Workington rugby kick off at 1pm, maybe giving fans the chance to walk the short distance after the rugby has finished to the track? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Cud be an interesting couple of meetings against scummy, as whoever wins on aggregate over 2 meetings will be in the semi final of the BSN cup, also probably a chance the losing team will also qualify as best 2nd place finisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Tough couple of meetings against scunthorpe coming up.fingers crossed comets can do the business and do enough to finish top of the group and make it a bit more relaxing and be able to sit back and relax and see what happens in the other groups as there could easily be a few twists and turns in them and make the best 2nd place very interesting.

Shaggy Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) It looks a tight meeting on paper. Comets have a powerhouse top 5 if they all click, but Scunny are well capable of matching them, and more with 2023 Comet, Luke Harrison at reserve along with Jack Smith, who was one of the better visitors around Northside last year in my opinion, giving them the edge in the reserve department. Quite hard to predict, but I think we’ll be able to make an educated guess later this afternoon once we see a few heats. I can’t see us challenging Scunthorpe away, so this is our best chance to at least get the all important third win in the table and most likely book ourselves a place in the Semi Final as the lucky losers. This is going to be the toughest test so far for The Comets, and definitely not one to be missed. Best of luck, and I’m sure everyone in attendance will enjoy another great day of racing!

scaramanga Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) Any news on tate Just like last week with Bailey Luke Harrison is man to compare some of our riders with Especially Sam Edited April 28 by scaramanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Looking forward to what is a tough meeting on paper, hard to call because the Scunny heat leader form has been a bit sketchy away from the EWR . The reserves battle is important so the Comets need to see a much improved showing from Sam and Celina against their opposite numbers. Sure all the Comets will be up for this after being mauled by the Bears on Friday. Right now I would just take a win . UTC ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted April 28 Author Report Share Posted April 28 Scunthorpe beaten by 18 last night at Berwick but I think the Northside track will suit the Scunthorpe riders better today, should be pretty close . 48-42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Reading the reports, Workington is more of a racers track rather than Berwick's "gate & go" so should suit us a bit more even though our heat leader trio are not scoring consistently away from home. The Workington riders are getting more dialled in to their new surroundings, scoring well towards the end of meetings as the track changes. Their top 3 should score about 30-34 & 2nd strings 10-14 so we need to be on our guard & hit them hard. An interesting meeting to follow. After last night, I would have thought D Howe would know a bit about Berwick's track & knowing starts are important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 With all the conspiracy theories going around about Speedway HQ at the EWR, home of "head honcho" Rob Godfrey you would think no other track has issues.(Leicester & ianb have no reason to talk). Issues with the wiring & starting gate at Poole, issues of soft track at Redcar, starting gate at Berwick, re-laid & re-configured track at Plymouth, issues now at Workington with re-laid(new) material not bedding in leading to 3 falls on bend 4 in 5 races. Now is it possible our lousy winter/spring weather has had a major part to play? Not with some posters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After today he need anther Team talk.They were poor on “gate and go track”now they are poor on a “racers track”.To be fair there seemed an issue with the track though.

IronScorpion Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Well that looked utter crap from the updates site. 4 heat winners, 2 top scorers with 7 a piece. Do we not watch races from the pits gate? When Worky didn't gate, they stuck it around the outside of bends 1 & 2 & were gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue was ironed out after heat 5 and produced some terrific racing. Scunthorpe were absolutely atrocious. Howarth is not a number 1 don’t care what anybody says. Comets 1-7 all mucked in but Sam McGuirk had the bit between his teeth towards the end of the meeting. Him and Celina impressed towards the end. Zischke is an absolute steal on a 5 what a rider that lad is going to be. Cookie and Batch shutting the keyboard warriors up, again. Claus getting to grips with the track now too.

Put a fair bit of dirt down in the past 2 weeks and it hasn’t bedded in apparently. Seemed to be a soft spot more than a rut that was causing an issue coming out of turn 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
