Think u will find it was april 3rd jeff brownhunt let loads of us kids in for nothing that was it we were hooked .

Proves their not all locked up , idiot!

Used to luv watching him blast round derwent park look forward to seeing tackle brough park

James still young enough but how long since he last rode ?

U could say that about alot of clubs,what goes around comes around, if a club reports a loss of a £ 100,000 in a season does that not make them riddled with debt?

I wouldnt pay that to watch a GP unless i got a royal box far away from the people who like to get up walk infront of u every 5 mins to go to bar or whatever, watch on tv with sound off for me .

In london last weekend went to see ticket prices for a show was quoted £192 so speedway is good value .

Your name is apt since u talk alot of it! If we are lucky to evercome back plz do us a favour stay away

Town didnt get the new stadium they wanted built at no expence to them so took it out on the comets making sure no one could come in and take over, no time for mark fryer who was to blame am never going to watch town again its haven for me now lol

Was at derwent park helping alan middleton when he got a telegram off a rider who couldnt make it , i think it was the charlie williams meeting anyway he rang big Arthur browning after 3 pm can u get here tonight no probs came the answer and off he comes from the birmingham area in less than 4 hrs , can u see any off todays " stars" doing that!

We were brought up in the comets early days with each rider having a " childish name" its part of the entertainment. Glamour boy lou sansom wildman vic londsdale firery aussie mal mackay etc it sticks in kids minds long may it go on .

Nice look back to the fantastic 1976 comets in the "ss" this week , steve lawson shows a true gentleman he is saying how much pride he has in both his sons.

I wish the new owner well but if i had a pound everytime someone says they have fresh ideas i could sail the world, as good old "ian" used to say its still four bikes turning left at the end of the straight.if he is as strong in charge as his dad was on the track he could do well i will be going when work allows .

Am sure richard greer is their as well as colin meridith dingle brown ?

George major still got the handle bar moustach

Which stupid rule will they find before the twins birthdays ??

Low nl wages and a blue grove track, going to be alot different this year with wages alone but am sure len knows what he is doing

Am sure most if not all monies due were/will be paid it happens even in supposed rich polish clubs, thats the reason to admire the riders for carrying on every week just wait till my 6 numbers come up lol.

That was our problem we were full of promises!

U dont need to pay good wages to win medals just look at 2018!

I agree 100% with that but its sad now that anybody who " the whole league are after" signs for glasgow at the back of peoples mind is ££, having said that every riders deserves every penny they can get in this dangerous sport to entertain us so good luck to them.

They gave us 4 seasons when no one else wanted too we should not forget at what it has cost laura she deserves some respect for that, the people who ruined the comets are the ones who stopped going each sat night !

Interview with ty procter in this weeks "ss" doesnt make pleasant reading about last season, if anything it makes winning 3 trophys more remarkable.

Just the one point to argue with you"thj" yes the 1980 comets were poor but we had some great racing with boys against men esp one night against Newcastle and it came at great cost to " eddie" but he kept the sport going and for that we will always be gratefull.

Do u think "woffy" would bother to turn up , showed his true colours when he went to aussie to have the birth of his child !
