Workington V Newcastle 16/08/14 19:00 Hrs (pl)

Recommended Posts

Some good racing last night but the meeting took an age to complete due to crashes (get well soon Danny Phillips) track work and air fence repairs.

 

A good effort from Workingtons two guset riders Kapser Lykke and Liam Carr ( a possible siging for the Comets ?)

 

Although it was good to get the win it was a point gained by our play off rivals Newcastle who were good value and never gave up but were helped by two Tac rides. :neutral:

Decent point for the Diamonds even if it is only for pride was expecting another big home win and actually forgot this meeting was taken place shows how exciting our away form has been. If the team had managed to take a point from more places and avoided bad home losses would have a chance of reaching playoffs without needing bad weather rest of the season. Hope team can finish strong and start again next season.

how can we take a point off the comets and nearly got all 3 but get nowt at rye house..

The scoreline flattered the Diamonds tbh, the tactical rides worked in your favour with Ricky shedding a chain whilst in second place gifted the 8-1 and 2 points gained from 1st tac.

Ended up as an OK final score, after looking like we could get humped, especially with Robbo a bit off song. Is he doing too many meetings at the moment.

One more point, and only two meetings to fit in. If we win them both, it could be we will not be caught by teams unable to complete their fixtures, so we would then qualify for the Playoffs. Would be just reward for us having to ride so many meetings early in the season, when we had a troubled septet and any two could have been dropped.

 

Hope Danny is OK, but wonder who will now ride at reserve as if Mills is ill, is he entitled to ride tomorrow with it not being speedway related. We shall soon see.

Mmmm, Peterborough 10 meetings in hand and Worky 11 meetings in hand , only 7 points in it at the minute can you really see Newcastle on the playoffs :blink:

Stranger things have happened. It may be 7 points, as you point out, but that excludes the possibility of any points from our home and away against Glasgow, and home against Peterborough. That must be another 9 points. Add in what TWK said with Worky's rain record, it now looks a certainly. :D
