Weeyin 1,020 Posted September 30, 2018 Well done Comets , that was some comeback, shame that it has been difficult to get all your fixtures in , as you are the best team in the league this year and should come away with some silverware by the end of the season, I do hope that we can spoil your Party by puting you out of play offs , but that is subject to my team stepping up, which is unpredictable, if the comets put us Tigers out , then I hope you go on and win the treble, you deserve it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 62 Posted September 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Midget said: Wow what a meeting, from 1 to 7 a massive effort. Man of the meeting for me though was kyle Bickley, boy has the kid come on this past couple of month, a massive star of the future. I just hope the rumour I'm hearing of a move to Glasgow next season are not true, I think a move up there would be anything but good for his development giving the pressure and expectation that the tigers promotion up there put on riders. Can't see Kyle leaving his hometown club as early as 1 season. He's progressed more for Workington rather than Belle Vue this season - most likely because this is his real home and not to mention he tends to get overshadowed by Dan Bewley (No disrespect, it has given Kyle something to work for in a way). If he does go to Glasgow, I can only see it being if they are either in a different league to Workington or if Workington cease to run next season (Hoping the latter is untrue) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelShoe 497 Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Wow still buzzing from last night. Like most everyone else i didn't think it the least bit probable that we would overturn a 28 point deficit against a team that have ran us close at home on a couple of occasions this season. I Left Armadale friday thoroughly dejected and hugely disappointed in the nature of our defeat but i take my hat off to the whole team because they were brilliant to a man last night. Young Kyle had a big night and is clearly developing a racing edge . Was obviously detetmined to do his bit for the team and he did, his points made it possible. Well done Kyle. It was a brilliant night for the Comets fans. For those that decided Strictly Come Dancing was a better option well, you missed something special because it was one of those 'i was there nights'. You should have been there supporting the Club !. We needed a good start and we got one. The lads kept chipping away at the deficit to the point when we all started to believe it was doable at which point the seeds of doubt must have been flowing through the Monarchs side of the pits. The tension became palpable as it must have been for the Monarchs fans who probably still didn't believe there side wouldn't eventually get across the line. They must have gone away feeling like we did friday - absolutely gutted. I was so pleased for everyone concerned especially Jacko who is an unsung hero and Laura, she must have really enjoyed the performance and result. Because of the circumstances it must go down as one of the most memorable nights ever for fans of the mighty Comets. Hugely entertaining, intriguing, at times controversial and for Comets fans ultimately hugely rewarding. What more could you want for sixteen quid. Just Brilliant. Thanks to Jake Allen who seems a really grounded level headed young man who could potentially go a long way in the sport. Also thanks to the Monarchs fans that made the trip and helped boost the gate. Thanks to Hoggy who was once again brilliant on the mic. Up the Comets !!!

topaz325 1,853 Posted September 30, 2018 I am still buzzing too!! Cannot believe we actually pulled that score back from Friday night, well done to all the riders, mechanics and staff. Good move in hindsight to put two good gaters out in heat 15, as much as Richie Worrall tried he could not pass Nicolai and Ty. The two Monarchs fans standing near us were totally dejected when Ricky Wells was rightly excluded from ht 15 but fair play to the Monarchs fans who travelled down to Derwent Park when many thought it was a forgone conclusion that their team would win on aggregate, me included. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) a well known local , just like to add that if you are facing the wrong way after the 2 mins has expired, then you are deemed as not ready for racing and was rightly excluded while spinning his rear wheel and preparing his gate.

Bandit59 1,151 Posted September 30, 2018 Miracles do happen did not think that was possible well done the Comets,as I have mentioned earlier after all the carry on about Friday race nights would be great to stick 2 fingers up at someone hope you get the treble. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 895 Posted September 30, 2018 it was a good night to be a comets fan wells was officaly announced as excluded for delaying start but really should have been for preparing gate after his start line as already said facing wrong way spinning wheel to through dirt in front of the tapes is not allowed if ever a team needs fans to support them then this is the team I just wish I had the money to back them 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree,but I think Centre Green clock should be made compulsory at all tracks and riders ready to race rule before time up should be introduced.A lot of refs flash the green lights as a warning but not all do it ,which is an anomaly . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,072 Posted September 30, 2018 What an incredible result . Has to be one of the greatest comebacks in cup speedway history , i'm sure even the most ardent Comets fan didnt expect to pull back a 28 point deficit against one of the strongest sides in the league. Well done Workington 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was said very much tongue in cheek, stuart like all ref,s is non biased towards any riders or teams and the rule is clear no facing non racing line to garden, but what i would have gave to see mr cambells and mr hunters faces when the exclusion light came on .even the old dears on the bus after i explained the rule to them last night said it was the right call!!
