  1. Getting him on that average of just under 8 could prove to be a masterstroke, especially with every other team just having one over 8 rider. Workington could well be the only team in the league with two genuine number 1's
  2. Good start to team building, i think all three so far have potential to kick on and improve there starting averages. Which brings up my concerns about Jacob hook, yes he had a decent season but I don't see him improving on his starting average, especially if in the main body. Next for me would be antti, yes I get the concern about his away performances but I do think it will improve next year. Not only that he is entertaining at home, easily the best rider to watch week In week out last year. That's what we pay for, to be entertained. Especially at home.
  3. Hearing the news today that Nicolai Klindt has agreed a deal to be workingtons number 1 for next season
  4. Batchelor has had his day, I wouldn't want him back next season
  5. Jonatan Grahn would be the first name on my team sheet, rides workington exceptionally well and is worth a lot more than his starting average. Definitely can't be going into this season with batch at number 1. I would keep hook and vuolas from this year's team...
  6. No complaints, beaten by the better team. Workington paying the price for not having a number 1 or 5. I like antti but he's 3rd heat leader material and batch would be a good number 4. If only we had the tate of last season
  7. Cook needs to pack up now, obviously he's not comitted to racing anymore.
  8. It was good while it lasted. Great track and facilities but hardly any home meeting then gaps of 2 and 3 week just aint going to work, people quite simpley find other things to do. One big league is the only way forward, unfortunately that looks like it will be without the comets
  9. Workington have the best track In the championship if not the country although bell vue will argue that.
  10. I will also be there today as quite simpley I don't want to loose it again. I do feel for the promotion, but having said that questions do need to be answered and I would loved to know who put the team together? Batch was never a number 1, anyone with knowledge of the sport could see that. Maybe it's down to lack of experience? Young team? Young team manager? New promotion? There's a certain Mr Stonehewer who's wife is from the area, could he be tempted to take on the team manager role? Even if it was just for Home meetings? Would certainly get the best out of riders and has all the experience and knowledge
  11. Team changes needed, batchelors performances this weekend don't need mentioned. But he was never a number 1 before a wheel was turned, he went missing in the big heat 13s and 15 last season. Frazer bowes also needs replaced, the team is just to vulnerable to carry him at the moment. Also a mention about charles wright, disgusting move to totally wipe out vuolas out.
  12. And to think we could of kept craig cook who lives 10 minutes up the road..... Said it at the time an ill say it again, a massive mistake keeping batchelor
  13. On ability not much between them?? There's no contest. Going into this season with troy batchelor as number 1 had disaster written all over it. Not one of the paying workington fans should have to contribute to paying his wages tomorrow. He should be sacked tonight, blatantly shutting off an uninterested, must be the worste showing from a supposed number one and captain iv ever seen.
  14. Yeh suppose so..... Don't think either are premiership standard though
  15. Surley craig cook would of been a far better option than kerr or sedgmen
  16. This meeting shouldnof been on. Its not rained all morning and theres a warm wind
  17. Pretty much common knowledge that workington owe cookie a large amount of money for a prolonged period last season. This is a forum, where people discuss topics about speedway in general and workinfton comets. Maybe you should leave it @Neila if it offends you
  18. There is no doubt that cook would of been the better number 1, anyone who has any knowledge of speedway will tell you that. I think we could struggle in in heats 13 and 15 next year, especially away from home. Workington's loss is certainly berwicks gain.
  19. Still would of been a lot stronger if we'd kept cookie instead of batchelor. But Not a bad start to team building, although will be some disappointed when Jye Etheridge is announced 😕
  20. Let's hope not, we've been down the thomas jorgensen route before
  21. Cook confirmed at berwick. still can't get my head around why we would release him an keep batchelor. Absolute ludicrous decision. If the team im hearing is correct it's got disaster written all over it for the future of workington speedway
