Workington Team Changes......
scaramanga replied to Midget's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
have you seen some of eddies scores in the last 3 seasons also in the past hes picked stock car racing over his teams speedway meetings and now reports of him going long track last week rather than speedway mind you hes pritty good at getting the best out of resctricted exhausts -
was it a rearranged fixture or a programed 1 from start off season if programed then hell be on a 28 day holiday i would guess

Workington Team Changes......
scaramanga replied to Midget's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
eddie kennet can be great rider at any level but personally i think hes too hitty miss to be worth signing in place of proctor or jorgonsson -
not sure id class lambert as a sportsman good sportsmen and women accept getting beat a little better than giving up and popping wheelies just watch rob shutleworth tonight dont expect him to be scoring many points but hell not give up i certainly dont hate lambert but im not one that thinks hes the gods gift either
-
thats the difference between a good profesional and someone like lambert no question the lad can ride a speedway bike but im not sure he is fully comited to go all the way and also his attitude towards the sport is summed up by his heat 13 shomboating while getting beat im expecting either a 15 pt max from him at newcastle or if they have a word about his showboating might be lucky to see him get 4 points after he looses his dummy i did see it later on but for some reason the page hadnt updated on my pc at the time i posted looks like something was blocking the site

Ipswich V Workington Ch 22-6-17@7-30pm
scaramanga replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
shuttleworth has always been close enough all season to show this lad has something after all hes about the least experienced rider in this league but never gives up and never totaly of the pace thats the story of workington speedway seams that all teams that are not too good at home find form or strengthen just in time for workingtons visit -
Ipswich V Workington Ch 22-6-17@7-30pm
scaramanga replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
really nice to see a home fan giving credit to the away team regardless of who the teams are -
well we noticed it too and did coment that we were surprised it was allowed now i agree to a point that full on safety boots might be slightly over the top but flip flops are not what id expect to see i can remeber richard juul at workington spinning the back wheel in the pits before the meeting checking the clutch he got his fingers caught in the chain resulting in loosing part of finger/fingers so h&s is something to be considorded

What Makes A Good Speedway Track?
scaramanga replied to steve roberts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
only problem there is most spectators dont understand what they shout for how many shout for more dirt then when its too grippy to turn the bikes they start crying bad track but yes i do agree most modern riders want slick booring but safer track -
What Makes A Good Speedway Track?
scaramanga replied to steve roberts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
i prefer the bigger tracks but do agree redcaer always produced good racing when it was prepped right a good speedway track for me is 1 thats prepaired well for good grip but not too much the shape is vital to allow riders to ride different lines and try and pass rather than just follow and hope to make a pass on inside or out depending on the rider infront mooving off line a fair track is always better for neutrals rather than a trick/biassed track to favour the home team or a individual rider -
i think most will know what your stating here isnt exactly as it happens out of interest how much is a new gerhard engine and how much for a new gm before tunning would be nice to see asort off low reserve get hold of 1 and see if it helps them a bit like nathan geaves as he went pritty well at workington a few weeks ago wasnt that good when he rode for workington a couple of years ago

Workington V Glasgow 10/06/2017 ... 7 Pm ..
scaramanga replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
going by the colour of the sky when i was traveling home at 9pm the rain isnt far away ive been told the track wont take much more water so im expecting a early call off -
right ive just read the bspa statement on this and it puts a different twist on it heat 10 would have only had both glasgow riders so almost certain it would be a 0-5 so there fore after heat 10 the score would have been 24 - 37 but i still dont actually agree with the subsection rule it states when the result is mathmaticcly sure another 5 heats to run so in theory redcar could have scored another 25 points or 28 if tac ride hadnt been used allready
-
this should be ran as a free entry meeting or behind closed doors anything else fans should boycot the meeting but id say the nspa susspect the call off was a bit like when workington were at armadale a few years back and were beeting edinburgh in bad conditions when it was called off to avoid a away win obviously workington got stuffed on re reun its obvious redacr were going to get hammered but once again the paying public have paid the price and glasgow have got a result that they would have got but slightly underhand way

typical home biassed texter there are some who genuinly text what happens both ways but more often the texter only sees things from there own teams side
