I think it was jeff brownhunt who was at silloth was it will harrison and mitch graham at derwent park ?

It was tried at derwent park didnt last long, i remember going to silloth airfield to watch the stocks in the 70s seemed to be thousands there !

Could be done easy but where does the money come from ?

They done the same at derwentpark i remember when lou missed 1974 when he came back he took a while to adjust to the new corners which had been moved out !

The man in charge is his own man he answers to no one so helping some other promoter aint going to happen i did allways think he would step in rather than see it close wrong again.

We havnt heard from dave would love to know his thoughts !

Have said many times i drive a coach and am allways going on about my " comets" if only half the people who say i used to go turned up one night u wouldnt get them in derwent park , there will be alot more than the dirhards who are going to miss the action

U thought of moving to glasgow lol

Its only 4 hrs or so in a car away lol

why did u stop going ??might answer your question .

U reading something diffrent to me kyle comes across as a very mature young lad with nothing but praise for the comets management not once does the word "suffer" appear .

1970's 19 hts per meeting good crowds and it worked 2018 15 hts with riders missing because they "had" to be in poland doesnt work simple !

Hindsight is a lovely thing but if the catering had been a bit better in the cafe on bend 2 that could have been the diffrence between loss and profit !

Their is plenty of money just look at the bus loads that go to watch football in manchester liverpool and others on saturdays !

So many memories as a 12 yr old going to the first meeting in 1970 to taking my children and grandchildren making friends with people who stood near us on the first corner i hope all is not lost forever to all promoters over the years a massive thank you .

Good old ian thomas in his book talking about newcastle said "its not nice getting up in the morn knowing u are going to lose a £1000 " i am sure laura done everything possible be interesting to know who let her down !

Come on keith where are u

Gutted gutted gutted

In todays news and star the cost of the new stadium has gone up to 25 million as sellafield want office space! Still ni mention of the comets in the plans .

Fans from the 70s will be saddened to know the guy who drove the tractor known as " big c" brian hartley passed away over the weekend rip a gentle giant .

Isnt the "land" which derwent park sits on being sold to pay for the new stadium!

I dont think these days u can say any stadium is safe

Didnt stop 2 blokes at glasgow !

i think if anyone wanted to buy or join laura they might have done before now !

Oh dear not good reading on bspa website !
