I don't need anyone to speak for me especially someone as negative as you are. Was a decent nights racing with some good heats and for me the score doses not reflect the meeting. Always thought Scunthorpe would be the winners as we are strong at home 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought Scunthorpe would be the winners as we are strong at home "Was a decent nights racing with some good heats" what a rivetingly positive read! You're not going to mention Steve Worrall's paid max and Luke Harrison's his first in the CL and from the No2 position! How brilliant the Kennedy Bro's have been so far this season, best reserves in the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Batchelor was awful at No 1 for Workington – probably the worst-ever leading visitor to the Eddie Wright Raceway. The former Grand Prix rider looked completely disinterested, did not finish any of his four outings and even blocked team-mate Vuolas while pulling out of Heat 13. His lack of effort was an insult to travelling Workington fans who made over a three-hour journey to back their team.

But the focus is on the negative Of course the focus will be on the negative. Everyone who saw the meeting either in person or on BSN is fully aware that there was decent racing. The reason for 'slating one rider' is because he was an absolute disgrace and shamed the Workington name. He disrespected the club, he disrespected the management, he disrespected the fans. In fact, what he did was 'cheating' because he failed to try, for whatever reason. When that happens, he should be called out. This isn't the time to sweep it under the carpet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
