Really got to wonder if the stories about HIM having the choice to go out in ht15 no matter the circumstances are true? Welcome back at Peterborough anytime as far as I am concerned.

I agree that it must be galling to lose the match when a rider in an abnormally high scoring reserve position is consistently banging in double figure scores (particularly when the Comets No. 1 and No. 5 can't reach double figures between them in either meeting), but 'them's the rules' as they say, and all teams will have fallen victim to this situation at one time or another. But don't forget he did actually beat the Glasgow riders to achieve his scores. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should have been the final. fantastic that it came down to the final bend after 30 races,what drama and excitemnt the playoffs can produce -- great to see Congrats to Worky-- a deserved final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's this "thems the rules" Mason is 6th in the Workington averages because the other 5 have ridden better throughout the season that's how it works and has done in speedway for a very long time.He was brilliant in both meetings yesterday and beat Tigers heat leaders with ease,some of the Tigers "star men" need to take a good look at themselves when it comes to commitment unlike Mason who gave it everything.Workington is a real Team effort throughout the season when 1 rider is having a poor day someone steps up.Hope the can finish with Trophies because they have had a very turbulent season and deserve something. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow have an abornally high no 1 with Cook at 10.45 ...averages make up the team, ours strength in depth , “them’s the rules” 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason is at reserve because the management at Workington went for a well balanced team where almost all of the top 6 could better one another at some point in the season and I'd say it has proved dividends for them. Who ever was riding at no 6 did their job unlike so many other teams who went top heavy and ended up with reserves that were regularly beaten at home. Well done on putting together a TEAM 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wells gated but Klindt and Proctor had the second and third places they needed, and they rode every inch of the track to hold on to them for an incredible three points which kept hopes of a dream treble alive in what could be the club’s final and best ever season.

I was being unkind to the laboratory rat btw comparing it to Jenga it probably in all likelihood has a higher IQ. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sincerely hope there a Peterborough then so he can go there but I've a funny feeling Poole may just beat everyone else too him.
