Edwards has stagnated this season. Has no aggression at all. Has had gradual progress on previous seasons. Jake Allen is no more than a 6 point average rider now. Mulford's progress is also not rapid. Of the two current reserves. Jody is by far the better prospect of the 2. As for Lambert. have never rated him. Awkward clumsy style. Terrible signing by the Promotion.

Couldn’t have said it any better. We’re in a position that we are because there doesn’t seem to be a massive amount of thought behind the teams we put together. In terms of riders exceeding their average, the comets very rarely seem to find anyone who can do so. Thomson, Loftus, Klindt, Wood, Hagon, Flint, McDiarmid were all riders at the start of the season I would’ve loved comets to sign, as they have clear potential to exceed their average. As proven.  Regarding Batchelor, The ‘new engine’ has been an issue for a while as he hasn’t been buying any new equipment allegedly. That can’t be helping performances.    The mentality at Workington is now to basically expect to get beat at home as it is a ‘fair track for all riders’. Sod that, you set a track up so it suits your team and make it a struggle for the opposition.  Workington 1-7 this year has been nothing short of a disaster. Losing Cook hasn’t helped and as mentioned NHJ is a failed experiment. Batchelor is finished. Tate I think has been great at times but still not consistent enough. Jonas has been a breath of fresh air, loved having him in the team. Vinnie has a limit and that’s a 4 point average. Couldn’t really understand why they had him back on something close to that. Max has done well picking up points and if he had been there start of the season (Unlucky to just miss out on average), Workington may have found themselves sitting in a more promising position. There is so much to be sorted for next year including a stronger team that looks like it has been put together by a strategy and a vision, rather than picking convenience. I for one hope that starts with Nicolai Klindt. Without knowing what the constraints were with team building, he should’ve been nailed on for this season anyhow!    Hoping that Workington Comets speedway are around next year, and that the team they construct is a lot more competitive than this current one.

Good to get the win in the end. Sent you a message.

Who knows 

Wasn't there tonight but was at football last week. Was rumours doing the rounds that the floodlights were being fed from that area as a couple of floodlights failed. Possibly a temporary measure until the lights problem is fixed?

Another very entertaining meeting  with some great Speedway, well done to both teams for that.  The difference today was Monarchs reserve Jordy Loftus who scored more points than the total accumulated by Batch, Vinnie, Niklas and Max for the Comets. Huge thanks to guest Nicolai Klindt who was quite simply different class today, he tried single handedly to get us over the line but as a collective we were not up to the task. If Jonas had been riding today I believe we would have suffered our 4th defeat at home in the league from 6 meetings.  There is still time to make team changes and I wouldn't blame the management for going down this avenue. We scrapped well to salvage a point with the 5-1 in heat 15 so well done Nicolai and Drew Kemp for that because it would have been harsh to get nothing from the meeting and was at least some consolation for the home fans.
