Thing is, how can we run the meeting before July 31st, that would mean clashing with Premiership race nights and I thought you couldn't do that so......

No, we're just "desperate"

Absolutely no idea Shazza, I really have not got any inkling at all of whom, where and when anymore!! It was actually just an inference to the farce of our fixture list not anything for definite coz we could literally have raced anyone yesterday in anything and got it done?

Ironically enough if this meeting had gone ahead yesterday it would be all over?

So what happens now, do we flip a coin?

According to the Times n Star it's 7pm v Sheffield on August 11th!!

You misunderstood the post BB, there should be no cut off to decide the play off contenders, "ALL" of the fixture's should be completed by every competing team ie, 20 matches before the decision is made on merit? How can you play for the title when serious contenders could be denied the opportunity to challenge due to missing a set date for getting fixtures in, it doesn't happen in any other play off sport so why does speedway do it?

Today's forecast would suggest the worst of the rain will be tonight/tomorrow morning and iffy during the rest of the day, hope the BBC,s rain blobs were "misguided"

We shouldn't need to, nothing decided until "ALL" Championship fixtures have been completed then all this.....skullduggery will have been for nought!!

The way that weather forecast was looking this afternoon we may not even get the KO Cup tie run never mind a league fixture, some much needed rain coming at the most in opportune moment? Going to have to look into the idea of double headers shortly if we want the fixtures done, we could start with the Scunny match next weekend, league and Championship Shield semi, everyone should be there but.....I think a local vicar doesn't like any interruptions to his fire and brimstone speech with an early start to the speedway so, I've answered my own question I guess with that one but, it's going to have to happen soon as time is fast running out?

Why not J, only been running since April so.... what's the rush!!

Has this been agreed IS, looked on Comets website and there is (as per) nothing to suggest any meeting has been arranged for any time, certainly the first I've heard of it?

Skullduggery, subterfuge, just not playing the game...nah, this is speedway populated by honest folk whom would baulk at such innuendo TW!! Up to now tho someone somewhere is making life very difficult for us to achieve the necessary, we have, at this moment in time, no more Championship meetings to race until the beginning of August of which virtually all of our home meetings were for the Friday night's and are now having to be re-assessed for some other date's not yet forthcoming, so when we will actually start our home campaign is very much up in the air? Is this deliberate, an unfortunate coincidence or a combination of both, who knows but come September and we're fifth and still have 8 home meetings to fit in well....it could get messy!!!!

That's why I quoted weekends, even moving everything back to Saturday we don't have enough to get in what needs doing? Could easily ruin a potentially successful season for the Comets this?

It's been quoted for ages that method because it should be so simple to implement, maybe why they don't do it?

Can't see that happening mate the league fixture is still inside the cut off point so I doubt we'll get any change out of em for that? Agreed with the fixtures tho, even if we start home meetings in August we've eight to get in and only 6 weekends max to do them in?

Workington should read 2 home 7 away so far mate, we've not even been that busy at home this season?

Well done Gazc, you worked me out!!

Absolutely, made all the difference tonight, without a doubt a confidence booster for him!!

Was he not looking at a Polish club to help improve his chance's in the GPs?

This is looking a lot tighter than I thought, just hope that RR doesn't prove our undoing? If we can maintain our good run of form we should get at least a point tho I would be disappointed if we couldn't sneak a cheeky win by 2!!

I thought that was the reason we didn't try to re-sign him for this year, GP rider's in the championship wasn't an option, well, certainly got that wrong? No surprise tho, seems like anything goes this year?

Well well well, a GP rider in the Championship, who'd have thought it, won't be seeing much of him then!!

Superb effort and what a great result for us, certainly didn't expect that tonight considering how hamstrung we were and how well Newcastle have been doing lately, but still, fair play to all the lads who turned out that was impressive, a big well done!!

That's not looking good then, what happened to Mason...guest + RR I'm thinking if there's anyone available at short notice?
