szkocjasid Posted Friday at 08:32 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:32 PM Pre-season everyone seemed to agree Workington preferring Bachelor over Cook was a good decision. After tonight, might have to review that prediction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 Posted Friday at 08:39 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:39 PM Batchelor has a history of this type of meeting, if he does not fancy it his effort is zero. That's the rider I thought Workington had signed last season but fair play he did really well last season but that tonight is unacceptable from a number 1 and captain. Very poor performance from the Comets but with this team there could be more of this to come this season away from Northside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwaysliders Posted Friday at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:41 PM WHY give Batchelor 4 RIDES when the first 3 he rode like that.What the hell is the team manager doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way the quitter would have scored 15 for Oxford the other night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you do not contribute the place will shut down and a bit unfair on the other 6 riders.I am bringing a Redcar fan over tomorrow as likes the racing at Northside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woke23 Posted Friday at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:57 PM Some harsh comments here. Yes it isn't acceptable by Batch but his bike was awful today. I agree it wasn't good enough. Why didn't he choose his second bike? However, he wasn't pulled up at the back because he was losing. His bike was just rubbish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you can’t really believe that?! You’re taking the pi*s right?! His last two heats, he didn’t get far enough before pulling up to know his bike was ‘rubbish’. Still think you’re taking the mick…you can’t be serious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan555 Posted Friday at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:22 PM A brilliant win for the scorpions tonight! Must say the whole team looked fast and scored good points but in particular Luke Harrison looked to be riding really well and was riding the EWR with full commitment round the fence! As for Batchelors performance he totally baffles me! The highlight had to be in heat 13 when he decided to give up, got in the way of his teammate Vuolas and cost Vuolas any chance of getting after the scorpions!

How there wasn't a reserve replacement in heat 13 is hard to fathom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
