or Troy... Could both go either way but hopefully they can keep focused... Wide open track like that should suit them both, hope it's slick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide open track like that should suit them both, hope it's slick I was writing about your top three. If Cook has sorted out his personal issues, and Batchelor is in the mood, the team has a decent chance of winning some home meetings, but not against the top sides in the league. The Workington track is big and wide, so no fear for away riders even on their first visit. The reserves are desperately weak in my opinion. But there are weaker sides. Berwick, Edinburgh, Plymouth.

H20 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 No I was hoping it was not Troy reading some posts earlier. He is well past his best and former he certainly is. Hard to work with to going of a few past clubs stories so with our young novice team manager who has only looked after the kids team. He gonna have his work cut out looking after the young lads our female rider then Cooke and Troy. Very strange signing will win heats when he Gates but if not will be just taking the piss at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
