Byker Biker 468 Posted September 23, 2018 Just now, Tsunami said: Proctor has always been like that, thumping pit walls and shouting aloud. He is a moody person and I saw plenty of him when I visited Redcar when he rode for them. His actions last night appear to be very unprofessional, and I'm very pleased that Tony and Steve seem to have said the right things and got a satisfactory performance from him afterwards. Be a shame if the actions of a rider, acting like a petulant child, spoiled the show that all of the team and management have worked hard to get for themselves and their fans. I would never have Ty in my team any year. Frankly his behaviour makes him unemployable even when he has a point he just doesn't know how to make it other than to become abusive and confrontational. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly George in his programme notes last week said what a pleasure it had been to work with the riders in Diamonds team this year. He also said "I was recently talking to one of my colleagues from a side that is challenging for honours and although his side have done very well he has had nothing but problems with his riders .......which should have been enjoyable one for him but has been anything but." People can make their own mind up about that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,762 Posted September 23, 2018 Just to offer a different viewpoint Proctor has been brilliant this year at Lynn, his performances have exceeded expectations considerably and like the rest of the team he has bought into the teamwork approach and has been fully involved in the team spirit and togetherness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlislecomet2 304 Posted September 23, 2018 I am obviously not privy to what goes on behind the scenes but Ty has been brilliant for us on the track this year. He has probably been one of the busiest riders around and seemed to score consistently well for whoever he has guested for. I am assuming any negative comments from supporters of rival teams are firmly tongue in cheek, as he would have walked into most, if not all teams this year particularly Newcastle. At least he has always turned up unless he was been injured. Hopefully Ty will be back again with us next season, if not I am sure he wont be short of offers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like another attempt to undermine the Comets, introduce some bad feeling between the rider's to put us off our stroke.....these voices that were heard, didn't happen to have a Scottish accent by any chance?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topaz325 1,853 Posted September 23, 2018 I tend not to get involved in the pits gossip, he said that , he had a spat talk, all hearsay and un truths most of the time. Any way regarding the Scunthorpe meeting it was more entertaining than the Newcastle meeting on Friday, standout riders being Ben Barker and Jake Allen , the Scorpions kept it close for the first seven heats before Campton and Jensen got a 5-1 in heat 8 and slowly built up a big lead.. I thought it would be a much closer contest but Scunthorpe turned out to be a virtual 2 man team though they were not helped by falls from Auty and Garrity later in the meeting. Kyle Bickley is slowly getting there, showing a greater determination especially in the fist and second bends of the first lap. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep last night much better than a woeful Newcastle effort...depleted team or not it wasn't worth my £13 (old git fee).....didn't cash in on my £3 deduction either last night (yep silly old git). Think the geordies on here are stirring it big style.....can't see them running next season...... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
