cyclone 943 Posted October 25, 2018 Congrats to Worky (and my local pal Barry who might now break into a smile ). TBH after watching them dismantle my own team in the semi, I was not surprised that they would post another 60 plus score, albeit with a "weaker" team this time round. IMO it will be an upset if they now do not complete the treble. BTW did they get the BSPA Vice Chairman to present the Cup ? 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Lucan 375 Posted October 25, 2018 Don't think anything is going to take the gloss off tonight Singy, absolutely outstanding performance tonight from one and all!! I thought before the meeting that if that 18pts is wiped out before ht 10 it was all over for Scunny and so it proved? As has been said already, Scunthorpe weren't bad we were just too good!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midget 162 Posted October 25, 2018 Another great performance from the mighty comets. Rasmus an mason take a bow, absolutely awsome over the two meetings. Nicolai klindt showed his class tonight, when it matters he can really turn it on. After being at scunny on Sunday it made it all more enjoyable for me watching gino manzares being brought back down to earth, where was the smug up his own self rider at tonight? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlislecomet2 304 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Wow, just wow, how much did they all want that. Great to see Ty and Dan there too and joining in the celebrations. Having them there must have given the rest of the team that little bit extra incentive to do it for them. Hopefully Nicolai hasn't put Dan's recovery back by tipping him out of his wheelchair! Nobody should be too hard on the Scorpions, they all rode hard and fast and I for one did not start to relax until heats 12 and 13. Just that the Comets were too good on the night. Jake Allen has to be first on the Scorpions team sheet next season, when hopefully they have an injury free year. Hopefully we go easy on the celebrations tonight. Now bring on Lakeside.

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted October 25, 2018 Well done Workington on an awesome performance tonight. I don't think Scunny were that bad - Workington made us look bad. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaggy 62 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I do find it fitting that Keith Denham presented the trophy tonight. For a man who put countless time and even more money into the club, he does deserve some recognition even after a few controversial decisions in his time. Raising one to the whole of Workington Speedway as well as someone who couldn't be there to witness such a special moment, Mr Ian Thomas. Wish you luck in your other 2 Finals against the Lakeside Hammers. Should be a cracking 3 legs and hoping the crowds will be similar if not higher! I will post my full review of the meeting sometime tomorrow. Edited October 25, 2018 by Shaggy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By heat eight the aggregate lead had been wiped out and it was obvious Scunthorpe were going to get badly beaten.... Yet he graciously allowed the meeting to continue.... In fact, in the first place, he also kindly allowed the meeting to take place on an 'off night' for Worky so fair play to the bloke... Lets hope Worky winning is seen as being 'in the interests of Speedway' and the result stands... Well done Workington, I think you have a lot of neutrals on your side around the country given the way you try to go about your business and have been treated this year... Best of Luck this weekend... 12 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
