IronScorpion 1,407 Posted July 11, 2018 Workington & other promotions are trying to push the issue into running meetings when their riders have hit a bit of form while we are still using multi guests & r/r. I said earlier when we agreed to the postponement at Workington on 19th May if other teams would play ball if the shoe was on the other foot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought I'd get a few emoji's in first You're just not grasping it are you...its not about the postponement with your lot, it was about all our Friday's fixtures going forward being removed from the Fixture list without an explanation . We aren't pushing for anything just to ride on the AGREED nights from the start of the season , nothing to do with meeting teams as we've hit a bit of form ... Got it ???? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbird 33 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I won't lie Friday's cancelled home meeting against Newcastle has got me baffled thanks to this stupid rule brought in by the bspa.glorious weather and two teams ready to race sitting on there bums at home Instead of been on track that night.it wouldn't be so bad if either team was riding somewhere else and make this ruling kinda understandable.

ch958 2,395 Posted July 11, 2018 serious post - could someone bring me up to speed on this Friday thing = i think i missed an announcement or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet49 314 Posted July 11, 2018 It was announced at the Workington v Glasgow meeting, week before last, that the Comets and other clubs had been asked to change Friday night fixtures, they weren' t happy, fixtures agreed in January. Sometime last week the Comets and others had fixtures taken off the fixture list by the BSPA. The Comets are affected most, Edinburgh & Peterborough not so much I believe. Ok to ride last Friday against Berwick cos they ride Saturday. The issue seems to be rider availability for guests to cover injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only think it's so riders are available for guest appearances, it's a case of you can't ride Fridays, even though in January we agreed you could on these Fridays. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,026 Posted July 11, 2018 With Rene Bach getting a new ave (6.12) Workington could replace Kyle Bickley with up to 3.73! Would you drop him? Who for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,426 Posted July 11, 2018 Drop kyle NEVER its all a learning curve for him just hope we get to see the benefit next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted July 11, 2018 no chance of young kyle getting dropped . we are not that sort of promotion . British speedway needs clubs like workington to bring on the young uns . stop talking poooo . altho he may be replaced by Greg Hancock ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbird 33 Posted July 11, 2018 Ha ha ha.drop Bickley.not a chance if common sense and decency has anything to do with it.yeah the lads found pts hard to come by which is understandable at this level he's riding at now but we have to stick with him and show our faith in the ability the lad has and will go on to show in bundles if we have the patience to keep him in the team for the rest of the season.

szkocjasid 3,026 Posted July 11, 2018 If Bickley was a Workington asset, i'd agree with the above comments, but what's to stop him signing for another club next season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
