Make up your mind. So we have Scunny being 4th or 5th and now 3rd. Will they be top tomorrow?

How much does a team manager really have to know. There's not a lot of tactics needed, riders can give each other advice about equipment / track lines etc. Besides Cami Brown has shown you can make poor decisions & still win the league (as long as you can sign a 9 point rider on a 5 point average).

Doesn't matter what he did 5 years ago though. Only matters what he does next year, to me anyway.

I’m pretty sure if Tobias Thomson had beaten some of these riders on his home track we would be hearing how he’s one of the best signings of the season. Great work by Workington to get Tate.

Another feather in Workington's cap, the young lions U16 kids are holding a 3 day training camp at Northside in February half term week

While Mountain didn't score so many points in the top 5 compared to riding at number 7, I'd hardly call a 5.4 rider weak! Especially if you consider Thomsen didn't reach 4.0 for Birmingham when he last rode over here.

As a Darcy Ward protege on his home Darcy Ward North Brisbane track, he was expected to do OK. He is also the wildcard in the first round of the Aussie Championships so will be interesting to see how he does then.

Saw that & thought if he can reproduce that form for the Comets he'd be a steal on a 5.00 average.

Sorry not on the right thread really, but does anyone know why they're not working and can someone put it right ? Been a pain for weeks, months even.

Looking at the sides assembled so far , I dont think there will be too many away wins

Should be better value than last season entertainment wise, given the team thats been put together Bloody likes not working..

They will end up with a brand new facility no further than a 45 minute drive from Torquay!

Good outing for Tate Zischke tonight in the Centenary meeting https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/22295/29-2023-australian-speedway-centenury Finished 3rd in his semi final. Won heats 11 and 17 ahead of the likes of Douglas, Fricke, Holder and Doyle. Looks an exciting signing for the Comets!

Poor signing if that is the case.

I like Ablitt but I think Hagon has more improvement in him.

Thats nonsense though. Football clubs are trying to house 30-60,000 depending on which stadium and team it is. Speedway teams are looking to park up around 1,000 people at the very max, so probably 750 cars maybe. It’s not asking alot for them to provide some sort of service, area or deal to make that viable and clear for their customers.

Thomson may turn out to be a trump card in this so called weaker league let's give him a chance

Certainly have to disagree re Ablitt. Upped his average from below 2.00 to 3.00 riding in the tougher reserve position (6). Think he did very well last year. Can understand an argument against Mountain, who scored fantastically well at number 7, but wasn't great in the top 5.

No matter your opinion on it I think Workington will be the away side most fans will be looking forward to see. Some in hope to see Celina fail and say I told you so, others in hope she succeeds. Throw in Tate, the Finn and cookie it's the team I won't be missing when visit ashfield this season. Fair play to the promotion, will have more than the speedway world talking about this signing can only be good for the sport

sounds like a lot of pony

C U Next Tuesday.... A term of endearment I believe...

I've only seen Celina ride once in the under 24 Ekstraliga and she was miles off the pace. However it's a much tougher league than the Championship and that was at the beginning of last season, she may have progressed since I'm guessing. Although Tate and Antti (Antti in particular) scored VERY well in that league so it's hard to say. I just hope that the second someone fairly criticizes her it's not labelled as sexist just because she's a girl and she's treated as any other rider would be (under performance = the boot). I can see there being lots of drama on upcoming Workington threads lol The signing I'm most excited by is Antti Vuolas.

Get the feeling he tends to have the local media in his pocket. Swindon looked like a classic case of that
