  1. Don't worry jenga if we win we'll not publicise it for a week and even then just put out a few words to say we were lucky and that it was a pity that the Workington management agreed to this match when t fixtures came out as it was obvious Bewley would be missing and proctor injured.
  2. An easy win for moanarchs. You can't expect a team like this to not have a blip or two and last week was one of the blips. Back to normal this week.

    Glasgow v Peterborough

    Well interesting comments by MD but I really enjoyed last night. I like to win but Id rather have a close meeting than a runaway bore fest and last night was close. Nichols was classy and hard but could do nothing in Heat15. BWD was spectacular and did well to pip Paul on the line. For us our top 5 all chipped in without any being a stand out although Chris and Richie did what was required in heats 13 and 15. And a word for Jack Thomas who crucially won heat 2 again and with the way the team is set up has the 'harder' rides thereafter. Hopefully something similar next Friday and we get revenge on Workington and maybe see a few worky fans as they don't seem to want to race at home
  4. Surely there was something you didn’t like☹️

    Thankfully a Friday evening meeting, start time 7.30pm, so hopefully dust won't be a problem. Looking forward to clashes between Harris and Nicholls should be worth the admission money on there own.

    You really do talk a load of dish water. I realise you don't think things have moved on since 2017 since you don't seem to want to run any meetings this year but the free tickets promotion happened last year

    Come to Glasgow probably 40% are new or returned
  11. No need to think. A quick look at the speedway gb website and being up to date you can easily see what is required
  12. I see from the title of this thread that Workington have changed their name from Comets to Cornets; not a bad idea since Comet was the name of the failed electrical store and you might get sponsorship from a brass instrument manufacturer or ice cream firm - just a thought
  13. Well done lads. Sorry jenga got my prediction for wee Dan wrong. He was like that for us despite us having loadsa money.
  14. Meant to say earlier but Workington was on my mind some really good racing after the first few heats with Aaron, auty and Allen giving it a go. Track still not perfect but getting there. We have a decent run of Friday matches coming up and with last nights draw things are looking up
  15. whats the weather like? Thinking about coming down with loadsa money in my back pocket and handing it out to the poor Workington fans at the gate. Hope its on for Laura Morgans sake having to pay out for all these away wins and brilliant performances with little or no income coming in due to the fixture planning. Anyway wee dan will score a max and the danes will double there efforts making it a clear home win.
  16. Didn't hear start of it but think jist was that in widening the track they had to dig into the old base and with the weather they haven't been able to get it right. He thanked track staff and everyone who helped particularly over the last week including Doc Bridgett and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Theres and interview with Chris Harris on Glasgow facebook worth watching were he also touches on the track problems
  17. Heavy rain and thunder is forecast for the central belt it might hit Ashfield it might not. A few years ago we had a big black cloud over Ashfield some afternoons and the rest of the Glasgow area was dry. we just have to hope the rain misses Ashfield or perhaps hits it for an hour to give it a soaking and the temperature will do the rest, its getting hot!
  18. Bumps, holes, dust, decliningcrowds, Harris needs to get his finger out. All discussed here or other media. You decide
  19. Club acknowledge likelihood of rain today on official Facebook page and advice fans to keep eye on social media for updates.
  20. dust shouldn't be a problem on Friday, just seen the latest weather forecast
  21. Until a couple of years ago there were a core of supporters that would put up with anything in order to keep the tigers alive. So dust delays defeats all tolerated with a wee moan. The place was a tip no real incentive to encourage newbies. Also during that time bikes get quicker and more likely to crash unless the surface is perfect. So along come the Facenna brothers and they invest and try and run a professional show they want and need bigger crowds. If they come for the first time and you want them to come back you don't want them covered in dust, you don't want the match to drag on and you want to show that the team they have come to see is entertaining committed and worth following. It is easier to do this in the evening than a Sunday afternoon and the Workington and Edinburgh matches are examples of everything that could go wrong did go wrong
  22. Totally agree that the track has to be the priority but unfair to put all the blame on the track staff. The large water tanker was bust apparently limiting what could be done. But its no coincidence that the track was dry slick for the matches we lost. As someone else said Sunday afternoon's are a disaster waiting to happen
  23. Since when could a 9.12 rider guest for a 9.06 rider
  24. Theres the averages, check for yourself http://speedwaygb.co/championshipteamissues18
