Sprockett Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Today its just a gater's track. It's exactly the type of track Gerry Facenna said is killing speedway. Just set it up for the home team to win rather than proper racing. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Absolutely shocking stuff from the Tigers, that's the difference with Poole, they just don't go missing like Glasgow have this afternoon! Cami Brown should be apologising to the fans for this display. Edited 4 hours ago by IainB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprockett Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago When they looked at the starts on BSN there wasn't even any dirt on one of the gates, Greg Bair noted that it was down to the base! On the track walk round on BSN they also said they never rip up the starts at all - well there's hardly any dirt anyway if down to the base! No wonder the visiting riders aint getting out of the starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what is painful, reading your comments. The Comets are fast today, what do you think is going to happen if we get out in front and are fast. The Comets riders have had no problems passing today as seen in the last few heats. Stick to being an armchair fan and it’ll do us all a favour. Plenty of proper Glasgow fans here btw. Kudos to them 🫡 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colsimmo58 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Shocking performance, worst of the season,looks like there is no dirt on the track, very slick. But we still have Edinburgh next week to finish of the job and top the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the kind of track that Gerry Facenna said is killing speedway. What we need are tracks set up for fair racing not doctored to suit the home team gater's paradise and follow-my-leader just totally boring to watch.

Kudos to them 🫡 A grown adult telling me there are proper fans because I’m calling a spade a spade and criticising the track.😂 Sorry if I hurt your feelings, little man. 10 races, 1 pass after the first lap. Speedway in this country will die thanks to this sort of thing. Fair play to Workington though. They’ve managed to make Chris Harris’ bike look like a sleeping tablet.

Don't think its a team thing, you have capable experienced riders going full pelt but can't make any ground at all when the same riders make ground and pass on most other tracks but going backwards on this track something is wrong with the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. This track has made me wonder whether it’s Chris or Cruz we’ve got at number one. You’re not allowed to criticise this track though. Accept it, tolerate a sub-par product and watch the sport die in this country because if that’s been Workington’s racing this season (a Comet on the last page said he gave today a miss for that very reason), then no wonder gates are low and funding challenges exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB723 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I've definetly seen the Workington track better but I've also seen this Glasgow team much better, both together will give a bit of a poorer meeting than expected (though I'm sure the Comets fans are enjoying it much more). There have been some good races, heat 12 there was excellent, I've seen much much worse meetings than this so I don't really understand the complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Well... after heat 12 you can't blame the track, Glasgow team is stacked with experience they're well clear with Poole at the top of the league, they just shouldn't be this bad.
