Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted December 15, 2015 What are these awards judged upon? Not the same criteria that I (and I suspect a lot of fans) use. Of the top 5 matches I saw last season, 3 were at Scunthorpe which says it all really. For sheer quality of racing, nothing beats EWR. Having said that, Workington does deserve recognition. The racing was better last season than in previous years and generally well above average, the speedway is the cheapest in the PL (and indeed is comparable with some NL tracks) and there's the bonus of the Hogster on the mic. As an overall package, its right up there. Think they are based on preparation rather than quality of racing as Leicester got third in the EL! I think you are dead right................and preparation, as we know only too well, is often in the eye of the beholder. Leicester was better last season, too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Django 159 Posted December 17, 2015 Welcome Ty, I think that's a strong looking side with a couple of guys on what look to be falsely low averages. Of course the real test will be on track but im a happy supporter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted December 17, 2015 Yes, good signing is Ty and, given an injury free season, has potential to add a fair bit to his starting 6.68 average. Looks a decent side and could easily make the play-offs. Always enjoyed my visits to Workington, well after 1976 anyway, and hope the Comets fans have an entertaining 2016. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 17, 2015 Tidy looking team. After so many years of being good but not great could Workington have finally cracked it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted December 17, 2015 Very good looking side. Impressed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marksman 536 Posted December 17, 2015 A very good signing to complete the team , Ty Proctor is not a rider we've seen a lot of at Derwent Park down the years, his last appearance was in 2011 when he scored 8+1 guesting for us at Number 1. Before that it's almost 7 years since he last rode against us at Derwent Park in 2009 for Redcar in a team that also included a certain Mr Stonehewer.
