scaramanga 869 Posted September 20, 2017 well no news on the forums from comet/comercial dan and no replys to pm's there is a article on news and star website no jorgonson saturday so ty is at no.5 mason moves to no.3 and r/r at no.2 hopefully for what its worth now the season is dead mason will prove he is ok at 3 or 4 and if thomas returns before end of season matt will move to no.2 and keep mason at 3 or 4 something that should of happened as soon as matt mooved out of reserve berth still no news on why the unoffical forum is down but some are saying its been closed to stop the negativity and the management arnt happy at the fans responce as most are saying the same things also theres a story from james if its from him personally and truth full or managemeng speal is something well never know but he has made a appology apparantly for his actions dont think hell ever undo the damage hes done but he can ride his socks off for the rest of the season to try make up for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) i agree the unofficial comets site has been closed down to stop a huge amount of shot going in sarj,s way and maybe some aimed at the promotion . but i dont see how that is the way forward ,closing the site down and saying its in m mode is not the way to do it sure , some guys are getting flack , deservedly so .in my opinion . james wee post on hid f/b page is a bit iffy . pointing the finger at the workington track and not being able to get to grips with it . BUT the starting procedure is all the same . 4 riders,one set of tapes, one starting guy and a ref with his finger on the button . its the same procedure all over the uk and even abroad . 1 riders line up. 2start marshall happy with how the guys line up 3 walks away . 4green light on . riders under oder . tapes up ... gone 5complete 4 laps , race over . it not hard to follow, in fact its easier than primary school ! i dont think worky supporters have a prob with his riding , its his constant misuse of the starting procedure . the signs are on the wall now and they dont have any good reading on them .i hope i am wrong tho . DONT FORGET ABOUT A WEE MEETING ON SATURDAY WHEN WE TAKE ON THE MILLIONAIRES FROM GLASGOW . ALMOST FORGOT TO ADD . GOOD MOVE TO PUT MASON AT 3 , BUT 4 WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER ! james , the last thing we need is a 1/5 in heat 2 . . Edited September 21, 2017 by jenga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerro 186 Posted September 21, 2017 If this was a football match we would be sending the reserves. Only in speedway would you have a meaningless meeting in between 2 semi final play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,827 Posted September 21, 2017 I can see what you mean but by not completeing the League fixtures makes British Speedway look even more amateurish, this aside the fixtures should have been completed before the cut off date in the ideal world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted September 21, 2017 i urge ALL glasgow fans not to attend this meaningless meeting and save your money . also whats the point of the away riders turning up , its meaningless . remember that when you get offered overtime . its meaningless, you only pay more tax ..... .

Sadly can't see any Glasgow fan attending. What with the 3 recent matches, the riders championship on Sunday and play off second leg money will be tight. Throw in the dodgy weather.... Edit to be fair the weather forecast doesn't look too bad Edited September 22, 2017 by SharpenRake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerro 186 Posted September 21, 2017 If this was a football match we would be sending the reserves. Only in speedway would you have a meaningless meeting in between 2 semi final play offs. After tonight's performance, the second leg is as meaningful as the Workington fixture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted September 23, 2017 almost accepted 2 free tickets this morning to see the worky v tigers meeting, but thought about it for a millisecond and refused them . better to pay your way and not be part of the closing of the speedway . season ticket holder or not , we all still pay our way .....

comet49 311 Posted September 23, 2017 Well done Jenga, nice one. Hope it's a better crowd, Lawson returning and Cookie back should create interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
workyboy 96 Posted September 23, 2017 I see on Facebook, Ty Proctor now has a dose of swine fever (pig sick) and told them he's not riding. Looking more like a sinking ship every weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
