SteelShoe 500 Posted September 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Tapeworm said: THJ, I'm intrigued by your 'TotallyHonestJohn' handle. What does 'Totally' add to 'HonestJohn'? Or is there a 'PartiallyHonestJohn' down there with whom you do not wish to be confused? Are you making the point that you are the honestest of all the Johns who post on here? More honest than 'SeldomHonestJohn'? It's a bit like the word 'Strictly' used on signage. What difference is there between 'No ball games' and 'Strictly no ball games' or 'No parking' and 'Strictly no parking'? I reckon it's just a scam perpetrated by signwriters to make more money. Anyway, I think the current fixtures debacle is, Strictly, TotallyC*ckedUp. Think you missed Come Dancing or Strictly Come Dancing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlislecomet2 304 Posted September 27, 2018 I come in peace and am not envious, a moaner or a victim, I am but a lowly mushroom (aka a Comets supporter) who is going to push his little head slowly above the parapet formerly known as Hadrians Wall. I am not asking for a solution to the Irish Border situation or for details of what impact a no deal is going to have on our economy, all I ask is please, please, please someone in the know (or noooo) from either camp tell me when are we taking on the Tigers home and away. Its nothing much to ask you would think, but the longer we are kept waiting, the more the insults and vitriol fill this vacuum, replacing the usual 'friendly banter'. Frankly I am bored with it all, though probably not as bored as the Lakeside and Panthers fans are with the thought of facing each other 7 times I believe in the next couple of weeks - couldn't they sort it all out during 2 meetings, one at each venue, much like they do in boxing when they have their unification bouts. Because by the time the 7th meeting comes around (probably around Christmas time) they will be lucky to have the proverbial one man and his dog there to witness/give a toss about it. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lakeside reach the final of the KOC and CS and Workington are there also you face the same situation especially as theres a lge match still to run between them both, at least if its Peterborough you meet theres only the prospect of two finals and no lge match.

WorkyWorky 201 Posted September 28, 2018 Hoorah at long last no more nail biting! Glasgow point blank refused the 6th October at Workington, and could not do 5th or 7th up at Cookies shrine due to prearranged stadium events... that they couldn’t actually remember what they were. Thankfully they took comets fans into consideration you all know we prefer watching the saviour of British speedway on the big screen rather than trackside! Nothing at all to do with wanting a full team out..? Who owns the stadium/can race any night at all? You just couldn’t write it eh. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We offered numerous dates and times to suit Workington but funnily enough you didn't want to come without Klindt. we also thought it would be nice to have a few fans present . we realise you don't understand what a crowd looks like, although some people in worky think 3's a crowd. So we can now promote this semi in the manner required, something like we look forward to a nice match between the comets and their friendly likeable fans and the tigers. Regarding the day, we thought about Thursdays or even a Monday morning but that could have been a problem for a few of the danes as they celebrated on the Wednesday and Sunday nights having received wages, 'Wages' ? look it up in the dictionary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seemed to manage it so I will hazard a wild guess and say you could write it eh. Pity you couldn't have got humped at Armadale last week or the week before instead of tonight or you would have had plenty of dates. Oh wait a minute you did have plenty of dates in sunny June and July you just didn't bother to race on any of them , you just couldn't write it eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bite bite which numerous dates please list.. We’ll be without replacement for Bewley, who rightfully started the season with us but we’ve not kicked up a fuss about waiting for fixtures? Maybe you could kindly buy us some fans? Right after you’ve bought the league of course A lot of so called speedway supporters on here love having a joke about worky not being here next year. It really isn’t necessary or relevant to the meetings in place. Que the messages when we inevitably fold. “Poor worky, you will be missed, speedway doesn’t need another club gone”. I know you’ll miss us more than you think. No matter which teams goes through, cookie for sure will be at the final #backthemarras 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It IS a pity as maybe our riders would have given more than that half arsed attempt. Many Comets fans travelled to see them despite previous scores, not put off by a forum thread like your fellow fans. It’s a shame we were let down as such tonight, that performance was appalling. However we were racing one of remaining competitions. Kindly given to us by your Scottish friends helping us knock you out. If only Edinburgh were in the playoffs, I’d love to see you all cheering them on giving the tiggers a humping. Yes gazza, that old chestnut, I’ll put my rod away now. Happy keyboard fighting folks.
