For Workington Comets, Richard Lawson returns with guest Joe Tabaka at Beeeeeeeeeeerwick and Chris Schramm at Workington.

Chris is doing a good job hope he is back in the team soon.

I protest.

I I dont mind the Comics reference as a bit of fun but if the title author produces a good content to the title he/she should make the title worthy of the content.

Spelling mistakes in the title.

Have just watched the tv footage.............yeah Howe should have been excluded...but the ref makes the descisions....

Just do away with the British semi final qualifiers too as that is turning in to a farce. http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.20061

Mason Campton visa application refused. Hope to see Mason next year with the Comets.

I did hear last night that David Howe had expected to be excluded and it certainly looked like Howe's fault from where i was standing (second bend) i will watch the tv replay later.................. Not a bad meet with some passing and a decent crowd A good two points well earned from the Comets. Oh it was COLD!

The guest system is not ideal but the question still remains un answered?

Home track advantage.....doesnt every Club prepare the track to the way the home riders want it...in an ideal world the track would be prepared to the liking of all the riders but its never going to happen except in the case of the GP's and even then the track curator seems to lack total control sometimes. Workington were very good on Saturday and were helped by two good guests but its all swings and roundabouts at Ipswich Doyle was a very good guest for Barker whilst for Workington the No7 guest failed to score. I really thought Ipswich would go through to the next round with the twenty point advantage but Risager, Lanham and Tungate were Poor althougth Tungate did try very hard. Oh well just Somerset to face in the next round.. Oh and whats all the fuss about Barker, ok he hit the boards and had an ef, he did not fall and hurt himself!

Yes.

I think Taylorj may have some comments to make........................... :blink:

Fantastic result from the Comets but first i hope Cameron Heeps is ok, he got up after a fairly innocuous looking fall and then there were two ambulances on the track, the announcer said he was suffering from neck pain. A great team display helped by the two guest Dyer and Cook although Ashley Morris struggled tonight but we lose as a team and win as team and Ash did score well at Ippo. May post some photo's tomorrow. Well done again Worky. :approve:

Little chance of rain i,m afraid.

Weather forecast looking ok but will probably be Cold, season tickets are valid for this meeting.

Cook and Dyer guest for the Comets and Ben Barker returns to the Ipswich side.

Workington have a big mountain to climb to claw back the 20 point deficit from the first leg at Ipswich on Thursday night...... Oh well we'll give it a good go!! Will Richard Lawson be fit, will Ben Barker be fit, who will guest for Chris Mills?

Cant see Worky pulling 20pts back at Derwent Park, would take a monumental effort.

Back to the meet tonight, hope its a good match for all concerned and a safe night for all the riders. Get well soon Richard Lawson, hope he is fit to take his place on Saturday night.

The return match is on Saturday night, hopefully we (Comets) can keep it close at Ipswich who are packing a strong team.....50-40?

I can only see Newcastle being stronger when Andrew Tully comes back from injury.

Solid display from Newcastle, Worky did well to keep it respectable as it looked like a thumping at one point!
