Glasgow Vs Workington (Championship) 15/06/2018
SharpenRake replied to ellioth4's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Apologies for the lack of comments but I did say we are gonna try the Workington approach, plus we had no updates either. So it's good to see some positive comments from worky fans especially those sat behind the computer, glad you enjoyed it. Klindt best I've seen him ride don't know why he's been criticised. Also excellent at anticipating start. As for Mason you got a real bargain there scoring good points for a reserve. Anyway off to bed after celebrating Tigers win and some proper speedway with Paul Starkes heat 8 win one of the stand outs -

You really are something else. Not sure what that's got to do with the last few posts which is about canceling a match in June with 'riders missing' so we can hold it in October with 'riders missing'. But since you mention it im sure you would have rather beat us in front of a big crowd (remember them) so that lots of people would have witnessed your tremendous victory but by the end of the season (27/10) nobody cared, nobody came to watch but hey Glasgow lost that's all that matters. -

That's my point you haven't cancelled matches cos of injuries so why should we and yes we want regular speedway and that doesn't mean whenever 2 teams might be willing to meet each other provided all 7 riders are free that day!! If we race tonight it will be the first time we have had 3 Friday meetings in a row and Friday is meant to be our race night and you think we should cancel! There may be 'free' dates but I take it you magically know these free dates will be suitable to everyone? We offered to race at Workington on a so called free date but it didn't suit Workington so no match - and before jenga jumps in I had no problem with that. but so called free dates aren't necesarilly free. Doubling up might not be a problem but Poland still is and workington have I believe at least 3 riders contracted to ride in Poland and Glasgow at least two. These fixture would take priority over any rearranged Uk matches. -

What a lot of tosh. Have you cancelled matches cos Worrall and others have been injured. Injuries go with the territory. Can anyone guarantee that all 14 riders would be available if we postponed it at Workington request and to my knowledge they haven't. Last year teams refused re run dates cos they would not be at full strength and eventually they raced with teams full of guests at the end of the season in front of pitiful crowds. Is that what you want -

I thought we should adopt the Workington approach from a PR point of view, you know the let's not tell anyone we've got a good team and let's not hold any home matches, that way no one will complain about the food and drink and we won't lose more money. A brilliant business model! And of course if we race tonight that's saved you c20 points of points money. Win win for everyone -

Don't worry jenga if we win we'll not publicise it for a week and even then just put out a few words to say we were lucky and that it was a pity that the Workington management agreed to this match when t fixtures came out as it was obvious Bewley would be missing and proctor injured. -
Well interesting comments by MD but I really enjoyed last night. I like to win but Id rather have a close meeting than a runaway bore fest and last night was close. Nichols was classy and hard but could do nothing in Heat15. BWD was spectacular and did well to pip Paul on the line. For us our top 5 all chipped in without any being a stand out although Chris and Richie did what was required in heats 13 and 15. And a word for Jack Thomas who crucially won heat 2 again and with the way the team is set up has the 'harder' rides thereafter. Hopefully something similar next Friday and we get revenge on Workington and maybe see a few worky fans as they don't seem to want to race at home

It could be worse... -
Spot on but for which team More to follow, as jenga likes to have the last word

Thankfully a Friday evening meeting, start time 7.30pm, so hopefully dust won't be a problem. Looking forward to clashes between Harris and Nicholls should be worth the admission money on there own.

You really do talk a load of dish water. I realise you don't think things have moved on since 2017 since you don't seem to want to run any meetings this year but the free tickets promotion happened last year -

Glasgow v Scunthorpe 1/6/18 championship
SharpenRake replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Meant to say earlier but Workington was on my mind some really good racing after the first few heats with Aaron, auty and Allen giving it a go. Track still not perfect but getting there. We have a decent run of Friday matches coming up and with last nights draw things are looking up -
whats the weather like? Thinking about coming down with loadsa money in my back pocket and handing it out to the poor Workington fans at the gate. Hope its on for Laura Morgans sake having to pay out for all these away wins and brilliant performances with little or no income coming in due to the fixture planning. Anyway wee dan will score a max and the danes will double there efforts making it a clear home win.

Didn't hear start of it but think jist was that in widening the track they had to dig into the old base and with the weather they haven't been able to get it right. He thanked track staff and everyone who helped particularly over the last week including Doc Bridgett and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Theres and interview with Chris Harris on Glasgow facebook worth watching were he also touches on the track problems -

Heavy rain and thunder is forecast for the central belt it might hit Ashfield it might not. A few years ago we had a big black cloud over Ashfield some afternoons and the rest of the Glasgow area was dry. we just have to hope the rain misses Ashfield or perhaps hits it for an hour to give it a soaking and the temperature will do the rest, its getting hot! -
