Gazc 7,098 Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Looks like a mini collapse after being 10 points up disappointing to get only 1 point but it is another away point on the board. Congrats to Worky on a tremendous fight back, and by the sound off it they deserved the win in the end. Edited July 29, 2017 by Gazc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,859 Posted July 29, 2017 A great night of fantastic action and close score line, I thought the Comets were in for a good beating half way through but they fought back to win against a very tough aGlasgow side. Many thanks to the travelling Tigers fans who added to a exciting finale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 904 Posted July 29, 2017 i think a few dodgy pull backs from mr mcgregor inspired the comets comeback the reversal from 10 points down to being infront was 4 great heats for workington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted July 29, 2017 i think a few dodgy pull backs from mr mcgregor inspired the comets comeback the reversal from 10 points down to being infront was 4 great heats for workington To be honest McGregor is notorious at trying to ruin meetings with continually pulling starts back. You can hear the moans of discontent at Ashfield when you realise that he is officiating . always has and always will strive to be the centre of attraction rather than let a meeting flow , especially one that sounds as if it was a good one like tonight. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted July 29, 2017 Mason Campton best ten grand we ever spent Brilliant! Taken 5 years to get a return on that 10 large. Whined all through that first season in 2012 with Glasgow that it never stopped raining, so signed for Worky, the wettest track in the country. Never sorry to get rid. Quintissential whining Aussie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taylorj 1,000 Posted July 29, 2017 Wow what a meeting that was ...Mcgregor needs to retire ...went out if his way to spoil this meeting some really controversial decisions , let's hope he doesn't rush back to Workington !! Thought we were dead and buried after heat 7 but the boys fought and clawed us back to a last heat decider and what a heat 15 that was..won't be many riders can come from 15m to pass Aaron Summers , take a bow Bomber Harris. Two great guests in Chris and Simon they rode their socks off Glasgow deserved their point , tonight was definitely squeaky bum stuff )) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parkendlass 102 Posted July 30, 2017 And here's me thinking Robbing Roy McGregor reserved his dodgy performances for Redcar, I have misjudged him, he's poor everywhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) I thought McGregor had a mixed meeting rather than a bad one and it was Glasgow that were on the end of the poor decisions. Harris and Jorgensen deserved to be put off 15 metres as both were warned. Heat 3 should have been re run - you don't have to have a faller for thete to be first bend bunching. In heat 9, Perry hit the tapes first, not Summers.Having said that, this was a cracker of a meeting that had the lot and really proved you don't necessarily need passing to see brilliant races. One final point : I am no fan of stewards but the chap on the back straight by the bar did a superb job when things got a little heated. Straight in and calmed things down immediately Edited July 30, 2017 by Halifaxtiger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingersfin 181 Posted July 30, 2017 Enjoyable meeting with the Tigers mid meeting collapse proving fatal. Do wish we would allow movement as long as the tapes aren't touched every meeting is being blighted by reruns at the moment from the GPs down and the entertainment factor is suffering as a result. Awful decision in Heat 9 to exclude Aaron can only presume Jim was unsighted and missed Tom tape touching from 4. Think most fans wanted Dan in 15, as at that stage he was looking quicker than Aaron but can't blame Stewart for going safe. Good atmosphere Worky fans very happy to have beat us, take that as a compliment 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tapeworm 169 Posted July 30, 2017 This may sound like sour grapes but, Irrespective of Mr McGregor's contribution, yet again the Tactical Ride rule leaves one team's fans feeling robbed. I can understand the intention being to make run away leads reduce to narrow ones in order to give the appearance of a close match and add to the "excitement" BUT it sours matters if it switches the result. What other sport has a similarly stupid rule ? If the Powers That Be won't scrub it from the Rule Book, how about amending it such that, if one team uses the TR rule, the other team get to use a TR nomination within the next two or three heats ?
