Quite, been thru that scenario a few times, it really is easy to just give it up!!

Youv'e pretty much answered your own question? As the Air Fences pretty near bankrupted most clubs I would find it highly likely that the costs for covers would be the final straw for many of them? Unless they were like the ones at Wimbledon, run em on run em off they would be ineffective at speedway, as you have already suggested, it was dry yesterday then rained during the meeting after which riders threw the towel in and didn't want to race anyway!! Also, what happens if you pull the covers on when it starts raining part way thru but then doesn't stop, your meeting still doesn't get finished, curfew will come into it on many tracks as well so, there will always be something to trip you up!! Think this is just one of those things we'll have to live with, they did meet the criteria of completing the statutory 10hts, bad performance or not the current rules have been met and, to be fair, Glasgow really should put this to bed with 24pts advantage, the trouble will really kick off if they "dont" ?

Now there's an interesting concept, hairy bushes..... err sorry, that should be "buses"!! Good crowd last night I thought, much better than normal and a price reduction on Saturday v the Diamonds, unless I've heard it wrong but pretty sure a tenner was mentioned?

Only in the "against" column Scarra!! Great result tonight although very nearly dragged a defeat from the jaws of victory? Praise to Ricky Wells, what a Ht15 ride that was, never gave Cookie a chance to get a blow in and with KKH holding out Ostergaard at the back, it was worth the money for that one race!! Excellent 3pts tonight for us, closer than it should have been but, I'll give the Panthers credit for entertainment and they did stick at it so, worthy of a point!!

Well, there's an awful lot of interest in this particular fixture is'nt there...."not"? For my money it has all the makings of a very good match and hopefully, weather permitting, it'll be one I will actually see!! Going for a close score of 49-41 as P,boro seem to have picked up a bit lately,expect Cook/Ostergaard to go well but Comets should be more than capable of winning despite them!! First visit for me since Scunny on June 11th so I hope I can still remember the way down to good old "DP"!!!!

Well, my prediction was expectedly miles off but, that looks a nice solid win, good even scoring all round and a welcome 3pts!! So, another blank weekend next week, just marvellous, that's another fortnight for me then without speedway til, weather permitting, the Panthers roll into town, hope it's another nice day and I can catch a meeting before the season is finished?

Comets to struggle home around 49-41, I'll see how bad my prediction is on the Updates site when I get home from work!!

Was just going to ask about that GP, qualify in May/June but go no further til September, just makes a mockery of it being a start of the season competition, it should be finished off before the remaining combatants start the KOC rounds? We advertise speedway on a Saturday during the summer, we just dont specify which Saturday that is??

Good luck with that CD, I hope you get a nice day also, got some catching up to do!! Not always the fault of Mother Nature tho is it, from my perspective, working is the big issue but blank weekends dont help me either just as much as a rain off doesn't, shame that very few clubs will make an effort to bring matches forward in order to help one another out especially when times are tough and support dwindling at the least opportunity? It's a big ask to maintain support when you continually have nothing "too" support?

Not good for supporters either, make that at least six for me as I'm working this week so will miss the upcoming Rye match!! Getting pretty fed up of this now it's happening almost every year, so much so that I'll probably call it a day, just got too used to not going, sad situation!!

It will be mate, Comets aren't on Wednesday?

Time to start a petition, Keep Workington Comets OFF Sky Sports, never do ourselves or the PL any favours, looks totally embarrassing this result, not good, not good at all? Cheap excuses, not enough regular racing as a team, far too many blank weekends, for whatever reason it does for us more than it seems to anyone else, very strange?

Compared to England footy "anything" would be a cracker!! One of my rare visits this week and definitely got two good sides on show by the looks of those teams so very pleased it's an off night at work for me this week!! Comets win 48-42.

Especially for our away performances!!

Nah, the power of positive thinking!!

If that's what it says on the tin then yeah, out of order and yes, Davies did look a bit perplexed!! Have to make those signs a bit bigger then CD as some people clearly don't see them? Are there no penalties included in any of these rules for such instances, maybe if there were perhaps riders would think twice before ignoring what, by your description, are very noticable warnings to such behaviour?

That's disappointing, was expecting a comfortable four pts from this match!!

Comfortable home win for the Comets and never really looked in any danger at any stage? Disappointing to see Scunny struggling like this, they have riders more than capable of winning round here but it never looked likely last night that they would stay there even when they were in front, (which wasn't often)?? As for us well, just too strong all round, definitely seem to be coming together as a team so once we transfer that to the away tracks we'll be alright!! As for that little spat, well the sooner this nonsense of going on the grass is sorted out the better, if this turf is so "hallowed" why dont the club invest in some coconut matting and run it around the edges to provide a small walkway, or, why not simply tell all the riders "BEFORE" the meeting starts that they should not encroach onto the playing surface during the meeting, it's not rocket science?? Never understood this business of not being able to cross over a small area of the pitch, if riders crashed during a race and ended up careering onto the field, are we going to complain about that as well while offering treatment, policy doesn't make any sense?

Wont be there tonight due to work commitments but I'm hoping for a nice "comfortable" Comets win Could be a bit tight tho as Plymouth have some good riders who go well here but, I'm thinking that the R/R will prove decisive, extra rides for Hansen,Campton, Royno and Williamson will, on current home form, yield more pts than Jensen could have scored if he'd been riding, he's not pulling up any trees at the moment so this could be the area of success for us tonight!! Safe meeting for everyone and I'll look in on the repercussion's later on tonight!!

Certainly didn't expect this result but hey, I'll take it!! We left the door ajar for Newky the other week and I honestly thought they would trash Redcar on current form or, at the very least, do enough to win, but fair play to the Bears, anything can happen on your own midden and so it's proved!!

Well that wasn't too bad really, just too many riders in single figures to back up Royno, hope this is a sign of things to come great performance that!!

Was expecting higher rated guests for this match so it's been a bit of a surprise to see these two guy's selected but, you never know, they could be absolutely inspired choices so with that aim in mind let's get positive and say we're worth a point!!

Well that was a very good meeting despite the scoreline, Sheffield certainly hampered by losing Bates, did contribute some good races but in the end the Comets were just too strong overall!! Nice to see Campo finally look like a speedway rider this year, gated well and kept going, hope that's him turning the corner and kicking on just wish Jensen would do the same, another moderate effort again tonight? Wells started OK but faded away a bit toward the end, Vissing and Hansen looking good and solid efforts from Matt/Adam kept us well up to speed, now, if we could only turn these into away performances we really could be up there when it matters!!

Should be able to get down for this, really hoping that everyone turns up as this has the making's of being a very good match!! PS, Least said about that shambles at Plymouth last night the better?

Really needed all four pts from this to put Newky under the pump, left the door ajar a bit now so, here's hoping for a couple of bad night's!!
