No mention of the racing

Good to see some bikes in action thank u, but had to put on mute with a " mike" there is no need to shout

The 5 pm start was to do away with using rip off price hotels , stayed at the mecure hotel in city centre a few yrs ago asked how much would a room cost that night was quoted £80 so asked for price of grand prix night she looked and said"oh there is an event on that night" price was £ 240 stopped me going!

Kenny 5 laps fearon remember the night a certain scotish referee came out the box in front of a full grandstand to have a go at him as he had left a marker on the track then banned him from rest of meeting, respect for kenny for not knocking him flat on his back.RIP an unsong " comets" hero.

Still got it on "vhs' at home , those 2 were going slow when erik passed them !

I think the site was used as a driving training centre alot of years ago , plenty of room for a stadium!

Scunny somerset or belle vue style???

I went once on a £19 deal which got u the ferry, train on the pier bus ride to stadium admission and i think a prog and all returns, it cost more in a taxi back on mainland to the warners hotel than the rest of the night out .

Thats the point of my message it was a take it or leave it which is wrong!

godfrey spouting off in the star again saying the " iow" were told what to expect for this season , pity he didnt remember that in 2018 when comets told everyone that they were going to ride friday nights, he soon changed that to suit him shame he dont want to help the "iow" now.

If ever anyone deserved a medal its jean , didnt know her but after reading wilko's book she came across as a god send.

Shouldnt be too hard with only 6 clubs in the league.

My late copy and new order both came this morn off for an even longer bath

3 days of heavy rain no sign of a postman/person whatever hope it comes today 2 hrs in the bath without my comic aint the same

Good stuff we rode bigger cycle speedway tracks in workington in the 70s

For the first time i am going to going against u, the racing at derwent park in the early days was a lot better with tony swales doing the track, watching riders use the dirt and banking on turns 3 and 4 was a joy to watch.when a.denham was doing it the racing was as good but a little less passing thats when crowds started to drop, i agree steve done a good job but for me it was to slick very little passing on top 2 turns .

I dont think the comets threw the money around just 7 lads who clicked and had a hell of a season.

Have passed the stadium a couple of times looks small what is the crowd capacity?

They will perhaps be thinking oh look plymouth have money to spend who needs poland .

I bet woffy and lambert are kicking themselves now ! Just hope it dont go t**s up someone has deep pockets down south.

Chris pusey rode for the comets early season very overweight red as a beetroot after the race sad to see and thankfully didnt last long.on the plus side terry kelly had his best year as a comet.

I just hope they " walk before they can run", .

" for the good of speedway" explain that to all those young fans we are trying to attract .

The storey of Ronnie russell and his George medal on bbc sounds is well worth a listen, a true speedway hero.people north of watford might need subtitles, would luv to buy him a pint one day and listen to the crac .

Am talking about anyone who agrees to riding in poland knowing it will stop them from riding here, after all most have learned there trade over here.
