Workington V Berwick
Django replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Tungate was shocking, Fisher a much better guest but the Comets were unstoppable tonight. No one in the league would have beaten Ricky or Kenneth round Derwent Park tonight. Some really good racing. Only downside was the lack of music again, too many long gaps at times. Well done to Ryan, on the pace, kept Tungate behind him for 3 laps and when he fell he got up straight away and carried on, good to see a Cumbrian Comet again -

Good to see Ryan get a chance, hope he does well -
Berwick V Workington: Saturday 29th
Django replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As Jacko says on the website our task is whole lot different to what it could have been. Can't see our lads getting anything from this, 52-38 -
Workington V Somerset Pl 8/8/15 7pm
Django replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I understand what you're saying in the way Heat 10 panned out but at the point of slipping 10 behind Kurtz would have been the best bet followed by Worrall then Wright as a preference for a Tac Ride All ifs and buts anyway -

Surely he had to play the odds in that situation, it was a fair bet that Ricky would win that heat, which he would have done if he hadn't encountered mechanical troubles while leading. It would have been a 3-3 with Kurtz in the next heat with the easiest 5-1 ever on the cards Another point on the abuse, it was only so noticeable from the handful that were doing it because the stadium was so quiet after the crash, the majority were respectful -

A bit of crazy night. The 'fans' that abused Josh should be ashamed of themselves, do they honestly think he would try and injure his best mate? It was racing, it happens. Garry May cost Somerset the win by giving the TR to Wright when he was up against Ricky as opposed to waiting to the next Heat when Kurtz was up against our reserves! Speaking of Kurtz, he's a fine young rider who's destined to go a long way in the sport but that move he tried to pull in 15 was one of the most reckless and dangerous I've seen in a long time, worst thing about it was he didn't need to make it, they needed a 4-2 and they were on a 4-2, he just needed to hold position instead of wiping Rene and Worrall out. Can't imagine Richie is too chuffed about his bike being written off! -

Rusty's out, will we see him again? -
Ipswich Witches Vs Workington Comets Thurs 6th Aug Pl
Django replied to Pob's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
See Witches fans! If your in need of a home win just let the Comets come to town!!! I think this is the end for Rusty, as nice a guy as he is, he's clearly struggling since he's come back. It's the Ricky and Kyle show yet again away from home. What has happened to Rene? He's lost his nerve totally, never goes to the outside, looks slow, seems content with his 7 point average and not moving on -
Ipswich Witches Vs Workington Comets Thurs 6th Aug Pl
Django replied to Pob's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It'll be a 15-20 point win for the Witches. As much as the team tries they just can't do it away from home and that's why we will miss the playoffs Please prove me wrong for once this season! -
Premier League Riders Championship - Sheffield 6th Sep

Ryan Douglas has been missed off there at number 14 -
Workington Comets V Sheffield Tigers Pl 1/8/15 7pm
Django replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Thought we would know the guest news by now, but who is going to let their number 1 guest the night before the 4s? -
I would say anyone who doesn't own their own stadium will be struggling. Doesn't leave many - Glasgow, Somerset and Rye House would be the only safe ones in my mind. Even Redcar who own their own stadium are down to the diehards, can't survive on that. The fight to be the best has led to this, overspending on riders coupled with spiralling external costs are burying the clubs. The riders are demanding more money as they want the best equipment and fancy van. When was the last time anyone saw a rider come with their bike on a trailer being towed by a car? I see them at Northside when I go there but even some of these young lads have loads of equipment, how do they afford it? In football if you want the best equipment it will cost £100 for boots, if it's cricket or golf it's £500, in speedway it's £2000 for a bike minimum then kevlars, spare parts and the van to cart it round in! It's become a spending race

Somerset Vs Glasgow 17/07/15 Premier League
Django replied to SomersetBlue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think Kurtz is the best rider in the league at the moment, just shading Cookie. Strong favourite for the PLRC I would think -
As someone who has no love lost for Josh Auty following the incident with poor Kenny Ingalls I've got to say that Tungate could have avoided him pretty easily. He did wind it on into him in my opinion. Auty should have gone in the original race though. Tungate should have been thrown out of that meeting

Glasgow V Workington Sunday 12 July 2015 3pm
Django replied to SharpenRake's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
How incredibly frustrating not being able to get anything from this. Another away match and again nothing from it. No chance of the play offs. Just hope to be entertained for the few home matches I'll get to before the end of the year. Hope we will be back next year. -
Glasgow V Workington Sunday 12 July 2015 3pm
Django replied to SharpenRake's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
We should get something out of this but with our away record being what it is I think it will be a 12 point defeat. Tricky Dicky and Summers will have too much for our lads. Love to be wrong though! -

Ipswich Witches Vs Rye House Rockets Thurs 9th July

He'll no doubt end up at one of the big boys who'll pay more than Rye but it won't do them any harm -
Ipswich Witches Vs Rye House Rockets Thurs 9th July
Django replied to Pob's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This rule was altered slightly this year so a Premier League guest could be used instead of a National League 3 pointer. It's already been utilised by Newcastle when they went to Sheffield and used proper guests for their 2 Swedes. Where it stays the same as last year is that if the rider isn't riding in his home country - Worky fell foul of this when Hansen was riding in Sweden and we could only use Luke Crang at Redcar. It's probably not a bad move by Rye considering who would be available, a lot of riders would be on the continent during the week. Ellis has the local knowledge and by giving Wilson-Dean his Premier debut they're putting themselves in good position to sign him next year -
It'll take a big cheque to get him away from Worky

Won't be Max, Belle Vue have got Josh G and Cookie already doubling up
