Workington Comets v Glasgow Tigers 23/08/2025 3pm.

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

Possibly the worst four laps of speedway ever witnessed, then all four riders go straight back to the pits, not a single acknowledgement of the fans.

Great advert for the sport.

Expecting another Glasgow away win here.

Is there any updates for this meeting?

BSN do a live scorecard, but I’m not sure if you can see it without a membership:

This is painful.

1. We’re getting destroyed.

2. This sandpit of a track is a joke. Woeful racing. So poor. This does the sport no good whatsoever.

Oh shut up twining will you. It’s the first 4 races, you’ll find it’s like this at the majority of tracks. The only one of your riders who had a go was flint and if it wasn’t for Tate riding hard and intelligently, he would have got passed.

[Fromafar]

Can’t believe Harris didn’t take 1&3. it always been like that at Worky at the start of the meeting.2&4 don’t work at start of meeting

[IainB]

No flashing lights on the Worky track equipment... 2 league points fine and award the match to Glasgow?

Been the same the last few weeks, presumably at the request of the riders.  It's why I'm not there today, out on the dirty beer as it's more entertaining 😁

I can only assume you had a bad upbringing, given you deem it appropriate for your first interaction with a random person to be ”oh shut up”.

Oh, shut up, will you?!😂 Only joking.

Whether it’s heat one or fifteen, a track can be prepared for racing. This hasn’t been, to the extent you’re even giving it a miss. I wouldn’t pay to watch this live either.

Take note, @CTD26.

Don't think Harris ever choses gates for heat 1.

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

What’s the script with replacing Max Perry this afternoon? Are there any restrictions in place for replacing a 2.00 rider or one on such short notice?

If not and with all due respect to the young man, Stene Pijper is drastically out of his depth and will not score a point today, barring excisions and/or mechanical gremlins.

There’s an entire NDL. Surely there are better options.

[Fromafar]

The track certainly does not have the “outside line” this season  compared to last season and is a lot slicker.Probably the riders preferred prep.

Heat nine and we witness the first pass beyond the first lap.

Is this sort of issue even a topic of discussion with British speedway’s powers that be, or are they fully focused on merely surviving?

We’re getting battered here, so I’m conscious this may come across bitter, but you can’t hide from reality.

Stene Pijper, God love him, should not be in this meeting. He’s nowhere near it.
