Taylorj 1,000 Posted April 12, 2018 Let’s hope the weather stays okay 42 rain offs already , unbelievable!! Making the trip up if my Bank Loan comes through .. bloody hell its an expensive night up there , entry fee , programme , think I’ll take a packed lunch and pinch a look at someone else’s programme .. lol ! Not sure why I put myself through going to the trick track in the league with massive home advantage but our boys are capable of keeping it close to finish the job back at DP on Saturday Good Luck boys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted April 13, 2018 Hard to tell how the Monarchs will perform as the 3/4 of Mark Riss & Joel Andersson appear to be the possible Achilles Heel, given their starting averages are both less than Worky's now injured Campton. BDW could well be a potential matchwinner for the Comets, all of whom, apart from Bickley, have had more track time at Armadale than Ruml & Andersson, with the latter possibly still feeling the after effects of his horrendous ht 14 crash last Friday.

Fenway Bleachers 2,665 Posted April 13, 2018 Rain due to go off by noon latest then receeding chance of rain with cloud all day. Lets avoid another late call off ....please. Think we should sign Noah and his crew at this stage...I`m getting webbed feet. Makes you wonder why water is not our No1 export....... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jukebox Romeo 12 Posted April 13, 2018 Looking forward to this one. Always had a soft spot for Workington as my 'second team' since my early speedway days watching Schott/Carr vs Stonehewer/Stead at Armadale and Derwent Park. Fancy Edinburgh to win this but it will be closer than most expect I think. Max looked impressive last week, hopefully he can carry that on tonight but it will be a real test against a solid Comets side. Erik has had a scorching start to the season and we will need him and Ricky to be on form against potentially weaker Workington heat leaders. A lot also depends on the return from BWD at #7, hopefully Josh can keep him subdued. I'll go Edinburgh 49-41 Workington 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
